Names[edit]

§ History says, in the second paragraph:

The name, "Persil", is derived from two of the original ingredients, sodium perborate and silicate. The original name was deemed unsuitable as an international brand because it is hard to pronounce in some languages.

But we are never told what the original name was. That would be a relevant and significant fact in the history of the product. Thnidu (talk) 18:24, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Just sloppy writing. They meant to say that the name Persil wasn't used in some countries. --Espoo (talk) 23:43, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

German pronunciation?[edit]

In English-speaking Europe (Ireland and Britain), Persil is pronounced PER-sill, with the stress placed on the first syllable, but per-SILL in United States television advertisements, with the stress applied to the second syllable. What is the original German pronunciation? Knowing this could help to resolve the transatlantic conflict. O'Dea (talk) 01:23, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The original German pronunciation has the stress applied to the second syllable with along i (perzeal or perzeel). 2003:DA:9712:4E04:49A8:29A4:AF13:E0E1 (talk) 21:11, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
