[edit] More vandalism

Okay this is rediculous....i don't know who keeps vandalising the freakin goldfish page but whoever they are should probably get some form of a life. This is just rediculous. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.251.74.164 (talk) 00:56, August 23, 2007 (UTC)

Why were goldfish named goldfish if the original snack was white?

yes Do we really need to answer that? --Zombie Jeff

The name of the person who holds the record for eating the most goldfish is mentioned--how about the number of goldfish eaten?

Someone has been vandalising the Golfish segment like crazy...we should watch it frequently - Ckolar612

Maybe we should start placing Template:Vw-n on the vandalizing IPs' user pages, according to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. -- VGF11 03:36, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Yeah i've also seen vandalism on the Goldfish page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.168.181.12 (talk)

[edit] Goldfish Crisps

Goldfish Crisps should be added to the article, possibly under a discontinued section (if it is discontinued). -- VGF11 22:36, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] So much vandalism...

Because of the rampant vandalism of this article, I removed "Dan Young, of Scoharie, NY, who loves Goldfish Snack Crackers, holds the world record for most goldfish eaten (7,983) in one serving" until it is verified, since the article once read "Micheal Raisman, of Warminster Pa., holds the world record for most goldfish eaten." -- VGF11 00:34, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

The addition of this information may have been vandalism in the first place. See edits by 71.225.219.143 and this version of the article -- VGF11 23:52, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Smiles?

Does anyone know when the smiles were added? I looked this up to find a history and there wasn't one. IMFromKathlene 01:17, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Do you have any evidence (ie: a picture) where there weren't any smiles? Until you do, they've always had smiles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.38.242.66 (talk)

Not really. Until evidence is found, neither is true. -- VGF11 00:14, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
Gosh darnit, I knew I should've kept a secret stash under my bed ;) Well, maybe someone will see this and photograph their extremely stale goldfish crackers they found in the back of their cabinet. Or maybe I'm crazy and never noticed the smiles until recently. IMFromKathlene 03:25, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
I definitely remember a time when they didn't have smiles -- in the mid-nineties they were added, maybe '96 or '97. I haven't really been able to find any proof, but I know I'm not crazy!  Ethan  02:44, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Add some Pictures

Every other article has pictures. I know pictures of Goldfish are easy to find. http://images.google.com. Just type in Pepperidge Farm Goldfish. most of the picture sare small, but that's a good thing, since we only need a couple thumbnails for this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.38.242.66 (talk)

Good point. Goldfish themselves are easy to find, so maybe someone even could take a picture of them and upload it to Wikipedia. I'll see if I can request it. -- VGF11 00:10, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
I requested a photo and added {{reqphoto}} to this page. 63.165.191.233 04:08, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Goldfish cookies

Whatever happened to Goldfish chocolate and vanilla cookies? Not the graham ones, but the ones that tasted like shortbread, I think. Did they discontinue them? I remember they were available in the early nineties, possibly later. Anyone else remember these? If there's any information about them, it should be in the article, but I've searched and turned up nothing. Graymornings 04:59, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Goldfish Jingle

I remember the jingle being different than what's listed. I don't want to change anything because I don't know how accurate my memory is, but here are the lyrics. The old website (www.pfgoldfish.com before it was changed) actually had a game where you could listen to the jingle and change the lyrics to make it weird.

Here's our jingle for goldfish
We wrote a song for goldfish
The wholesome snack that smiles back
Until you bite their heads off
Do you see the fishes swimming
Oh look, the pretzel's winning
(Spoken) Doesn't that make you feel good about goldfish?
(Sung) Here's our jingle for goldfish
(forgot this lyric, something like "cheesy little goldfish")
Oh look we're at the part where we say that they're baked and not fried.
Did you know they're made with real cheese
Even though they look like fishies
The snack that smiles back, goldfish'

This version's considerably longer than the two listed in the article. Should I add it? Can anyone confirm these lyrics? Thanks. CompGrl323 17:32, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Star Fish

I saw an advertisement for gold Fish in TV Guide Magizine, and it said some boxes of goldFish will now have Star Fish mixed in to suport a charity for heart disease or somthing. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Johnnywalterboy (talk • contribs) 19:51, August 22, 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Steel Goldfish?

I've never heard of steel goldfish, and a google search didn't provide good results... can anyone verify their existence?

Also, were Goldfish Crisps discontinued? I know I asked this before, but I didn't get much of an answer and I haven't seen them for a year at least. -- VGF11 23:27, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
