Talk:Pineapple lumps

Untitled

Has anyone ever tried these?? The most recent edit is factually inaccurate; pineapple lumps are in no way "pleasantly flavored." They're utterly horrid things. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.247.248.163 (talk) 07:09, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

I agree! They're nasty, nasty 'orrble things. But I don't think opinions about the unpleasant taste of sweets has much of a place in an enclyclopedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.54.238.178 (talk) 06:44, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

I have just spoke with a young Kiwi who assures me that "Pineapple Lumps are awesome!" 202.156.14.103 (talk) 10:27, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

Indeed they are, utterly, utterly delicious...the only problem with them is that once you start eating them, you can't stop until you die of sugar overdose! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.74.73.18 (talk) 07:22, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Not that this is a talk page, but just to clarify, like many products there are cheap and also nicer examples, depending on subjective taste of course. The cheaper ones can sometimes taste a bit like chewing an old lego block, but the nice ones imho are very nice indeed.Number36 (talk) 11:13, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Pineapple lumps → Pineapple Lumps – Article was moved in 2020 to "Pineapple lumps" (lowercase), with the reasoning Article is about pineapple lumps in general rather than a specific brand. The History section of this article describes the history of the Pascall brand. It even says Rainbow sells pineapple chunks under its own brand, signifying that the article is talking about Pascall's brand. —Panamitsu (talk) 10:13, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

• Oppose. While I can see that the two main brands of this are called Pineapple Lumps and Pineapple Chunks, I agree with the 2020 mover that this article is about the generic product rather than either of the two brands. Furthermore, the lowercase version is found in lots of sources, e.g. [1][2][3] so it's not like we're making something up, and it can be accepted as a common noun under MOS:CAPS. I think the status quo is fine.  — Amakuru (talk) 11:23, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
• Oppose per Amakuru. It's about the generic, sold under various brands at different times by different companies. Dicklyon (talk) 11:16, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
• Support Current title implies the article is about pineapple. As a form of candy, it is a proper name. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 15:44, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

  Er... no, it doesn't imply that. And it's not a proper name, at least not exclusively, it's the generic name for a "form of candy".  — Amakuru (talk) 15:49, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
