Talk:Mother (energy drink)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I wonder where someone from Coke-Amatil may have been the one posting this wiki ... looks more like advertising than anythig else to me.

Mother has managed to sell better than its main rivals, V and Red Bull. Really? Citation definately needed, because that sounds like spin to me. In fact, since V & RB control 95% of the energy drink market, it would be most surprising if they'd been supplanted in the space of a month. I'd also question describing the Wedge as 'popular', or indeed 'comedy'. 218.215.5.76 02:36, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

I've rewritten it. I think it is now pretty balanced. Could do with a picture of a can, I can't be bothered though lol. Cheers. Rothery 08:43, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
I think this may be the worst name thought up for an energy drink. Just looks like another lousy Red Bull clone to me, should have stuck with Sprite Recharge. - Boochan 17:40, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
It's called Mother because it's 'all natural', as in 'Mother Earth'... and also because it tastes like dirt. Seriously, do not buy this product. This is completely NPOV. It gave me freakin' heart palpitations. (I was on dexamphetamine at the time. Yes, of course I have a prescription. It's for my ADD. No, I'm not crazy. How did I know you would ask those questions? Because everyone does.) Gorman 11:14, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

I can't beleive anyone would consider marketing or endorsing this product. It tastes like flat old coke mixed with sachet apple cordial. It will never compete with V or Red Bull... Dreamers! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.239.66.56 (talk) 03:00, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Energy drink. Mother is should not be classified as a soft drink.

  • I agree with you. Soft drink implies the drink is non-alcoholic (hard drinks versus soft drinks) but more than that it's an energy drink, and in terms of disambiguation I really thought it would have been mother (energy drink) - but hey, what do i know. Rfwoolf 10:30, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
No worries, I have moved it to Mother (energy drink). If you yourself want to move a page in the future just click on the 'Move This Page' link. Cheers. Rothery 05:03, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Public response

Any issues with me deleting this whole section? While public response has certainly been poor, this is very unencyclopedic and reads more like a forum post. 168.140.181.4 23:42, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

I have major issues with you deleting that section. It is the only thing on the entire page that rings true and makes any sense. I also have major issues with you using words that do not exist for example 'unencyclopedic'. Are you Collette Swindells?
lol, as funny as the Collette Swindells (whoever that is) edit to the Public response part of the article was, I have reverted it. Rothery 09:38, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

booooooooooooooooo to whomever removed the public response part. it was the only part of the whole article that was informative in any way, shape or form.

[edit] Collette Swindells

was what made the whole article comprehensive for me, and no doubt many others. She has many personal ties to prominent Australian figures and her inclusion in the Mother fiasco has really clarified how bad the drink must be. Why take it out?

[edit] Celebrity endorsement section removed

I removed the celebrity endorsement section. Its topic was "popular children's entertainer Michael Bate", and the section was written by user "Michaelbateversionone". Advert, no citations, vanity, unencyclopedia, removed. Tempshill 15:51, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Tempshill, you are awesome. why does everyone take the Mother wiki so seriously? it's the biggest joke since new coke.
