Are there sources to back up Coca-Cola's marketing of Thums Up as a masculine product?

Thums Up challenge to peak masculine aspirations. Hai Dum? (है दम?) roughly translates to "got guts?" For impartial demographics, I don't know. Just that their marketing gimmicks sound similar to the "extreme" marketing of "do the dew" and that kind of stuff. Eewww, am I actually quoting ad campaign slogans? Now I feel sick... Khirad^talk

There sure is! From their site: "Thums Up is known for its strong, fizzy taste and its confident, mature and uniquely masculine attitude. This brand clearly seeks to separate the men from the boys."--Oolong 13:21, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Why is it called Thums Up and not Thumbs Up?/Marxmax 23:20, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes, maybe someone can comment on why "thumb" is misspelled. Is it just a case of strange indo-english like "press bottly vater" (fresh bottled water)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.107.10.20 (talk) 21:22, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Manmad Hill?

An explanation of why a picture of Manmad Hill is included would be nice. Sure, I see the connection, but a piece of toast with the image of Jesus on it would not be placed non-contextually on the Wikipedia article for Jesus.

[edit] This article is completely bad...

Is this article about Thums up or the life cycle of thums up? Why is brand killing and other totally unrelated entries are there here? A lot of entries should be just chucked off from this article... What say??? Mugunth 16:42, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Thums up logo.jpg

Image:Thums up logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
