Picture removal[edit]

I removed this picture from the page. Since it's an amateur photograph, it's too self-promotional and unencyclopedic, equivalent to an American holding up a Budweiser and taking a picture of himself. 24.199.113.215 09:10, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The champagne of advertising[edit]

No mention of "The champagne of ginger ales." slogan? I recall it was in the '70s sometime. Trekphiler 09:29, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- It still says that on some bottles and cases I'm pretty sure. I'm not sure if it's on all of their products, but I've definately seen it around far more recent than the 70's (I wasn't even born then). I'm in Canada though so maybe they dropped that slogan elsewhere.

I found the slogan on the Farsi Wikipedia version of this page Gee totes (talk) 19:05, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Jenga Refrence[edit]

The Jenga reference to being able to play much better with ginger ale doesn't seem all that scientifically sound, we really should have at least a reference before we include that.Starmurderer (talk) 21:05, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

removed sentence[edit]

"In 1934, it was one of the first society to give comic books (a very recent creation of Max Gaines) as a free gift to appeal people.^[1]"

- If this sentence makes sense to you, please, feel free to stick it back in. (with an explanation) - ^theWOLFchild 03:30, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
