Talk:Leaf International

Oak Leaf
The company Oak Leaf Confections has a historical connection to Leaf. The customer service rep at Oak Leaf told they were part of Leaf "way,way way back", but didn't know anything else. It would be good for the article if we could figure this out. ike9898 19:10, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

I don't think there was ever any connection between Leaf Brands and Oak Leaf Confections. My grandfater, Sol S. Leaf founded Leaf (named after his own last name) Candy and the logo was never an oak leaf shape. I can ask my father if there is any connection between the two companies, but he might not remember... munko57

Trading cards
Need much more about Leaf trading cards, and especially, some details of how it got split from the candy business. ike9898 19:37, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Beatrice
From what I have read, it looks like leaf didn't really aquire Beatrice Foods. Beatrice subject to a hostile buy out by firm that divided it up and sold the pieces (this part is easy to confirm). It looks to me like Leaf acquired a division of Beatrice or maybe just some of its brands. I am having trouble digging up the details on this. ike9898 15:49, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Info to incorporate
The Overland Candy Company introduced a malted milk candy product called Giants in 1939. In 1947, Overland merged with Chicago Biscuit Company, Leaf Gum and Leaf Machinery. Leaf Brands reintroduced malted milk balls in 1949 under the name of Whoppers. Today they are made by the Hershey Company. Whoppers were first sold unwrapped, two for one cent. After the creation of cellophane wrapping machines, smaller Whoppers were packaged in cellophane and sold five for one cent. These were called "Fivesomes." Soon after, Leaf introduced the first confectionery milk carton package. In the early 70s, different flavors were tried and sometime between 1949 and 1952 an egg-shaped Whopper was introduced for Easter.

Possible Cleanup
After making a lot of changes to the references, I can still see that a majority of this article are text on a list. It looks more like a timeline of actions which have happened in this company, which should be, in my opinion, be written as sentences.

Not only that, but a lot of things seem to be about sepreated issues related to the company's history, and not really mentioning a lot about it's role in candy business. I think there should be some information about Leaf's present role, rather than just having a lot of lines about the history.

There could be other ways on how to make a nice cleanup onto this article. Any ideas? ~IS7 19:49, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Globalize it
This article is all USA nothing Finland despite Leaf being owned by Huhtamäki for ages, to the point where it was a major thing back in elementary. Plus, it doesn't even mention Jenkki? Jesus Christ, this article is in a sorry state. Could someone run a VFD on it so that someone with a) knowledge (I was too young to be clear) and b) patience (as if I had that on Wikipedia) could start from a clean state?

This article wouldn't suffer one tiny bit from a complete blank. 62.106.50.6 (talk) 18:34, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
