What?

[edit]

This article states: "The Henry Heide Candy Company was founded in 1869 by Henry Heide, an immigrant from Obermarsberg, Westphalia, Germany. Jujyfruits began production in 1920. Original flavors included lilac, violet, rose, spearmint, and lemon. Rose and spearmint have been changed to cherry and lime, as a result of flavor availability." Thus, the current flavor lineup is lemon (yellow), lilac[clarification needed] (orange), lime (green), cherry (red), and violet[clarification needed] (purple). They were popular in movie houses along with Heide's other gummy candy, Jujubes. On December 13, 1931, Henry Heide died in New York City." This sounds like someone took a paragraph about jujyfruits and stuck it in the middle of a paragraph about the company's founder. It might make more sense on its own, especially if someone added information about the history of the company's other products. Not sure even then that the rundown of flavors and colors would be significant from the standpoint of corporate history. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.158.48.16 (talk) 12:44, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Chocolate Babies

This item was originally marketed as ‘n*gger babies’. When was the change made? 2601:647:667F:8610:BCA1:1C49:6B54:8E7B (talk) 03:39, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
