Talk:Cocoa Krispies

message: * Was it actually renamed "Cocoa Rice Krispies" in the US?  According to the Kellogg's site it's still just called "Cocoa Krispies".  Gutzalpus 22:03, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: coco the monkey?

message: * Cocoa Krispies is the original name, thus being the prime name hands down. You can't argue with it's original name. Cocoa Krispies should be priority because this is a site about information. -Friendly user
*: This article should conform to the standard, it is most known as coco pops worldwide and thus they should either be split or coco pops given priority. Matthew Fenton (contribs) 09:18, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

text: I'm sorry, but whenever an article about something that isn't US-specific (whether it's a cereal or whatever) favours the United States version of the name when that's not the name in the majority of other countries, that is bias. If you think I'm acting high and mighty, then so be it. --Stevefarrell 01:08, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: My issue wasn't with just saying there was bias, but with saying it has "no place on Wikipedia, no matter where the Wikimedia foundation headquarters are." We know that, so there's no need to state in such an argumentative way. That's all. Dekimasu 01:21, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This should be moved back, it's a US based product from a US based company. Cocoas Krispies is the correct name and it was just re-named when they decided to release it in some countries. TJ Spyke 04:30, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

message: The article gives Coco's accent as australian, but he just sounds british to me. Being british myself, that may mean I'm not as able to notice such stereotypes, but what does everyone else think?
:I'd say so (and several adverts feature Kylie the Kangaroo, who definitely does have an Australian accent). The article seems to be referring to the US commercials, which I've not seen; maybe he has a different voice actor in those. Daibhid C 13:20, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Don't know if it's worth mentioning, but no form of Cocoa Krispies/Coco Pops are available in Canada. :(  ( chicken queen 02:17, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: :( Canada

message: Not often remembered but factual. There was a real life version of Coco that did appear in ads and on the box of the cereal in the United States. This was more of a transition period in the means of fading out the animated version and going back to Snap Crackle and Pop. I have a picture of the box that was on shelves at this time while the ads focusing around the new commercials. 
Real Life Coco used in the mid 90s in US
Couldn't find more then that but I'm hoping someone else remembers this too as I don't know how much more I could find on it. I wish I had the exact date too. It was either 96 or maybe a little earlier. But this version didn't last too long. I know that much. I do remember the ads well though. As I was so disapointed when they got rid of the animated version with the cool songs for this monkey that didn't talk while kids were eating the cereal talking to this new real life coco as if he understood them. Anyway i added the little bit about it into the mascots section here. If anyone remembers more details on the second version of coco that was used feel free to add accordingly.

message: Does anyone in the UK know if I'm dreaming an *earlier*, and very short-lived name change to "Coco Krispies" in the UK? (No, *not* the later "Choco Krispies", and not the one from the 60s, long before I was born!).
This would have had to be the the very early 80s (or a hairs' breadth from the end of the 1970s), but I don't remember any more.
It could have been another publicity stunt, but though I was young I definitely remember it because I much preferred the Coco Krispies name and was disappointed when they changed it back.

message: Enough already with the trivia in the Mascots section. Wikipedia rules strongly discourage this type of inane trivia.
Since most of the info in this section is about UK advert campaigns and I'm in the US, I'm requesting clean-up from UK-based editors.
One final plea: Before adding more details to this cluttered, confusing section, ask yourself: Does this help improve the article? Or am I only adding this because I remember this cute advert on the telly?" Thanks, and may sanity be restored to this WP entry! Kinkyturnip (talk) 06:24, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

message: Comparing the current ingredients from Kellogg's site with older ingredient panels also available online ( example), it seems clear that Kellogg's removed semisweet chocolate from the ingredient list about a year ago, replacing it with maltodextrin and three kinds of food coloring. 
Reviewers on Reddit and Kellogg's product page hate it. It seems like an important material change in the formula, and it also seems as if they may have had chocolate for the prior life of the product. It's difficult to find a proper cite, though, because Kellogg's has no reason to promote this cheaper reformulation.  What's an appropriate way to call out this material (and frankly gross) change? 2600:1700:3FD1:F50:902B:1CE1:EA84:B8AB (talk) 12:50, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
