Talk:Post Consumer Brands

message: Please do not remove the edits dealing with Post Toasties being discontinued in 2006. This information has been verified by Post via email and also by a personal phone call to the Post consumer help line (1-800-323-0768 Consumer Relations Center is open weekdays from 9am to 9pm, Eastern Standard Time).
The production of Toasties ceased in April of 2006 but it took until January of 2007 in most states before the last boxes finally left store shelves. This is what causes some confusion since the time from the of end of production to actual unavailability at the local supermarket was quite large and unfortunatley too late for people to realize that the cereal was no longer being produced. They are no longer being marketed in any real way - other than a slot on the Post/Kraft website. 
As a follow-up I have sent a second email to Post/Kraft asking when Toasties will be removed from their website or at least acknowledged that they are no longer in production, no response as been given - I will post their repsonse here when I receive one.  --Dleigh32 01:03, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That is not an acceptable standard for verifiable source, IMO. Until such time as there is some public announcement, it should remain in the current column. older ≠ wiser 01:10, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I would agree. That falls under the category of personal research and thus not a reliable source for the article. Seems weird since you got the info from Post directly, but until a public announcement is made and reported in a source deemed reliable the article should not be changed.THX1136 (talk) 14:44, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Toasties ARE discontinued. 

message: Just got this response from Kraft and thought I would post it. I had asked when Post would put something on their site stating publically that Toasties had been discontinued.

message: :File:Post logo new.png is a non-free logo and Wikipedia requires that each usage of a non-free logo satisfy all 10 of the non-free content criteria listed at :WP:NFCCP. The file currently does not have the separate, specific non-free use rationale required by :WP:NFCC#10c for this particular usage so it may be removed per :WP:NFCCE. It is the burden of the editor wanting to use non-free content in an article to provide a valid rationale which complies with :WP:NFCC. Note simply adding a rationale does not automatically make it valid; it only prevents a file from being deleted per :WP:F6 or removed per NFCCE. There are other possible problems regarding the file's usage which have to do with No. 17 of :WP:NFC#UUI. Generally, it's considered acceptable to use a logo of a parent organization in the stand-alone article about the parent, but not in articles about any subsdiaries (child entities). The parent in this case seems to be :Post Holdings so an article specific to Post Cereals should be used in this article if such branding exists. For example, something like the "Post Consumer Brands" logo used here might exist for Post Cereals. If specific branding doesn't exist, then using the parent's logo is not automatically assumed to be NFCC compliant. So, if you feel non-free use is justified and you can write the appropriate rationale, then please do so before re-adding the logo. Then, it's usage can be further discussed at :WP:FFD to determine if it is NFCC compliant. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:26, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

message: For some reason the term 'Michael Foods' is redirecting to this page. It should not be redirecting here. There is no Michael Foods page. Can someone please fix this redirect error?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jheisposthold (talk • contribs) 15:23, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Though this is an old comment, I'll say for posterity that Michael Foods is a company that was acquired by Post in 2014, a fact which was not present in the article until today, so don't go deleting the redirect if you happen across this comment in the future. /Tpdwkouaa (talk) 01:50, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

message: The paragraph that describes events of 1929 is simultaneously repetitive and inadequate. It seems 5 important things happened: 1) Merger with Birdseye's Frozen 2) a new "General Foods" comglomerate strategy 3) taking/changing names of GF company or corporation 4) and somehow this is "by far" important (unsourced) and 5) involves the famous stockbroker EF Hutton. Can someone tell the story both more succinctly (less repetition of GF name) and in greater detail why becoming a General Motors of Foods with EF Hutton was a big deal in the era of General Motors and AlfredSloan)?KevinCuddeback (talk) 13:59, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
