Promotional, no independent sources in the article, a Google search found only blogs and press releases. There's just not enough coverage to meet WP:GNG. Howicus (Did I mess up?) 23:35, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
- Update: Nonsenseferret on IRC did find
this, but I don't think it's enough to pass GNG.

- Nomination Withdrawn The sources found by Valfontis have me convinced that this probably does meet GNG after all. Howicus (Did I mess up?) 19:37, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

Mergeselectively to Leaf Brands, which appears to be the present owner of the brand. Some sources are out there, such as [1], [2], [3], but the depth of coverage does not appear to be enough to support a standalone article. NorthAmerica 1000 09:46, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
- Now undecided: struck my !vote above. NorthAmerica 1000 13:05, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
- Keep I've cleaned up the article and added several independent sources and the negative info linked above (lawsuit). Brand appears notable as an example of the current trend of " brand revival", and was the first product mentioned in article about the topic in the Wall Street Journal. It also strikes me as odd that this product would the namesake for a cocktail that has an article, but not have an article itself. It took some diligence to find sources among all the candy and nostalgia blogs and candy store sites. Since this is an old brand there may also be some "Can't Find It On The Internet" bias. I haven't had a chance to check any library archives. Valfontis ( talk) 04:08, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
