Talk:Raisin bran

contributing

Hi, I am planning to add new subtopics to this page such as the manufacturers which produce raisin bran and a section about pop culture. Any thoughts?RaisinBrannen (talk) 14:57, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

different

Sultana Bran is a completely different product from Raisin Bran!!!!!203.94.143.9 22:09, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

I had a bowl of Sultana Bran in Australia that was exactly like the Raisin Bran I've had here in the US. Can you provide some info to support your claim that they are different? For instance, could it be a case similar to some candy bars where US Raisin Bran and non-US Sultana Bran are the same, but non-US Raisin Bran and non-US Sultana Bran are not the same? --Icarus 04:27, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Technically, they are the same. But I feel there is a deeper meaning to Sultana Bran than its outer appearance. Mezziekins 09:53, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Er, "technically", they are completely different. You're using the word "technically" wrong. From a taste point of view, they're the same - nobody would notice the difference. But technically, they're different types of plants. I've updated the article, in any case. --Dmd 13:53, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

The Simpsons

i cant quite remember what episode, but didn't the Raisin Bran mascot came out and said the quote, and Homer was running around in circles when the sun poured down the raisins? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.97.31.5 (talk) 22:58, 4 April 2007 (UTC).

When does Simpsons ever dispense so thoroughly with reality? That was Family Guy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.73.70.113 (talk) 03:45, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Page name

If a sysop (admin) could move this article to "Raisin bran" (decapping the "B" in "Bran"), that would be peachy. Rationale: per MoS. Qwerty (talk) 03:38, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Can this article be recast as Kellogg's Raisin Bran? There are many manufacturers of raisin bran, not just Kellogg's. Thanks for your consideration. IlliniNative (talk) 19:11, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

"Kellogg's Raisin Bran" vs. "raisin bran" vs. "Kellogg's Sultana Bran"

"Kellogg's Raisin Bran" and "Kellogg's Sultana Bran" are two products sold by Kellogg's. "Kellogg's Raisin Bran" is, undoubtedly, Kellogg's version of "raisin bran", the generic product.

We should not be using the three terms interchangeably. What someone says about, say, a "Big Mac" is not necessarily the same as what they would say about "cheeseburgers" in general.

This article is currently a short, messy mishmash of statements about all three: two specific, brand name products and the generic product. The article name, as noted above, is incorrect. If this article is to be about "Kellogg's Raisin Bran", it should be renamed Kellogg's Raisin Bran. If independent reliable sources state that "Kellogg's Sultana Bran" is simply a different name, we can discuss that in the article. If this article is meant to be about the generic product, it should be named "Raisin bran".

Sources will ultimately determine which articles we will have. Currently, we have four cited sources: 1) wisegeek.com - This article does not mention either brand or the generic. It has no place here. 2) 8th Circuit Court of Appeals - While the case is certainly relevant in either Raisin bran or Kellogg's Raisin Bran, this is a primary source. We need secondary coverage. 3) Washington Post - This article is possibly relevant for Kellogg's Raisin Bran. As I am currently not in my office, I cannot see the whole article to judge beyond that. 4) Sydney Morning Herald - This article mentions Sultana Bran in passing. It is, IMO, wholly inappropriate (from a WP:WEIGHT standpoint) in any of the proposed articles.

Long story short, our current sources suck.

For the moment, I am removing the name brand image. If no one else chips in, I'll simply see what sources I can find, edit the article appropriately and end up with 1, 2 or 3 articles. Thoughts, comments, concerns, etc. before I dig in? - SummerPhD^v2.0 18:54, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

Kellogg's Sultana Bran health star rating

For some time, the article stated, "Kellogg's Sultana Bran received four and a half stars out of five on the Australian Government's health star ratings system."

On 10 November 2017, FastFastEditor changed this to "...1.5 stars out of 5..." with the summary "The 4.5 star rating is for Mini-Wheats Little Bites Original and Chocolate, not Raisin Bran. Also, changed to figures for clarity."[1]

On 12 November 2017, an IP editor changed this back to "...4.5 out of 5..." with the summary "Fixed typo"[2]

The source cited: Han, Esther (20 April 2015). "Food health star ratings: Kellogg's reveals the cereal that gets 1.5 stars". The Sydney Morning Herald. says: "Sultana Bran® ★★★★☆". Based on other ratings, the hollow star seems to be half a star, as "Corn Flakes ★★★☆" is listed between cereals rated 4 and 3 stars. While the article does specifically state that Mini-Wheats Little Bites Original and Chocolate were 4.5 out of 5, I have no idea where FastFoodEditor sees Sultana Bran being given 1.5 out of 5. - SummerPhD^v2.0 22:05, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

Two Scoops claim

Kellogg's for a long time claimed to have "two scoops" of raisins in every box. Is there any validity to this claim? Is the size of a "scoop" defined, and does it apply to one particular box size? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1702:1D00:9A80:C0B8:DB23:20B4:51E7 (talk) 18:33, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
