Talk:Dutch Boy Paint

Untitled
This looks like self-aggrandising marketing twaddle.

Perhaps someone who knows how wikipedia works might consider nuking it (and 'dutch process paint' too).

'originated with two chemists in 16th century Holland', indeed. Truly, this informative gem of wisdom must be preserved for the ages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.168.174.180 (talk) 5 April 2006


 * Interestingly, the National Lead Company used to send small tins of "white lead" to schools to be used in art. They were meant to be passed out to the children, along with coloring cooks and such, to encourage the children to get their parents to buy the "Dutch Boy White Lead" as a base for their paints. This continued even after it was learned that lead caused damage. Worse yet was the lead candy dishes that teachers received, along with chocolates to place in them for the kids. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.50.46.125 (talk) 07:57, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Dutch
So, there is no information whatsoever on why it's called Dutch? And a logo of an Irish-American is no explanation. Seems like someone just deleted it all Bataaf van Oranje (talk) 23:01, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
 * It's not called "Dutch", it's called "Dutch Boy Paint". It means nothing. Drmies (talk) 17:55, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
 * How do you know it means nothing? It could well have been a marketing ploy based on association with Dutch cleanliness (cf. Old Dutch cleanser) or the Dutch masters.14:55, 10 February 2016 (UTC)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.53.191.77 (talk)
