Updates due to inaccuracies

Hello, I work for PepsiCo and do not intend to update this page to reflect as an advertisement for the brand. The page previously had multiple inaccuracies concerning the flavoring and formula of the product. I have corrected those inaccuracies and provided more background information on the brand, citing reliable sources. Please let me know if I can be of help in any way. --Scd269 (talk) 16:48, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV or is this statistical?

I have no objections, as I'm drinking it right now and love it, but "It has a lemony flavor and is considered by many to be very tasty" just sort of makes me laugh. JordanZed 14:33, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV or passive aggressive

Brisk is artificial but does this really have to be emphasized so frequently throughout the article? 96.10.224.195 (talk) 18:35, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Contrary to the updates made by User talk:69.172.149.94, Brisk is not 100% artificial. While Brisk does contain some artificial ingredients, it also contains natural flavors^[1]. Additionally, there are no flavors named "Artificial Fruit Punch," "Aspertame Orangeade," or "Artificial Strawberry Melon" ^[2].

Furthermore, the line which calls the Star Wars television advertisement "pathetic" is an opinion that should be excluded from an online encyclopedia.

I will not make the changes myself, since I work for PepsiCo, but I would like to request that someone does make these changes, in order to keep the article accurate and unbiased. --Scd269 (talk) 16:33, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

COI issues / promotional language

@Scd269: I closed your listing at the Dispute Resolution Noticeboard for inadequate talk page discussion, but when I saw your last edit of the page I note that it is very promotional in nature and adds elements which would appear to be subject to removal for undue weight. I have restored a prior version of the article for that reason. If you feel that there are errors or inaccuracies which need to be corrected in that version, let me recommend that you ask for assistance in editing the article, again admitting your conflict of interest, at the Conflict of Interest Noticeboard; while what you will find there are mostly complaints about editors who edit with a COI, one of the purposes of that board is to help editors with a COI edit in a manner consistent with Wikipedia policy. If you get no response there after a few days, consider making a request for help at Editor Assistance, but be sure put a note on your COI Noticeboard request that you are doing so. Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 15:19, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your help. I am new to Wikipedia, and I appreciate learning about the proper protocol. I will post on the COI noticeboard, as this reversion does have some errors. --Scd269 (talk) 15:43, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have a slightly different view - this talk page is the appropriate place to discuss the content of this article, as you have already done. Discussions should continue here. – ukexpat (talk) 16:11, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Is there another forum I can suggest the updates requested below, given that I have not heard a response on this talk page in 5 days? --Scd269 (talk) 14:15, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Requested edits

As I have noted ~~below~~ [above], I work for PepsiCo. I would like to provide clarification on several parts of this article. Please respond here or on my talk page if I can provide further information.

First, PepsiCo partners with Unilever, who owns the trademark Lipton, to manage Brisk^[1].

Here is a list of complete flavors^[2]. Please note that "mint" is not offered. Iced Tea with Lemon, Sweet Tea, Iced Tea with Lemonade, Iced Tea with Raspberry, Green Tea with Peach, Green Tea with Mango Dragonfruit (This had a limited edition can in conjunction with Green Lantern, but is not a limited edition flavor.), Fusion White Tea Pink Lemonade, No Calorie Iced Tea with Lemon, Fruit Punch, Lemonade, No Calorie Lemonade, Orangeade, Sugar Free Orangeade, Strawberry Melon, and Pink Lemonade.

Next, Brisk has iced tea drinks in addition to juice flavored drinks. The tea uses instant tea and natural flavors as listed, but I want to clarify that not all Brisk drinks have instant tea^[3].

I feel the comment about lowering prices in order to compete with Arizona Beverage Company is unsubstantiated and should be removed unless a reliable source can be provided.

Finally, I do think that many of the updates I added in my last edit were helpful in providing an overview of the Lipton Brisk brand. They did not all elaborate on the product itself; instead, they detailed some of the marketing efforts that Brisk has become known for. Brisk brand is used as a case study because of its unique marketing, such as its blend of traditional marketing and properties with social media use and viral ads. I understand Wikipedia should not have a promotional tone, so I would appreciate if a neutral editor would consider looking at the content and sources I used in my last edit in order to decide if anything might be included.

Variates

Should the Variates section be removed until the chart is actually filled in? -KaJunl (talk) 03:46, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

looks like someone edited this, thanks -KaJunl (talk) 17:34, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Current flavors as of 2024. Iced teas; blueberry pomegranate, blood orange, lemon, strawberry melon, blackberry smash, sweet tea, raspberry, and peach.
