Edit request from Redvines34, 29 November 2010

{{edit semi-protected}} Red Vines are Ron Weasley and Harry Potter's favorite candy.

Redvines34 (talk) 15:19, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. That is not relevant to the article. Deli nk (talk) 15:24, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think this is relevent, as it shows the prominence of Red Vines in popular culture. A Very Potter Musical is an interpretation of Harry Potter with millions of views on youtube and thus a strong influence on many consumers all around the world. It's silly to ignore something of this importance in an article that, just now, is merely a stub. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.113.237.154 (talk) 03:48, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request from Nikimad456, 27 February 2011

{{edit semi-protected}} Please can you add: Red Vines are also the favourite food of Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley, and have been given the now world-famous catchphrase "Red Vines. What The Hell Can't They Do?"

This is relevant because it shows their celebrity endorsement, and their effect on modern society. Also, this has been a massive form of advertising for the company. Nikimad456 (talk) 13:51, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In which of the Harry Potter books or movies does this appear as a celebrity endorsement? 71.185.49.174 (talk) 21:45, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Even if this were true, we would only include it in the article if reliable sources discussed this as being an important or influential advertising campaign. But I'm inclined to think this is a hoax, as I sincerely doubt that Rowling wrote or endorsed the phrase "What the Hell Can't They Do?" Qwyrxian (talk) 15:28, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

` In A Very Potter Musical they were the favourite food of Harry Potter and Ron Weasly with the catchphrase Red Vines, what the hell can't they do. It is also their favourite Amiee manns song, favourite coloured vine other than green and favourite way to say red wine in a German accent — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.184.197.23 (talk) 20:18, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Red Vines is a brand of candy manufactured in Union City, California by the American Licorice Company. Red Vines Original Red twists, are also sometimes referred to as red licorice. The original Red Vines were raspberry-flavored, but in 1952, with a slight formula change, the Red Vines Original Red Twist flavor was introduced. Red Vines Red Twists appear very similar to Twizzlers candy. Red Vines are also noted to be the main snack of Ronald Weasley and are highly favoured by Harry Potter.

Not done, the musical has no connection to the actual harry potter, and even if it did, it would be minor trivia anyway--Jac16888 ^Talk 17:13, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ron's love of Redvines in a very potter musical should be added to this article.

Edit request for Red vines.

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Can someone please edit the Red vines page for me? I can assure you it would be much appreciated. I would like to submit that you write "Red vines are totally awesome". The reason for this is in the fan made musical "A Very Potter Musical" the characters Ron Weasley played by Joey Richter and Harry Potter played by Darren Criss love the candy twists, and the phrase "totally awesome" is used throughout the musical and sequel and is widely known and associated with the musical. I would much appreciate this edit. Thank you. 86.182.208.123 (talk) 17:36, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. This suggestion has previously been rejected multiple times on this talk page. While a fan might appreciate a reference like that it would not be very encyclopedic, and even if the wording was changed it may still be considered too trivial.

Clarification on StarKid referencing

In short, this is an encyclopedia. As such, phrases such as "Red Vines: What the hell can't they do?" and "Red Vines are the favourite snack of Ron Weasley and Harry Potter" are inappropriate for this article.

However, due to the relationship between Red Vines and StarKid Productions (especially with pieces such as the fireside chat and Tasty Tests), I feel that there should be an encyclopedic mention in this article. Eladkse (talk) 09:26, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Twizzlers Comment

Is it really worth stating that "Red Vines appear very similar to Twizzlers"? Seems like a marketing statement more than useful information, especially as they don't look THAT similar, and there's no similar mention on the (somehow much more complete) Twizzlers page.
