Talk:Special K

Untitled

This article could probably benefit from an explanation of what the K in Special K stands for. I think that it's Kellogg's, but for all I know, it could be potassium. Any ideas? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.7.25.187 (talk) 21:07, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Does anyone remember Special K changing from something that wasn't flakes to flakes maybe around 1984 or so? I could be off, but I think I remember that from my childhood. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ddurham (talk • contribs) 03:00, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Yes - went from really nice little flakes to the 'original' large ones, before the most recent change to the horrible new 3-grain recipe!95.146.10.21 (talk) 21:56, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

Yes, Ddurham, I remember the truly original Special K that they had for years. I haven't been able to pinpoint the actual date they changed the formula, but 1984 sounds about right. Fortunately, Kellogg's still makes the original and far superior formula - in Canada! Whenever I go there, I always bring back a few boxes. If you have any friends in Canada, have them mail you a box. Gitanes26 (talk) 15:41, 2 October 2013 (UTC)== K? ==

Stuff and Nonsense

It's Not an Instruction Manual!+ its biased!

For additional snacks one may consume fruits and vegetables. Drinks may be consumed normally. Special K Chocolatey Delight has a chocolate flavor good for late night cravings Special K provides meal replacements in the form of Special K Protein Meal Bars and Special K Protein Shakes. (meal replacements such as this is disputed in terms of health) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Laheugan (talk • contribs) 13:59, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Sexist Cereal?

What in the hell is all that tripe at the beginning about a cereal/brand/company being "sexist"? Sounds a little bit non-NPOV to me...

Adverts

Is this the correct place to be discussing the adverts/weight loss promises of the Special K adverts? Pureferret (talk) 22:27, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Not outlawed in Denmark

'The country of Denmark has outlawed Kellogg's products since 2004'. So, all Kellogg's products are supposed to be outlawed in Denmark? Like the resent non-existing Danish Marmite ban, this is complete nonsense. They did require Kellogg's to stop adding vitamins, though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.162.195.251 (talk) 22:18, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

They were no longer allowed to put their normal recipe on the market as it is fortified with absurd and possibly dangerous amounts, like iron filings. So yes it was allowed and you can't buy it in Denmark. I see you are from Denmark. Maybe you should learn a bit more about your own country. In the rest of the world Denmark is 'famous' for outlawing heavily fortified products.--188.142.39.75 (talk) 02:37, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

Fibre content

It would be good if this article could include a section on the health benefits of this cereal. I have always understood that Special K is quite high in dietary fibre,and this could go in this section, or the section headed "Nutrition". ACEOREVIVED (talk) 20:39, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

UK flavours

Hello all! I checked the UK Special K website today and there seems to be a change in flavors. There are still ten listed, however Special K Fruit & Nut, Special K Strawberry Clusters, and Special K Honey Clusters have replaced some of the older flavors (I'm not sure if they've been discontinued, or are simply unlisted)

The Fruit & Nut was launched in Aug 2009, so this list should really be updated, no?

Hard fragments in Special K

I recently resumed eating this cereal after several years and found hard pieces (possibly fragments of raw rice). These may have caused damage to my teeth. I searched the web and found a Facebook thread (https://www.facebook.com/specialkus/posts/10151052411512553) discussing this from years ago. One person states that expensive dental work was needed.

Structure of article

The structure of this article is terrible. It seems to just be composed of various mini essays about topics related to the subject focusing on controversies as well as a summary of the product line as at 2015. The article needs to follow the standard historical structure, with subsections for non-chronological topics. Ashmoo (talk) 11:51, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

I think you may be correct. You are free either to go ahead and edit it or else create a separate proposal for what it should look like. You can tackle just part of the article or the entire thing, your choice. David Spector (talk) 13:16, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
