Talk:Pepperidge Farm

Slavery, Black Panthers, etc.

Please provide a source for these rather bizarre claims regarding slave plantations and funnelling money to the Black Panthers. If you can't, then leave it out. —Chowbok 01:53, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

According to the history on the Pepperidge farm website, the company dates to the 1930s and the original "Pepperidge farm" was in CT. Looks more like the material added was vandalism. --TeaDrinker 02:07, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Location

I could be wrong about this, but I think their headquarters are still in Norwalk and not Bloomfield, CT. I think they just have a kitchen or something in Bloomfield. -- HowardW Sept 17, 2006

Yah, I think they're still in Norwalk...I check each time I'm in the cookie aisle... TJ0513 02:40, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

The Pepperidge Farm corporate headquarters is still located in Norwalk, CT. The original plant on the same site is scheduled for demolition and a new plant has recently been constructed in Bloomfield, CT. I also edited the article to include the location of the 7 other plants. I don't have reliable public published sources for this information, but I work at Pepperidge Farm and will vouch for the locations.

whats the point of this article

This article is really, really padded. Worse, it is a near-identical copy of the company's website only without the detailed product descriptions and pictures. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.245.138.168 (talk) 06:06, 8 December 2006 (UTC).

Unless anyone objects, I'm going to just delete this ridiculously long, unencyclopedic list from the entry. "Do you remember a time when advertisements masqueraded as encyclopedia entries? Pepperidge Farms does." Brash 01:51, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Pepperidge Fahm remembahs! -Rolypolyman 07:59, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

OK, I was bold and deleted the list of products. Someone reverted my edit, so I was bold again. I don't see how the discontinued brands not being on the company website makes this list of products any more encyclopedic. I would advise anyone who wants to return this list to read WP:NOT.--Boffob (talk) 17:30, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Because it documents a history that will otherwise be lost forever when those who experienced it die. In 100 years nobody will ever know that Pepperidge Farm made an amazing line of croutons because people like you think that saving 200 bytes of server space is more important than documenting history. The article is not bloated by a simple list; people can recognize and scroll past lists quite easily if they're not interested. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.143.57.99 (talk) 01:13, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

Deleted the list of products

Really not sure why they were included in the first place. It is not wikipedias place to advertise every single product a business sells. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.169.202.194 (talk) 10:10, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Apparently, it's back, and yeah, it's really pointless. Huw Powell (talk) 23:50, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

And here I am a year later saying the same thing. I think I might be bold and delete the lists. Huw Powell (talk) 06:46, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Well, I dunno, I came here looking for information on the Lido cookie. Is it discontinued or not? If it is, why? If not, where can I find some? Does anyone else even remember them? I guess Wikipedia is NOT here to provide answers. Strange, 'cause I thought it was an encyclopedia. Silly me. -- Goueznou, 70.107.238.239 (talk) 20:59, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

I'm sorry - are you suggesting the place to find out whether or not you can get a kind of cookie anymore, is an encyclopedia?! Because yes, that would be a pretty silly thing to say.

Excuse me while I go look at The World Book, to find out when exactly the Blue Raspberry flavor of Icee was first introduced. CleverTitania (talk) 22:31, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

That's actually not what I suggested, as you can see if you actually look above and read my whole paragraph. Pepperidge Farm cookies are widely known, and an encyclopedia should have some information about them. For instance, who comes up with the names for the different varieties? Are they inspired by anything in particular? What impact have they had on popular culture? My initial questions were not out of line with these. -- Goueznou, 96.239.82.80 (talk) 21:32, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

Remembering?

Shouldn't there be something about "Pepperidge Farm remembers?" ChildofMidnight (talk) 19:35, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Five years later and anon agrees. --208.77.176.209 (talk) 19:24, 27 February 2014 (UTC) ... Multiple Anons 86.181.119.74 (talk) 21:34, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

I came here just for that, yes. I presume it was some kind of commercial on US TV? 2A00:23C6:3639:1701:D49A:1A5C:768E:2D96 (talk) 19:48, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

Know Your Meme explains the origins (including YouTube links), and yes: The origin of the meme is a series of TV commercials, followed (almost 20 years later) by a parody in “Family Guy”. --2001:9E8:255D:3D00:3736:1F2E:10BC:5802 (talk) 21:00, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

I just added a line referring to the ad campaign. It is odd that one of the more iconic ad campaigns of the 70s would be omitted. Someone with more knowledge of the company can provide sourcing. I think they won awards for it. One aspect of the campaign is it focused a lot on "how Grandma used to make food" nostalgia, which lost relevance over time as the people who would have existed in that era (pre-WWII) passed away and nostalgia for the 1920s and 1930s faded with them (by comparison, in made today the Pepperidge Farm Remembers campaign would have to focus on people in the 1970s and 1980s. Not the same. 2604:3D09:1F74:1C00:7994:F47A:17DA:9810 (talk) 15:19, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Better Logo

The logo currently in use has a white background and is cropped incorrectly. The logo does not appear correct in the infobox. Is it possible to upload a new one? The image would have to be 220px wide (the image size in an infobox) to constitute fair use, but hopefully having a cleaner logo will add to the appearance and content of the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mdajr (talk • contribs) 03:00, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

Another pop culture reference.

In the ending of 'Belly' by the band 'Cowboy Mouth' the narrator invites the notably chubby object of his affection to spend the night together 'chowing down on Pepperidge Farms' as it is her sizeable belly that he finds attractive. I don't know if the band is considered popular culture, so I shan't be the one to add this to the page. Can't seem to paste a link here to any sources... But a quick google of "cowboy mouth belly" will yield YouTube links and Lyric websites, should they be needed.

Slavery

I know there are claims on slavery for many chocolate products, but I am wondering if they use slaves to harvest the cacao. Pizza.on.donuts (talk) 00:35, 21 July 2017 (UTC)pizza.on.donuts

The picture for "milano chocolate" is just a milano cookie which is depicted right beside it Tofflenheim (talk) 19:12, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
