I am fairly confident that this has not been discontinued http://www.cheerios.com/ourCereals/TeamCheerios/TeamCheerios_home.aspx —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.58.77.45 ( talk) 18:37, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
Does anyone else remember that Cheerios' slogan in the early 90s (maybe late 80s) was "The Unsinkable Taste of Cheerios" or something like that? I notice we have a huge gap in the slogan list after the 60s and am wondering if this can be added to fill part of it. But I can't remember clearly enough. Jwrosenzweig 16:00, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
The article says, 'In 2005, Cheerios was introduced to Australia through Nestle and has been marketed as a healthy cereal containing four whole grains; oats, wheat, corn and rice. It comes with the slogan "Four things are better than one." It is also marketed as "Four good reasons to love Cheerios." '
Cheerios in the US is well-known as an oat cereal, precluding the other three grains. However, one of the spinoffs (listed on the chart) is "Multi-Grain Cheerios," which indeed has all four grains. It isn't bad, actually, I've had it, but I wonder if General Mills and Nestlé introduced "Multi-Grain Cheerios" in Australia simply as "Cheerios?" That's the only way I can make sense of the slogans reported to be in use in OZ. Lord Geznikor 13:13, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
I saw an advertisement for it during American daytime network television on July 13, 2007. I also saw it during the local morning news in Vancouver, British Columbia on July 30, 2007 (which is today when I posted this note). That note of discontinuation may need to be deleted until confirmation. -— Preceding unsigned comment added by 154.5.181.164 ( talk)
Image:Wiki cheerios.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I do not think it is necessary to have five articles on Cheerios. One is sufficient 212.43.71.31 17:44, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
I don't think that the articles should be merged. Cheerios is a type of cereal and then the others are spinoff cereals. Its like tv shows: you have an article for the first show, and then articles for all the spinoffs 69.157.62.49 ( talk) 00:05, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

I have removed this text from the lead: " (They have also been referred to as torus-shaped. though the "'O' shape" is a better fit in the case, due to the marketing technique of the name "Cheerios" implying happy "O"s.) "
I think it is a mistake to just toss that off in the lead and then not explain it. Since this is a very new development, it probably doesn't belong in the lead at all, and to just throw it out there without explaining why the FDA made this rather odd decision seems like a disservice to readers of the article. It should probably have it's own section, it doesn't really fit with any of the current sections. Beeblebrox ( talk) 16:59, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
(Outdent) I'm actually fine with the section's wording, but as I said earlier, WP:LEAD requires that "the lead should be able to stand alone as a concise overview of the article. It should establish context, explain why the subject is interesting or notable, and summarize the most important points—including any notable controversies." The info really does need to be mentioned in the lead. Wikiwikikid ( talk) 14:47, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

I'm not expert but I'm fairly sure the fibre data, 4 grms = 2% of daily amount, is incorrect. I think the UK value is about 20 grms/day. That would mean 4grms = 20%. Robert Slack ( talk) 12:38, 16 July 2009 (UTC) |
