Talk:Midori (liqueur)

Is the bottle mostly empty or slightly full?

Anyone got a picture of a bottle that isn't empty? --StarChaser Tyger 05:10, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

"rarely consumed by itself"?

"As it is extremely sweet, Midori is rarely consumed by itself"
Really? That strikes me as somewhat surprising. Nearly all liqueurs are pretty sweet, and many of them are drunk straight. I know that mixed drinks containing midori are popular, but that's a far cry from saying that drinking it straight is 'rare'.
(Oh, and since I'm commenting anyways, I'll also mention this: I actually like the picture as it is, since it clearly shows that the green colour is from the liquid itself, rather than a green bottle.) 209.90.134.251 (talk) 21:45, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Midori is not exclusively made in Mexico

The Midori history page cited in the current article: http://www.midori-world.com/history.html advises "1987: production started in Mexico" BUT ALSO "2003: Production started in France" AND "1978: MIDORI was launched US by Suntory(Production started in Japan)".

The article fails to mention production in France and makes the unsourced statement that the commencement of production in Mexico replaced Japanese production of the product. I highly doubt that Japanese production has ceased not least because I am currently drinking premixed "Illusions" from Suntory Australia Pty Ltd which are labelled as having the following contents: "carbonated water, sugar, midori liquer (19%) (imported from Japan), vodka (1.0%), pineapple juice from concentrate (0.5%), food acid (330), flavours, colours (133, 102), preservative (211)" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.242.17.174 (talk) 04:27, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

I have updated the article accordingly, in in doing so removed the 'citation needed' that I had added to the assertion that the beverage was now exclusively produced in Mexico. I feel the existing article sources support this change. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.242.17.174 (talk) 04:32, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

In Popular Culture

Should it be mentioned that Peter Vincent in the remake of Fright Night is always blind drunk on the stuff? 110.174.91.113 (talk) 16:39, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

Also, The Magicians (U.S. TV series) described the taste of Midori as "melon, crossed with perfume, crossed with ass." [1] I had never heard of the stuff previously ... honestly, I'd want to add it if I thought it was an accurate description, as biased and OR as that may be. What do you think?

Let's keep this trivia out of the encyclopedia; see WP:IINFO. --Zefr (talk) 00:25, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

Can't Access Source 3

I have tried to access source 3 on the wayback machine (https://web.archive.org/web/20130901000000*/http://www.midori-world.com/product/history.html) however I cannot get past the age gate to confirm that anything related to source 3 (the entire history tab). While the person who made the edit may have seen that page, I cannot get past the age gate. I have tried a number of different ages and regions on the site, but I have been unable to get past it (constantly getting HTTP error 302,301, etc). While the information provided may be accurate, I cannot confirm it. Should it be removed? 182.239.163.159 (talk) 17:57, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
