Talk:Fuze Beverage

Rewritten

• Can someone have another look? I think I've eliminated the marketing jargon while adding sales figures, acquisition value and numerous citations.Lmb1962 (talk) 17:30, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

• I just rewrote this page. It was one big advertisement for the product and had taken some hits from vandalism. It should be expanded more, and although I may have deleted some content that would be appropriate for that, let's not add it back unless we can source it, given the vandalism and spam that's happened to this page. -Duplico 18:55, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

• I deleted an explanation of the change to PET bottles that is misleading and seemed to be directly quoted from a press release -- the statement that PET is a "better candidate" for recycling than glass is disputable if not irresponsible. The article continues to lack appropriate neutrality, containing industry jargon and marketing language. -Ed416 15:45, 15 Sept 2009 (UTC)

Removed Advertisement

• I deleted the sections contributed by AlphaJaguar5. The user's contributions made the article look like a big advertisement. Omjeremy (talk) 03:17, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

• Sorry, I did not mean for it to sound like a giant ad. I got most of that stuff from their website so I guess I can see it having language like an ad. Thanks for clearing it up for me. --AlphaJaguar5 (talk) 00:21, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Neutrality

This article still, in my opinion, is not neutral. Phrases like "their contemporary product class and nutrient provision" and "experienced in the beverage industry for over 20 years" sound like they came directly from a marketing department. Jonah (talk) 04:29, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

The article is now much better with the recent revisions. Opinions have been validated from sources. User:FoodieUSA

I've made more improvements - enough to remove the NPOV tag, I believe. JoeSperrazza (talk) 03:55, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Bad Link

Link six to the fuze settlement page is dead. NoFearDJB (talk) 22:33, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Also, brands sold in Canada are sweetened with sucralose, as opposed to the crystallized fructose. Can we check to see if this is a recent switch? Do USA beverages continue to use the original sweetener? CivEngAlyssa (talk) 18:17, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

Pronunciation

There are occasional edits (mostly by anonymous IPs, but most recently from a freshly registered account) that change the pronunciation noted for the brand.

Assuming good faith regarding these edits, here's at least one source on the pronunciation - the brand's FaceBook page: "Fuze Beverage, commercially referred to as just Fuze (pronunciation: fyooz), is a manufacturer of teas and non-carbonated fruit drinks enriched with vitamins".

Side Effects

The sources in the side effect section were either missing or did not support the statements. I removed them as pretty blatant WP:OR. JoeSperrazza (talk) 18:29, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Medicinal?

Vitamins are NOT medicine. remove the reference that makes the claim. there is no "medicinal" portion on the label. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Decyrano (talk • contribs) 21:02, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the note. You could have made the change yourself, of course, but I went ahead and removed the following as unsourced as well as, to the best I could tell, untrue:

While Fuze beverage bottles give precise detail regarding the amounts of medicinal ingredients (vitamins and minerals) in the product, there is no such information regarding the amount of fruit juice and puree components or sugars.
