Hello fellow Wikipedians,

False information

edit

The 'Funpals' topic is based on complete fiction from the very first line. First of all, there are print ads and at least one commercial showing that the product was introduced no later than 1984. Funpals were made by Union Underwear/Fruit of the Loom themselves, therefore they were never to "compete" with their other brand of character underwear, "Underoos". I'm not very experienced with Wikipedia but anyone willing to spend a few minutes research time on the web can easily correct at least these two lies. Thanks.

Incidentally, the product that Funpals were actually meant to compete with, Hanes' "Showtoons" have a similarly falsehood-laden page here. Those were introduced before Funpals at least by 1983 as there are print ads for them with that copyright year. The current information is based solely on trademark dates which apparently means nothing about when a product was introduced to the market. Perhaps they were too stupid to trademark the name until years later. 2600:8803:7680:3460:4956:188F:CA1A:2B18 (talk) 03:14, 15 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
