The last paragraph here isnt much of an encyclopedia article entry, though true. Maybe it could be cleaned up.

The last 'graph at that time was begun by the revision of 15:33, 6 May 2007; at its most complete it read

As a kid growing up in the 1970's the candy was sort of a practical joke. You would ask another kid if they wanted a mint and give thm the Sen-Sen. Some would think of it as a sliver of soap as it had such a strange taste. For a tiny candy it has a powerful taste that in some ways is as much of a perfume as a mint. One little packet of these sold for approx 25 cents in those days. It is amazing to consider that this item was around at the turn of the century.

and it was removed 22:16, 4 August 2007 with the edit summary "An interesting personal reminiscence, but hardly encyclopedic".

I would say, rather, not encyclopedic as an observation by a WP editor or two, but certainly content worthy of editors' attention. If we can find content with a similar thrust, in the form of either a verifiable set of facts, or the reminiscences of a notably respected 1st-person commentator on the period, we should cite that as source in describing those facts or opinions.

Dutch Maisie

The currently final, nonsequitur, 'graph

"Dutch Maisie--her professional name--had no make-up on, and was dressed in black, and had eaten a pound of Sen-Sen to kill the gin on her breath"

appeared as the result of this 13 March 2014 series of presumably well-intentioned edits. Clearly the contributor didn't understand how we generate footnotes; further, while putting that quote in a "Notes" footnote (but preferably not a "References" one) wouldn't be clueless, i see no reason for pushing that detail out of the main stream of prose, and i'm moving the quoted material up to directly follow the mention of the work it is extracted from.
