Why were goldfish named goldfish if the original snack was white?
yes Do we really need to answer that? --Zombie Jeff
The name of the person who holds the record for eating the most goldfish is mentioned--how about the number of goldfish eaten?
Someone has been vandalising the Golfish segment like crazy...we should watch it frequently - Ckolar612
Maybe we should start placing Template:Vw-n on the vandalizing IPs' user pages, according to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. -- VGF11 03:36, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Gosh darnit, I knew I should've kept a secret stash under my bed ;) Well, maybe someone will see this and photograph their extremely stale goldfish crackers they found in the back of their cabinet.

replies: text: I definitely remember a time when they didn't have smiles -- in the mid-nineties they were added, maybe '96 or '97.  I haven't really been able to find any proof, but I know I'm not crazy!  Ethan  02:44, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Every other article has pictures.  I know pictures of Goldfish are easy to find.  http://images.google.com.  Just type in Pepperidge Farm Goldfish.  most of the picture sare small, but that's a good thing, since we only need a couple thumbnails for this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.38.242.66 (talk) 
:Good point. Goldfish themselves are easy to find, so maybe someone even could take a picture of them and upload it to Wikipedia. I'll see if I can request it. -- VGF11 00:10, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Whatever happened to Goldfish chocolate and vanilla cookies? Not the graham ones, but the ones that tasted like shortbread, I think. Did they discontinue them? I remember they were available in the early nineties, possibly later. Anyone else remember these? If there's any information about them, it should be in the article, but I've searched and turned up nothing. Graymornings 04:59, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I  remember the jingle being different than what's listed. I don't want to change anything because I  don't know how accurate my memory is, but here are the lyrics. The old website (www.pfgoldfish.com before it was changed) actually had a game where you could listen to the jingle and change the lyrics to make it weird.
Here's our totally awesome and epic and cool jingle for goldfish
We wrote a song for goldfish
The wholesome snack that smiles back
Until you bite their heads off
Do you see the fishes swimming
Oh look, the pretzel's winning
(Spoken) Doesn't that make you feel good about goldfish?
(Sung) Here's our jingle for goldfish
Those (something like "cheesy little" or "crunchy little") goldfish
Oh look we're at the part where we say that they're baked and not fried.
Did you know they're made with real cheese
Even though they look like fishies
The snack that smiles back, goldfish'
goldfish are the best i love goldfish and if anyone hates goldfish can burn in the firey lake on venus otherwise known as flakeynus! :)
This version's considerably longer than the two listed in the article. Should I add it? Can anyone confirm these lyrics?
Thanks. CompGrl323 17:32, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I've never heard of steel goldfish, and a google search didn't provide good results... can anyone verify their existence?
Also, were Goldfish Crisps discontinued? I know I asked this before, but I didn't get much of an answer and I haven't seen them for a year at least. -- VGF11 23:27, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

message: 'Goldfish are snack crackers manufactured by Pepperidge Farm, a division of the Campbell Soup Company.'
That can't be true! Goldfish are snack crackers manufactured by anyone. Or this article could refer to the American situation. At least here in Finland we've had those from several makers. And I doubt the mentioned Pepperidge Farm has brought anything here. If so, I haven't seen those. 82.141.95.39 (talk) 22:38, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

message: ...do we really need this nonsense in here? Is the content of a specific snack commercial encyclopedic material? -- 88.78.196.75 (talk) 18:40, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Generally, no, we do not give details of specific ad campaigns. Typically, its a case of recentism: favoring current high-profile content (from primary sources, no less) simply because it is being thrust in our faces right now. These crackers have been around for decades, but the advertising details editors are trying to edit are strictly focused on very recent advertising. Some advertising content will cross over the threshold. It's kinda hard to imagine an article on the Big Mac without mentioning "two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese...", for example. How do we decide? Simple: Inclusion-worthy material will be discussed in independent reliable sources discussing the subject. An article discussing the Big Mac at length will mention the "Big Mac Attack". Similar articles on Goldfish will not give a laundry list of fish character names with "TBA" as the name of the voice actor (which repeatedly shows up here). Instead, that is material either taken directly from the ads or pulled from blogs and such around the 'net. It does not belong here. - SummerPhD (talk) 11:48, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: As mentioned on the IP's talk page, the list of characters is absurdly trivial. If independent reliable sources discuss this magical fairytale land obliquely referred in 30 second cracker commercials, we might have something to add. It is highly unlikely that any such source exists. - SummerPhD (talk) 13:42, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

replies: text:  This article is not a brochure for new cracker flavors see WP:RELEASENOTES. Indeed, I have removed this section about "flavor blasted sections" as being trivial, secondary to the main flavors, and counter to WP:BROCHURE. Most of the content in that section was unsourced also. This article should not be used as a platform to advertise or otherwise showcase Pepperidge Farm's latest flavors.

message: Do flavors of the Flavor Blasted variety (i.e. Xtra Cheddar) still get listed under the flavors section? There was a previous article in the talk page mentioning Flavor Blasted flavors, but I don't fully understand what they were talking about. I added a bullet for the flavor Xtra Cheddar, and I am currently unsure whether to undo it or leave it.
