[edit] Lipton Today

I removed the sentence 'Canada and the United Kingdom continue to prefer Tetley over Lipton which remains in second place' as first of all, we ccould provide a very extensive list of markets where Lipton is not a leading brand, not just Canada and UK. second, there is no data to back this claim up about Tetley (and it should belong on the Tetley page really). Third, in the UK Lipton is not even second as the brand is not widely available there in leaf tea, so the statement was factually incorrect. The largest tea brand in the UK appears to be PG Tips, not tetley, according to the Unilever website, but again, that doesn't belong in an article about Lipton. Mtl1969 19:45, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ice(d) tea

since Lipton seems to uses 'Iced Tea' for its products in the USA, and 'Ice Tea' in Europe, I wrote 'ice(d) tea'

That's very uninteresting.

[edit] advertising

I tried to address most of the concerns, rewrote in a neutral style and added references--194.60.106.5 10:19, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

The whole page still reads like an advertisement for Lipton. Can this article be flagged as such? Bigheadjer 04:54, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

As long as "Lipton represents around 10 percent of the world market for tea" is not backed up by a citation i suggest removing it. --Whmice (talk) 18:19, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Lipton Approach - Advert

I feel the Lipton Approach section is written like an advertisement, or maybe has weasel words. Just the name "Lipton Approach" smacks of commercialism to me. I've marked it as such. There is some genuine content in there, though, so I did not simply delete the section.Erich Blume 17:13, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unsectioned stuff.

This article appeared to have been blanked out, so I've made a restoration. Pepso 00:36, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

I was puzzled by its blanking too and was about to restore it in a reduced form myself. There was no mention of it in the articles for deletion lists. But it did read like an advert. Lumos3 01:07, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

This reads like an advertisement. Can we get someone to look into this? 75.73.153.18 02:06, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] sustainability

This section was edited to say that Lipton's move got mixed reviews, without providing any support for that. hence, I have removed this. Itw as provided by an unregistered user. Criticism for the Rainforest Alliance can be found at that entry. Mtl1969 08:54, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Vincent1, you state 'The move has received mixed reviews: Rainforest Alliance certification, dubbed "Fairtrade lite" by various observers and news sources, is questioned in the industry[3] and was described in January 2005 by Oxford University professor Alex Nicholls as "an easy option for companies looking for a “flash in the pan at a cheap price”.[4]'

I can find no evidence that Unilever/Lipton's received mixed reviews. please provide those. a 2 year old quote regarding the Rainforest Alliance cannot be seen to apply to a move that happend in May 2007. accordingly, i have removed your edits The criticism of Rainforest Alliance exist but is extensively covered at their page Mtl1969 13:52, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Email

Does anyone know the email address for this company, cause the comment thing just ain't workin' out...

[edit] Lipton Milk Tea

Can anyone add 'Lipton Milk Tea' in this article. It is being sold in Asian markets. I only know 3 Flavors: original, vanilla, and goldhttp://pinoyfood.nimrodel.net/2008/04/21/lipton-milk-tea-2/. I don't know about American and European markets but these products are very popular (yet expensive) in our country (Philippines) Triadwarfare (talk) 16:15, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

done. Mtl1969 (talk) 13:07, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
