Talk:Fluffernutter

message: Is it necessary to say that it is spread over white bread? What if whole wheat or pumpernickel is used? It would still be considered a fluffernutter sandwhich  due to the presence of marshmallow creme and peanut butter.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.163.86.157 (talk) 19:10, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

message: They make a reference to the Fluffernutter, at a point in the show her mother drops by to give her something to eat and she offers Isles one and she said what is the white stuff, she said fluff, like cotton? no like marshmallow and the brown stuff is particles of ground up oily peanuts, what they didn't have these in boarding school?
I think it should be added to the reference list

message: Hi Fluffernutter,
I tried to address some of my concerns with Nomoskedasticity regarding this article-- but just got his slight response below. First of all, there is no verifiability with Epstein as being under investigation for money laundering. None of the references mention it and ref #7 does not link through to a source. Given the seriousness of the accusation and that it is the lead of the article, it should be removed. Who can do this without being stone walled?  Also, it concerns me as I wrote below that this article shows his mug shot when there are other salient aspects to this person. Thank you for considering my talk message to the editor below. Ianmacman is also concerned about a mug shot being used here. Obviously Epstein's crimes are serious and should be mentioned but so are aspects to his science funding. The editor below won't even let me quickly define the Program for Evolutionary Dynamics that Epstein founded and that it is the first program that a) studies evolution from a mathematic point of view and b) the first to establish a mathematic quantification of the in vivo kinetics of a human cancer. This is not off topic in my view to point this out. Noone will know what the Program for Evolutionary Dynamics is and shouldn't have to link to a new article that doesn't even exist yet on Wikipedia. THe reader should be allowed to at least a line of definition. It is a significant accomplishment in the field of biology.
I look forward to your thoughts. Thank you, TurvillTurvill (talk) 22:14, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Jeffrey Epstein Article

message: Given the recent edit conflicts between me and User:Kintetsubuffalo on this article, I've decided to come here, to the talk page, to make my point and wait for a counter-point.
According to your edit summaries, the lead paragraph that you've deleted is a duplication of another part of the article. While I don't know exactly what that other part is, I've taken a guess, and the two sections are below. This first quote is from the lead and is the offending section:
The sandwich was first created in the early twentieth century after marshmallow creme, a sweet marshmallow-like spread, was invented in the U.S. state of Massachusetts. Archibald Query of Somerville, Massachusetts, invented a product he called Marshmallow Creme in 1917, and Emma and Amory Curtis of Melrose, Massachusetts, invented Snowflake Marshmallow Creme in 1913. During World War I, Emma Curtis published a recipe for a peanut butter and marshmallow creme sandwich, which is the earliest known example of a Fluffernutter. Meanwhile, Query sold his recipe to Durkee-Mower Inc., who renamed it Marshmallow Fluff and continues to sell it under that name today. The term Fluffernutter was created in 1960 by an advertising agency hired by Durkee-Mower to find a more effective way to market the peanut butter and marshmallow sandwich.
And this is from the article's history section:
Marshmallow creme, one of the two main ingredients of a Fluffernutter, was invented in the early 20th century. Archibald Query invented a creation he called Marshmallow Creme in Somerville, Massachusetts, in 1917, while Amory and Emma Curtis of Melrose, Massachusetts, invented Snowflake Marshmallow Creme in 1913. During World War I, Emma Curtis published a recipe for the Liberty Sandwich, which consisted of peanut butter and Snowflake Marshmallow Creme on oat or barley bread.[13] The recipe was published in a promotional booklet sent to Curtis' customers in 1918 and may be the origin of the Fluffernutter sandwich.[14] Earlier labels and booklets published by the Curtises suggested combining Snow Flake Marshmallow Creme with peanut butter or eating it on sandwiches with chopped nuts or olives.[14]
Meanwhile, sugar shortages during World War I hurt sales of Archibald Query's Marshmallow Creme, so Query sold his recipe in 1920 to two men from Swampscott, Massachusetts, H. Allen Durkee and Fred L. Mower, who began distributing the product through their company, Durkee-Mower Inc. The pair renamed the product Toot Sweet Marshmallow Fluff, and Durkee-Mower continues to sell the product under the name Marshmallow Fluff.[15] The sandwich made with peanut butter and marshmallow creme continued to be eaten, but was not called a Fluffernutter until 1960, when an advertising firm Durkee-Mower hired created the term as a more effective way to market the sandwich.[15][13] Fluffernutter is a registered trademark of Durkee-Mower, although the company's U.S. trademark registrations for the term cover only ice cream and printed recipes. In 2006, Durkee-Mower sued Williams-Sonoma Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, alleging that Williams-Sonoma infringed on its trademark by selling a marshmallow and peanut butter chocolate-covered candy under the Fluffernutter name.[16]
While they cover the same content, I cannot say that they are duplications of each other. Rather, the quote from the lead is a whittled down parphrase of the quote from the main article. I thought that's how you were supposed to do it. Honestly, that's how I've done it with all of my articles, and I've never encountered someone saying otherwise, until now. Will you help me edit the lead to your satisfaction, Kintetsubuffalo? Bobnorwal (talk) 16:15, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

Here goes. While the article sandwich has the interesting stuff inside, you have to wade through too much fluff first, causing loss of appetite rather than whetting it.
The sandwich was first created in the early twentieth century after marshmallow creme, a sweet marshmallow-like spread, was invented in the U.S. state of Massachusetts. Archibald Query of Somerville, Massachusetts, invented a product he called Marshmallow Creme in 1917, and Emma and Amory Curtis of Melrose, Massachusetts, invented Snowflake Marshmallow Creme in 1913. During World War I, Emma Curtis published a recipe for a peanut butter and marshmallow creme sandwich, which is the earliest known example of a Fluffernutter. Meanwhile, Query sold his recipe to Durkee-Mower Inc., who renamed it Marshmallow Fluff and continues to sell it under that name today. The term Fluffernutter was created in 1960 by an advertising agency hired by Durkee-Mower to find a more effective way to market the peanut butter and marshmallow sandwich.
So it would then read like this, smooth and creamy, not so chunky:
The sandwich was first created in the early twentieth century after marshmallow creme, a sweet marshmallow-like spread, was invented in the U.S. state of Massachusetts. The term Fluffernutter was created in 1960 to find a more effective way to market the peanut butter and marshmallow sandwich.
It's easier to swallow and makes you want more. Of course, I've never put olives in one, so I could be wrong. By the way, what was the outcome of the lawsuit? That's what I'm hungering for. Thanks!--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 01:38, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: I have incorporated your suggestions, with a few changes. Feel free to tweak it or rewrite it. Re: "20th century", feel free to pick one. I'm fine with either. But maybe you should see what the Manual of Style says about it? I think it would be best if you just edit the article directly from now on, rather than discussing everything on the talk page first. I wrote this article awhile ago and have no further plans for it. Besides that, a few of your actions (ie, deleting a section of the article, then restoring it without acknowledging a change of heart; changing the title of this talk page subsection; and not addressing your intial assertion of "duplication") and the brash tone of your user page have made our interactions a little uncomfortable for me. I'm here to enjoy myself, and a fight over Fluffernutters is just silly, so I'm going to back away now. I don't mean you any harm. See you around. Bobnorwal (talk) 22:15, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

message: This page describes the invention/history of marshmallow creme in useful detail but wisely (?) omits mention of any Earl of Sandwich type story about the first fluffernutter.
Yet, somehow a real (?) person named George Newman is listed in the info box as "inventor" -- what is the evidence for that? if there is evidence, why don't we see it cited?
Oh, wait, I found a reference to George Newman in WP: UHF_(film) Martindo (talk) 00:47, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
