Poor article

This is quite a poor article, and should be a stub. It seems full stops are non existent. Also is there any backup for the claim that the Golliwogg was removed from Robertsons products because of racist undertones that surround such an image? Though I personally believe that it was removed because of the racist stigma attached to it, Robertsons, I've read actually removed it for other reasons, and not because of the protests people made. See [1]. RSieradzki 12:31, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Difficult one - if a company removed an advertising symbol because of accusations of racism, standard practice would be for the company to deny that this was the reason - that's public relations. Johncmullen1960 (talk) 09:50, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've put the full stops in! In practice most of the important content on the controversy is on the Golliwogg page - I have linked it. --Herby ^{talk thyme} 12:28, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pictures

This article would be greatly improved by photographs of some of the badges and figurines, and perhaps of jars with the old and new labels. --Doric Loon 10:10, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Racism Statement

I've changed "many people consider the Golly to be profoundly racist" to the somewhat less forthright "some people consider the Golly to be racist": my reasoning is that although "some" is still a weasel word it's not quite as bad as "many" which implies a certain quantity (although can anyone produce a non-weasel word version?), and that the word "profoundly" adds little to the statement while sounding a bit too emotive/non-NPOV to me. Hope people are okay with my change; I'm aware that whether or not the golly is racist is a controversial issue Lexy lexy (talk) 22:38, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Puffery plain and simple

" Premier is committed to the Robertson's Marmalade brand in the UK, and retains its successful jam, lemon curd, mincemeat and marmalade products outside the UK."

Just more company BS. Was this article written by a Premier employee??76.69.148.27 (talk) 21:44, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mincemeat

I have been using robertsons mincemeat for years but find the mincemeat now too runny more juice in then the fruit and suet so have been disappointed in this product preferring the cheaper brands that are thick. Robertson s brand name has always been the best but I m afraid not now. 194.207.130.68 (talk) 21:04, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
