Corporate Structure

Where, if at all does Callard&Bowser-Suchard fit into Wrigleys and where should it go on the page? http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Callard_%26_Bowser-Suchard

Rename

Perhaps it should be renamed to Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company, William Wrigley Jr. Company, or William Wrigley Junior Company.--Jerryseinfeld 03:02, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Orbit

This brand has been produced in the UK since at least the early 90's. Are all those dates the introduction of the brands to the US or something? --Zilog Jones 21:32, 13 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Aluminum wrappers

Dumb question, but I'm dying to know why Wrigley's uses aluminum in gum wrappers? Anyone know?

Why no list of european wrigley products?????

There are many more different ones in the UK inlcuding 'Extra ice'

Other Products

I don't know where this is produced so I don't know where to put it, but we have ["Extra Drops" in Australia]. These should be included, but do they go under the US or the UK header? DanielBC 06:19, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Wrighly, I just saw your commercial for orbit gum on TV. I am appauled. It shows a man completely buried in the sand on a beach up to his neck, while his friend throws sand in his face. I'm certain you are familiar! Don't you know that children try these things? Children, teenagers, anyone can be and have been buried alive innocently playing in sand at the beach. Certainly you can think up something better than this. By the way, Beaman's was my favorite. Smarten Up. Don't encourage tragedy at someplace as fun, peaceful and relaxing as at the beach.

I double dog dare you to respond!

Inappropriate addition?

This edit has been restore after I removed it as boosterism. The IP address that added it (195.216.25.222 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)), along with Ellielancaster (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) appear to be editing as part of a campaign by Wrigley's to promote the health benefits of chewing gum - a benefit that WikiProject Dentistry seemed to think was rather more limited than some of their edits implied.

I believe this edit is an inappropriate use of Wikipedia as a platform to promote a POV by selective use of research and by according undue weight to it. I believe that we should not be covering this effort of Wrigley's in this article unless significant other publications think Wrigley's efforts in this area are worth commenting on. Certainly the entry as it stands is inappropriate. Since I've been reverted and do not wish to edit war I thought I' bring it to the talk page to develop a consensus. -- Siobhan Hansa 14:50, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with everything you said both here and on the COI Noticeboard. It is a blatant advert, so I have reverted it. - X201

Candystand Article?

I think we need to make a Candystand article. So, someone get on it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.10.137.240 (talk) 00:53, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

History?

This company is what--a hundred years old? And there's no History section in it? Needs one. Unschool (talk) 17:03, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Q:Is there anything from pork in orbit chewing gum?

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Move. Jafeluv (talk) 11:25, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company → Wrigley Company — The idea to move this article was brought up at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2010 May 21#Category:Wrigley Company. The reason was that people thought the names of the category and its main article should match. Someone mentioned also that "Wrigley Company" seems to be a preferred name in the company's publications and that 'Wm.' in the title is weird. Another contributor mentioned that the other articles in the category follow the 'Wrigley X' pattern, e.g. Wrigley Building, Wrigley Field, Wrigley brands. delldot ∇. 16:51, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support page move, as one of the folks who favored that idea at the CfD discussion. --Orlady (talk) 17:55, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Removed, seems quite biased

The following from Revision 20:09, 18 May 2016 by SLHardinger10:

He became known in the subsequent years as an early supporter of employee rights as well as a believer in the power of advertising (including organizing the first direct-marketing campaign in American history), which he molded the business's strategy around. <ref name="heritage" />

Reinforced by the official website only, it looks like blatant Conflict of interest editing. A official website is for promoting a company, brand, and products; not for getting history information. (See WP:QUESTIONABLE) I see seven more references to the website. I'd say remove them and research for more reliable sources. Wikipedia is not a PR site for companies such as Wrigley Company. Devilmanozzy (talk) 09:03, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company" had registered an unknown trade mark in the UK on 1876-01-03

This would make the establishment date incorrect and also not make sense with the date of William Wrigley Jr. birth. He would have been only 14 years old. This could mean there is an issue with either his birth date and/or the company's establishment and the identity founder.
