[edit] External links

Old Postcards from Brazil - Really how relevant is this to the article? I feel its more there to advertise the site than anything... SimonT 23:40, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

I don't think we should have any external links for specific product categories because there would be no end to it. The only relevant links are ones which discuss the concept or history of souvenirs in general. BlueValour 23:25, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Too POV

It would be odd not to have an article or two on these two subjects (souvenirs and memorabilia), seeing as they do have a fairly prominent place in many cultures, but I agree - it's way too POV, and in good need of a rewrite in several places. It also gives me the uncomfortable hints of original research here and there. Runa27 22:34, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] French bread?

The article claims that, in Cameroon, French bread is a popular souvenir for travellers to bring back to the people who stayed at home. This seems dubious, since French bread goes stale within a day, even in a northern European climate -- let alone equatorial Africa! Dricherby (talk) 18:34, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
