Flavour change[edit]

The back of the packet I ate today would seem to indicate that Sizzling Bacon has now been replaced by Roast Chicken flavour. Loganberry 23:53, 24 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Finger food.[edit]

Maybe it would be worth mentioning the fun kids have by putting these hoops on the ends of their fingers before eating :-P. Or maybe that was just me... Bennity 01:43, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A little cleanup needed[edit]

From the article: "Hula Hoops are either known as crisps, potato snacks, or simply "those little round things that you can eat". Interesting to note that due to a legal battle with the makers of crisps, KP are no longer allowed to call their potato-based snack 'crisps', this led to the removal of KP's website whilst they make the necessary changes. So just to confirm, they aren't crisps, at all."

This is written in a rather unencyclopedic manner, and also seems unverifiable, as I don't think you can sue for the use of a slang term in your advertising. Perhaps someone could fix this up?

Copyvio tag[edit]

An enterprising anonymous editor decided to slap a copyvio tag on this article. There is no entry for the potato snack in question in the dictionary in question, even ignoring the fact that the article obviously isn't written in a style befitting a dictionary.

25-30 Hoops[edit]

Is this accurate? I'd say it's more like 35-40. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.147.234.163 (talk) 11:10, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
