Talk:Tapioca pearl

Straight from the Marketing Department?

This "article" may have been inspired by a package insert from the product...Why does it exist, and is it Wiki quality?--75.164.155.194 (talk) 04:55, 23 July 2016 (UTC)

Yes, this seems to be the case, and the tone seems to be that of a cookbook, or a story (and does not go with the Manual of Style). The article should probably be rewritten to a more neutral tone.--learnergenius (talk) 01:11, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

Appropriate tag(s)

This page definitely needs a lot of work, but I don't know what tags are appropriate. I'm putting a general cleanup one, but feel free to delete it and replace with a more appropriate one.--learnergenius (talk) 03:37, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

History section is not about history

To me, the history section seems unorganized (a lot of random facts) and unscientific, and it relies on a lot of mediocre sources. In my opinion it deserves a rewrite. Nonoesimposible (talk) 19:42, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

• Rather than raw Google results (which are pretty indiscriminate), it would help if you gave examples of recent, reliable English-language sources (such as newspapers, media sites, published books, etc.) preferring "tapioca pearls" over "tapioca balls".
