Notability?

Hey, if you lived in the South, you wouldn't question the article's notability. Pulling the flag. Dmforcier (talk) 21:55, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That is not a valid establishment of notability. Please read the policy WP:Note before deleting tags. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 14:38, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Smooth & Creamy

"Since its creation Duke's has never changed the original recipe."

I feel this statement should be appended with something along the lines of... "but the customer does not get the original recipe in the product that they buy." I grew up on Dukes mayonnaise and the 'Smooth and Creamy' version is not nearly the same as the product you used to be able to buy, this version is almost akin to trying to spread water on your sandwich with a knife.98.84.71.145 (talk) 06:16, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Recipe Tradition?

I wonder if it's worth adding in the tradition of Duke's including a recipe on the back of the label for a particular "moist" chocolate cake which has their mayonnaise as the main ingredient.

Proposed merge of Eugenia Duke into Duke's Mayonnaise

To merge Eugenia Duke to here, given that notability is only for the Mayonnaise. Klbrain (talk) 22:09, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

inadequate individual notability apart from the mayonnaise DGG ( talk ) 22:16, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Its the third largest mayo company after Hellman’s and Kraft. And while that may not rank with the big three car companies of my childhood, it isn’t like its the third largest taxi cab company in a suburb 35 miles out of Chicago. She built the company basically out of her home and deserves credit for that.

Support - This is a pretty late reply by now obviously, but agree on notability. With one exception, the sources on Eugenia's page are about the mayo. – Broccoli & Coffee ^{(Oh hai)} 06:10, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support – Eugenia Duke content can and should be structured as part of the history of Duke's Mayonnaise. Dmoore5556 (talk) 18:49, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Concern about litigation

I have a concern regarding the current sentence: 'Also in 2019, Duke Foods went to court seeking a restraining order trying to "keep former executive Wyatt Howard from using the purloined paperwork to help a competitor." The paperwork referred to included "recipes, formulas, pricing information and other proprietary trade secrets [downloaded] to his personal email account when he was fired in May (2019)."' Duke Foods doesn't own or possess the Duke's Mayonnaise product. Per a reliable 2019 source, "Eugenia Duke sold the sandwich company to her bookkeeper after World War I and later sold her mayonnaise company to the C.F. Sauer Co. of Richmond, Va. The sandwich company is now Duke Sandwich Co., Duke Brands and Duke Foods. It is based in Greenville with headquarters on Main Street." In turn, through legal pressure, Duke Foods was persuaded to change its name to DiscoverFresh Foods. The point of my yammering on here is that, although the Duke Foods case against Wyatt Howard is interesting, the appearance of that historical tidbit on this article amounts to a coatrack sort of situation -- Duke Foods hasn't had anything to do with Duke's Mayonnaise since at least 1929. I propose that the content be removed from the article here, and if there ever is authored another Wikipedia article about Duke Foods or DiscoverFresh Foods, then this civil dispute can be mentioned on that article. - Hard thoughtful work (talk) 19:09, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
