[edit] Corporate Structure

Where, if at all does Callard&Bowser-Suchard fit into Wrigleys and where should it go on the page? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Callard_%26_Bowser-Suchard

[edit] Rename

Perhaps it should be renamed to Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company, William Wrigley Jr. Company, or William Wrigley Junior Company.--Jerryseinfeld 03:02, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Orbit

This brand has been produced in the UK since at least the early 90's. Are all those dates the introduction of the brands to the US or something? --Zilog Jones 21:32, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Aluminum wrappers

Dumb question, but I'm dying to know why Wrigley's uses aluminum in gum wrappers? Anyone know?

Why no list of european wrigley products?????

There are many more different ones in the UK inlcuding 'Extra ice'

[edit] Other Products

I don't know where this is produced so I don't know where to put it, but we have ["Extra Drops" in Australia]. These should be included, but do they go under the US or the UK header? DanielBC 06:19, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] infobox

Dear Wrighly, I just saw your commercial for orbit gum on TV. I am appauled. It shows a man completely buried in the sand on a beach up to his neck, while his friend throws sand in his face. I'm certain you are familiar! Don't you know that children try these things? Children, teenagers, anyone can be and have been buried alive innocently playing in sand at the beach. Certainly you can think up something better than this. By the way, Beaman's was my favorite. Smarten Up. Don't encourage tragedy at someplace as fun, peaceful and relaxing as at the beach.

I double dog dare you to respond!

[edit] Inappropriate addition?

This edit has been restore after I removed it as boosterism. The IP address that added it (195.216.25.222 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log)), along with Ellielancaster (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log) appear to be editing as part of a campaign by Wrigley's to promote the health benefits of chewing gum - a benefit that WikiProject Dentistry seemed to think was rather more limited than some of their edits implied.

I believe this edit is an inappropriate use of Wikipedia as a platform to promote a POV by selective use of research and by according undue weight to it. I believe that we should not be covering this effort of Wrigley's in this article unless significant other publications think Wrigley's efforts in this area are worth commenting on. Certainly the entry as it stands is inappropriate. Since I've been reverted and do not wish to edit war I thought I' bring it to the talk page to develop a consensus. -- Siobhan Hansa 14:50, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

I agree with everything you said both here and on the COI Noticeboard. It is a blatant advert, so I have reverted it. - X201

[edit] Candystand Article?

I think we need to make a Candystand article. So, someone get on it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.10.137.240 (talk) 00:53, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
