Talk:Honey Smacks

message: I looked pretty thoroughly and found nothing about these groups or any article supporting this claim that didn't cite the wikipedia article as its reference. Methinks this was a jokester from ytmnd during the brief Dig 'Em fad over there.--Doom Music 19:55, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

message: "In Europe, they have always been known as Smacks."
Honey Smacks and Smacks were two different cereals at least in the UK.  Smacks were just like Quaker Sugar Puffs, and Honey Smacks were similar but with added honey or something.  I only recall seeing Smacks in Kellogg's variety packs (some of which also contained Honey Smacks), whereas I remember having Honey Smacks out of boxes that contain a lot more than half a serving.  And for the record, Honey Smacks were advertised on TV over here with a parody of I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch) ("My Kellogg's Honey Smacks, you know that I love you....") -- Smjg 21:16, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

text: I'm afraid that's not correct. In Germany they were first known as "Honigpops", which seems to be the same as Honey Smacks. I think the name "Smacks" has only been known since the early 90s. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 217.81.221.245 (talk) 22:51, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  You are of course right - I should have tried to verify my statement before making it. --Thiesi 14:43, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

text: Furthermore, the character used to promote Honey Smacks over here was Barnabee, or maybe BarnaBee, not Barney Bee.  Is this a mistake, or did Barney Bee promote Smacks whereas Barnabee promoted Honey Smacks? — Smjg (talk) 21:38, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

message: In the 70s they were named Super Sugar Smacks, not just Sugar Smacks.  Lots of references to this name on Google, but nothing citable...

thread_title:  Honey Smacks recalled 

message: Article currently claims that
: In the United Kingdom, the cereal was promoted with the character Barney Bee from the mid 1980s, to compete with its rivaled Quaker's Sugar Puffs brand. By the 1990s it was changed to Dig'em Frog. 
The original mentioning this mascot reads here with the text:
: In the United Kingdom the cereal was promoted with the character Barney Bee and rivaled Quaker's Sugar Puffs brand. However Honey Smacks are no longer available in that country and the closet Kellogg’s have to this cereal in the UK today is Honey Loops. 
Smacks weren't well-known on the UK market in the mid-80s; I remember coming across them around that time and thinking something like "Huh? Never knew that Kellogg's did a version of Sugar Puffs". But I do remember it had a frog on the front. And the cereal I remember having a bee mascot was "Honey Nut Loops" which I think came out a bit later.
None of my memories are citable, obviously; the point is that they contradict someone else's equally uncited claim. I suspect that the original is a confused, incorrect memory and the later version is a half-baked correction of it.
Regardless, I'll assume that it's okay to remove the uncited "UK" section at some point if citations haven't been added after a reasonable amount of time.
