Copy paste?[edit]

Large parts of this page seem to be simply copied and pasted from Hershey's site. 76.232.9.101 (talk) 03:45, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is not much information on milk duds and it does seem that the information has been copied and pasted —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.56.55.200 (talk) 17:49, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can we add a section describing how difficult it is to eat these things? Even a brand new box @ 72 F is so hard to chew on without popping my jaw/risking pulling out a filling. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.196.196.167 (talk) 23:28, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I must be eating a different candy - the milk duds that I just ate were soft and chewy and sweet and tasty outside and in. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.158.48.16 (talk) 19:35, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Image[edit]

Being from the UK, I don't know what Milk Duds look like. This page has two images of the packaging, but not of a Milk Dud itself. Anyone wanna rectify that? JaffaCakeLover (talk) 21:11, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Emotive sentence[edit]

"Milk Dud's are an excellent source of Calcium,..." I think that this is advertising rather than fact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jordansmithnz (talk • contribs) 10:03, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Jargon in the lead[edit]

"Enrobed" seems like confectionary industry terminology and not appropriate for the lead where the common word "coated" would suffice. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.144.47.32 (talk) 20:50, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Compound chocolate?[edit]

Can the new vegetable oil-based coating be accurately described as compound chocolate, or is that a different product? 2601:644:101:9616:F09A:A480:DAA1:2E21 (talk) 20:04, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Uncited claim about naming?[edit]

Not only was I unable to find any mention of the name's origin on the Hershey's page, even using archive.org, I couldn't find a reliable citation anywhere for this information and it seems kind of like an urban myth. Is it uncited or am I just missing something? Goose121 (talk) 01:51, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And what the hell did they intend to call them in the first place if they'd succeeded in making them round? Milks? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FEA8:E320:3CD:80AD:56B5:4BB0:8C8C (talk) 04:25, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
