Talk:Breyers

message: This article seems to read like an advertisement and looks like it was written by people working for the company...  It's a good brand, but it needs to be less POV.  I may get around to fixing it later if no one else is willing. --The Way 06:43, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It was good ice cream until recently.  They say it is all natural because they put "natural tara gum" in it.  Well what if they put natural MSG in it?  That would be the same thing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.49.142.50 (talk • contribs) 2007-01-11T19:45:55 (UTC) ````Fritz
I second this and have added a NPOV tag. --Inexplicable 00:36, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It reads like an ad because it is copied directly from the Breyers/Unilever website.  If it wasn't obvious that they put it here there would be a concern about copyright infringement.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.63.82.163 (talk) 03:14, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reads like an Advertisement 

message: Nothing about how since Breyers was purchased by Unilever they've started using emulsifiers in their "All Natural" ice cream?  Carageenan, carob bean gum, something called "tara bean gum" ... and corn syrup instead of sugar.  To my eye, it appears that they've been converting over, flavor by flavor, for a few years now.  Now even their vanilla has gone to the dark side.
Check out carageenan in a google search.  I find it scary stuff.  And it's in literally almost everything.
This is, of course, the company that used to run commercials of a Mikey-like kid skeptically reading the ingredients on one of those *other* ice cream brands ("carageenan?  Guar gum??")  I'd add this information, but darn it, I can't find any decent sources on when they started doing it, what they've done, when their old "All Natural" ad campaign ran (70's-80's?)

:I personally remember seeing those ads in at least the 90s and possibly the early 00s, but I can't verify it with a source. Burnside65 13:59, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The ingredients you listed actually are all-natural. I'd be more concerned with mono- and di-glycerides. Vranak
Please note (just corrected in the article) that although they have indeed added (natural) tara gum to their "All Natural" varieties, the other ingredients being discussed here (e.g. Polysorbate 80) have only been added to their other (low-fat, low-carb, etc.) varieties.

message: , grandfather of U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Stephen Breyer ,
I found this bit of information interesting, but then I was unable to find a source for it, or any mention of it anywhere. The "source" links to an amazon book on ice cream, but no actual quotation to verify it. Moving to the talk page until cited.
:This information can safely be ignored (or better yet deleted); the talk page for that IP address indicates at least three other counts of vandalism on the day that edit was made. Chewyrunt 16:38, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

message: This article should state that the infamous Lickable. campaign is actually a hoax. I came to this page to find more information about it, but i didn't.. Found it elsewhere though. Anyways, some wikifanatic should do it :) I'm not much of an encyclopedian..  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.119.178.77 (talk) 19:10, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lickable. 

message: Adding disgusting artificial swill to the ice cream only produced hatred in what were once loyal customers. I see that the only kind to have semi-real ingredients is the vanilla / chocolate / strawberry. If those turn, prepare to pay dearly!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.135.252.44 (talk) 08:12, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Why Trash Up the Ice Cream 

message: I'm sure there's a better way to explain the difference in their products. Using the same terms as the advertising campaign doesn't sound fair and unbiased.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:A000:1208:8098:A853:4C19:242B:B51E (talk) 21:59, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Accusations of vandalism of this article from Reddit 

message: In reviewing this article, I have noticed a number of inaccuracies including the wrong logo, misspellings, listing of products that no longer exist, confusion over which products are actually "frozen dairy deserts" vs. "ice cream" and in some instances lack of references.
At the end of the day, I know Breyers would like to see its article be of the highest quality possible and have all the information it includes fall in line with Wikipedia guidelines.
I am wondering if we might get an editor's assistance to make some of the updates that are needed given my WP:COI.  I am happy to work it through however you would like. I can identify the specific issues and provide references and leave it up to another editor for consideration to make the changes or not. Alternatively, I am happy to make the updates but would appreciate a watchful eye to ensure all the changes are in line with Wikipedia guidelines.
Following is a sample of some of the updates:
* Logo: Needs to be updated to reflect new logo that was introduced in 2013
* Date of introduction cited in info box should be 1866 vs. 1908 (http://2paragraphs.com/2013/06/the-melting-of-a-great-american-brand-breyers-ice-cream/)
* Intro Paragraph:  Breyers is no longer a part of Good Humor Brand, but part of Unilever Refreshments Unit, name is just Breyers since it relocated from Greenbay, Wisconsin (http://www.breyers.com/home/about)
* Products: Many product names are incorrect, have been discontinued and not correctly identified
This is just a sampling.  Appreciate any guidance on how we can address. Thx, SusanChana (talk) 14:58, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: , for me, the easiest way to accomplish this is if you'd rewrite the pertinent sections that need to be revised here.  That way I can just copy, paste into/on top of the appropriate edit box, and edit out anything that to me feels like promotional copy or is unsourced.valereee (talk) 11:57, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Looking for Assistance w/ Updates as a Result of a WP:COI 

message: It seems strange to me that this article contains absolutely nothing about the fact (as demonstrated on video) that Breyers actually does not melt, despite being left in a house at 22C!  I'm sure there was some talk about this on the net some time ago, and I am sure that Breyers responded to it. But you can see the results of the video on Youtube - here 79.65.134.36 (talk) 11:16, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
