Talk:Ajax (cleaning product)

Encyclopedic?
The PD sheet warnings do not seem encyclopedic to me. -- Phuongj 02:24, 12 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I removed that. Pasting data sheets into an encyclopedia article isn't appropriate. --Delirium 02:16, 26 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Is it appropriate to write articles on individual, branded products at all? Would this information not be more appropriate in a generic article on powdered cleansers? 71.198.65.9 00:47, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * "Floats the dirt, right down the drain/Bum-Bum-Bum-Bum-Bum-Bum-Bum". Is it just me or does anyone else get irrationally happy that there's a wikipedia entry with the phrase "Bum-Bum-Bum-Bum-Bum-Bum-Bum" in it. stib (talk) 03:06, 27 October 2010 (UTC)


 * As the jingle's only claim to notability was being the first TV jingle, and this was tagged as uncited for 19 months, I removed it. - Fayenatic (talk) 17:05, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

Cut speculative line
Removed this line:

The name Ajax may also reference an old British name for toilet, "the jakes".

The statement appears at 19 minutes into the program, which is on the web at http://www.dailymotion.com/video/k71HE5b6Ftsd4o3ry91. However, the speaker was not discussing the cleaning product; rather the topic was a Tudor-era flush toilet. --Bistropha (talk) 04:32, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

Stronger than dirt/grease
Was the original slogan not "Ajax - stronger than grease"? "Stronger than dirt" makes no sense in terms of classical mythology. 2A0A:A543:D6B3:0:B4A2:9A03:5BB4:E8EE (talk) 16:12, 17 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks for pointing this out. After some digging, I've expanded the section. Rupumped (talk) 20:32, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
