Talk:Ferrara Candy Company

message: The company that has resulted from the merger of Ferrara Pan Candy Company and Farley's & Sather's Candy Company is called Ferrara Candy Company (they have dropped the "Pan" in the name). I don't know how to change the title of a wikipedia article. Could someone please do that?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.104.242.30 (talk) 22:41, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

message: I'm considering redoing the "lemonhead" link in the article to point to lemon drops, rather than the recursive link back to the article.  Any thoughts or suggestions?  Bookbrad (talk) 18:15, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

message: Article states that Cherry Heads used to be called "Cherry Chan." I have heard them called "Cherry Clan" and distinctly remember the packaging in the 1980s. Is this an error in the article or are there other variations? 12.150.27.130 (talk) 20:01, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cherry Chan or Cherry Clan?  

message: A section of the article was just deleted, probably because it was not cited or substantiated.  It went as follows:
:"Culled from the efforts and innovations of numerous individuals who built and grew their products, processes, and companies; at their combined peaks these production companies had once utilized more than 5,000,000 square feet (460,000 m2), and employed more than 10,000 workers."
Although I cannot quickly find anything that substantiates this claim; nevertheless, I see that there was apparently ongoing labor disputes and local controversies about the lay-offs and overall downsizing of the company after its merger with Farley's & Sathers Candy Company.  Instead of deleting this section entirely and abandoning its contribution altogether, perhaps something should be said about Brach's once major presence in the community, i.e., as a major employer and so on.  Doing an internet search, there's many articles, as well as even blogs, that cover both the labor protests, as well as discussion on the end of an era of heritage.  How this company and its role in the community changed appears to be a reasonable subject to include in the article… at least a paragraph or two.  Citing the notable response it received from former workers and residents of the area would not be a bad idea.  Brach's was a major American candy brand, and although since merged, it is still recognized as such by many persons.  To wipe this section, without further note of people's ordeals, might be inappropriate and insensitive to that history.  A proactive effort should be made to include this in the article.

message: Could someone please source the horrific origins given Atomic Fireballs and Lemonheads? These paragraphs read more like vandalism than truth, and I don't think that they came from a corporate web site.--RJBowman (talk) 15:43, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

message: After coming across this New York Times article, I looked up , which redirects here. Someone, perhaps the son of the founders, is mentioned in our article as the inventor of the Atomic Fireball; the subject of the NYT article is a different person, part of the same family but a minor-league hockey player. The latter, at least, may merit an article at some point. Maybe both of them. --BDD (talk) 16:59, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
