Correct name

Add to that the fact that the confection's name comes from one of the Spanish words for rock (roca) and it's clear that the correct spelling is Almond roca. | Klaw ¡digame! 03:16, 27 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

The problem is, though, that if the spelling is 'Almond roca' then it would not make sense for Sharon Rocha to be named after it. Since she actually was, this proves to us without a doubt that the correct name is 'Almond rocha'. Let's get this fixed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.160.180.50 (talk • contribs) 08:13, 28 February 2006.

This does not prove anything beyond doubt. Just because she spells her name as 'Rocha' does not mean that the correct form of the candy name is 'roca'. They are phoenetically identical and her parents (or whoever filled out the birth certificate) could have easily slipped in the offending 'h'. 23:57, —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.57.99.188 (talk • contribs). 1 April 2006 (UTC)

In my opinion, there is no such thing as "Almond Rocha" until found otherwise on a candy package. The logic that creates this from Sharon's name is not unlike stating that because someone was names "Lunden Bridge" that "London Bridge" can be alternatively spelled in this way. I live near the makers of "Almond Roca" in the United States and have never seen anyone spell it any other way. (I'll also make a point of getting some pictures and details for this pitiful stub.) --DigitalGadget 23:06, 6 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Almond Roca/roca

Latest comment: 15 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The Almond roca (with a lowercase R) page was deleted due to blatent adverts, but since Roca is a disambig and redirects to toffee, I added an other uses mentioning the toffee and a redirect to it from Almond roca; Almond roca would just be a stub if it was a stand-alone article, and is mentioned inside of the toffee article. Another option would be a disambig for the company and the confection... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Irontobias (talk • contribs) 05:34, 4 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
