Talk:Baileys Irish Cream

message: I don't know about that calorie count. Over 400 is indeed what it says on Baileys' web page, but even for cream, sugar and liquor, over 400 calories for 1.5 oz seems high. Even 1.5 oz of straight oil doesn't come in that high. Every other web source I checked had it under 160 calories per 1.5 oz. (I Googled "nutritional information irish cream".)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Miss anna (talk • contribs) 02:04, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: According to Baileys' site  the cream is stable and if kept at a constant room temperature should last for quite awhile, they recommend drinking it within 24 months of bottling.  Perhaps this should be added to the article. -- Ari 04:07, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: 24 months of bottling?  The storage temp. should make a difference.  Any way to request clarification from the manufacturer?--71.139.138.14 04:00, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

text: I usually have a bottle of Baileys in the freezer. It will make the drink a lot thicker (but if your freezer temp. is set too low, it will freeze it). I have had bottles on the freezer for up to a year with no change in flavor. Quase 18:35, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

text: It's also great to store in the fridge for an about ~8 C temperature. Won't thicken anything, but provides a good stable temperature. -- Northgrove 19:25, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

text: Agreed.  The whole intro reads is if it were written by the company itself. I'll try to make a few small changes. --Loudsox 03:23, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I guess, that is because the creator of the article basically did a quick copy-paste from an official website. With respect, Deliogul 21:16, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

text: In re: "the cement mixer", the article makes it sound like this is a cocktail that one drinks on purpose; I've only ever seen it thrust upon an unsuspecting-and-inebriated victim, who then proceeds to get sick from the coagulation.  Icky.  --JD79 14:08, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

message: In addition to the official Bailey's site, Diageo also has a website that they've designed as a extra resource for their brands. It is www.thebar.com- I think this link would be useful to add to the page. Any thoughts? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jack The Bartender (talk • contribs) 17:18, November 21, 2006  (UTC)
:Based on the comments on your talk page regarding your commercial connection to that site, and on Wikipedia NPOV policy; I'd say it's a resounding "no". -- weirdoactor t|c -- 23:26, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Adding Commercial Links 

message: This is probably one of the most poorly organized articles I have come across in quite awhile. There is no rhyme or reason to the formatting; the article reads like a bunch of random facts thrown together. If anyone has any suggestions on how this article should be better organized, I'd be happy to work on it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.2.233.44 (talk) 23:22, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Formatting 

message: Is this process dangerous if it happens inside the stomach, since there are acids in the stomach. I put some Baileys with coca cola and it heavily expanded, is this the same as described as curdling? Due to the heavy expand I wondered if the acid in the stomach was dangerous. Mallerd 14:14, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hm, did some research by myself already and it says it is not dangerous. :) I add it to the article as an Urban legend.Mallerd 14:27, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The fact that Mallerd thought it might be dangerous doesn't make it an urban legend. It should be removed from the article or sourced. ♣DeathRattle101 AKA LUX♣ (verbalizegenerosity) 10:22, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

message: does anyone know what brand/type of whiskey Bailey's uses in manufacture/
(assumably some form of Irish whiskey) --SJK 09:21, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Who knows, probably just generic Irish whisky. Or maybe Bushmills? Diageo does own the brand after all. But in reality its undisclosed information so don't put that in the artcle :P.♣DeathRattle101 AKA LUX♣ (verbalizegenerosity) 10:18, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Brand of whiskey used 

message: User:67.193.141.140 recently changed the nutritional info from what is available on the official Baileys site (403 calories per 1.5 oz) to a number from about.com (163.5 calories per 50 ml). I'll be the first to admit that I don't know what is right here (and in fact I hope it's the lesser number!). But in the absence of a reliable source as defined by Wikipedia's policy, I'm inclined to leave in the official number. Thoughts? -Phoenixrod (talk) 03:17, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Heh, no worries about logging in, Rishiboy; the IP address just didn't have many edits, so I thought you might be new. As you point out, since Diageo owns Baileys, that new link should do the trick. It's more reliable than about.com, to be sure. -Phoenixrod (talk) 04:07, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

text: I've updated the section. Feel free to have a go. The current list format isn't terribly graceful, but I suppose it does the job. -Phoenixrod (talk) 04:15, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Nutritional values 

message: Hi, I am a representative for Baileys Original Irish Cream, and would like to discuss making some changes to this page and adding reliable references to the article. I am aware of Wikipedia’s conflict of interest guidelines, so wanted to run the proposed changes past you here first. 
If there are no objections, I would like to suggest that the page structure is reworked to make it a clearer and easier page to navigate. Does anyone have any objections to changing the page structure as follows?
• Amalgamate Origin and History sections
• Manufacture
• Storage and shelf life
• Nutritional values
• Drinking
• Variant flavours 
• Cocktails containing Baileys 
• See also 
• Notes
• References 
• External links

thread_title:  Improving structure and references 

message: The article claims:
:More than 4 million litres of Irish cream a year is used in the production of  Baileys, amounting to 4.3% of Ireland’s total milk production.From a review at ciao.co.uk
The "4.3%" number seems extremely unlikely.  According to the Irish Central Statistics Office, 2008 production of drinking milk and buttermilk was 572,000 metric tonnes, or about 572 million litres, with little variation from the three years previous.  Even if the "4 million litres of cream" given in the article is correct, this is only 0.7% of production, not 4.3%.  Since the cited source is completely unreliable, I am removing this sentence from the article.  —Dominus (talk) 16:28, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  4.3% of Irish milk production 

message: Added to "list of cocktails" at 11:02 on 4 November 2009 by anonymous user@92.17.229.156 - there's no reference, nothing about it in the "list of cocktails" page. Has this one just been slipped in (as it were) under the radar? Gwinkless (talk) 10:00, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Good call. I've removed it, pending a reliable source. A quick Google search finds only mirrors of Wikipedia and a forum where a poster claims to have invented it. -Phoenixrod (talk) 17:41, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Soapy tit wank? Really? 

message: The article says that the trademark is owned by Martin Breyer, a redlink; the rest of the article refers to Breyer as it - presumably as a company - but judging by Kilkenny Castle Breyer is a he. Except that Google seems oddly vague about the connection, with only three hundred hits for "Martin Breyer" + Baileys, mostly mirrors of Wikipedia, and the official website says that Baileys is © R&A Bailey & Co. 2009, with no mention of Breyer at all. Does he have anything to with Baileys at all and can someone supply a reference for this? -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 21:59, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Or was a he, as that Martin Breyer is presumably dead! -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 22:03, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
