message: Given that the restaurant got national press coverage and decided to resume the tattoo offer in 2010, it might be a bit strong to say that this gimmick "failed". --McGeddon (talk) 09:36, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: OK. I had planned to include a sub-section on successful gimmicks, but for a variety of reasons, decided against that. If you want to do something along those lines, and include Casa Sanchez there, that would be great. I was invited to see what could be done to save this article from possible deletion. I think that has been accomplished. But I have no further interest in editing this page. BronHiggs (talk) 00:46, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

text: Re: Casa Sanchez Foods versus Casa Sanchez tacqueria. The article clearly states that the tacqueria was a family-owned business and does not mention Casa Sanchez Foods. If you have local knowledge about the restaurant being part of a large chain or conglomerate, fair enough. But I am not American and am not in possession of this type of local knowledge, so I can only work from the article itself. In addition, it may have been important to an understanding the scale of the potential losses to appreciate that it was a family business. All things considered, and given that the promotion apparently generated a lot of media coverage, I think it is probably best to move this case out of failed gimmicks and create a new section for 'successful gimmicks'. I will leave it to you to act on this. BronHiggs (talk) 07:20, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The logo of Casa Sanchez Foods is the "boy in a sombrero riding an ear of corn" described in the article and sources here, and it describes itself as a family-run business. --McGeddon (talk) 09:32, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
