Talk:Wall's (ice cream)

message: In Ireland the Walls company is called HB and in the past its logo was a blue box with hb written in it but it adopted the walls red heart in the late 1990's. All of its products are the same but package under hb. A plant used to exist next door to the Birdseye plant in Dublin but i dont know of any other Hb plants in Ireland, sugesting they are all made in Walls plants and the logo change was a saving scheme on the ink used on packaging.
:Sorry this is not technically accurate. Unilever own the Wall's, Birds Eye and HB brands and many other brands around the world. When Unilever devised the Heartbrand for its ice cream offerings around the world, naturally both Wall's and HB adopted it. As you suspected, this was partly to take advantage of lower packaging costs as well as the obvious brand recognition advantages in an age of growing international travel. Products are indeed made in just a few factories around Europe for distribution by the various country brands/companies which also saves manufacturing costs ... although the carbon impact is preumably high.

replies: text: Both were owned by Unilever but I suspect the Langnese part of Langnese-Iglo has been sold just as the Birds Eye part of Birds Eye Wall's has been in the UK. All frozen food companies have been sold by Unilever except the one in Italy. Abtract 11:18, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Renaming 

message: The article says (uncited) that Wall's "was acquired by Unilever in 1922" but the Unilever page says "Unilever was created in 1930 by the amalgamation of the operations of British soapmaker Lever Brothers and Dutch margarine producer Margarine Unie" - this is obviously a discrepancy :/ --92.24.8.187 (talk) 09:49, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The Unilever article is correct "On Monday September 2nd 1929 the decision was taken which brought Unilever into being on January 1st 1930" from Fifty Years of Unilever. I am guessing that the 1922 date may refer to Wall's purchase by Lever Brothers Limited, the UK arm of Unilever. I will look into it. Abtract (talk) 16:18, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Year of purchase 

message: I'm a little puzzled.  The owner is given as:
: Unilever (ice cream)
: Kerry Group (meat products)
Can two departments of one company have different parent companies?  Or does this mean:
* Wall's is a brand under which two companies have rights to make/sell products, not a company in itself?  In which case the page title and infobox need changing to reflect this fact.
* Wall's (ice cream) and Wall's (meat products) are two separate companies?  In which case, a single "Wall's (company)" article doesn't seem to make sense.
* Wall's as a company is a subsidiary of Unilever, but has nonetheless licensed the name to Kerry for a different range of products?

message: I cannot find any Wall's ice cream in Hong Kong. A web search resulted in some people suddenly missing it. Does anyone know what happened? Shouldn't Hong Kong be removed from the list of countries?

thread_title:  Neutrality 

message: Hello pals, 
I'd like to propose a change to this article's infobox. 
Unilever is listed as the "Owner", but the IBX parameters found in the provided reference state:
"...is a subsidiary or division, omit the owner field and use the parent field instead"
If this doesn't cause any editor-friction,  I'd like to circle back here soon and update the IBX myself! 
Thank you to all!
