Neutrality & Competition

How is this page not neutral? Youngamerican 12:49, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'm with Youngamerican on this one. I really don't see how this violates the NPOV requirement. Generally the POV check (in contrast to the neutrality dispute template), is used only by the author of the article. TheRingess, if you think the article is not neutral, I would encourage you to make some small changes that would fix it or at least offer an explanation for why the article is non-neutral. In the meantime, I have removed the POV check. Also, I removed reference to the beverage being "extremely" popular in central Kentucky and how it "easily competes" with Coke and Pepsi. A quick look at the store shelves in this area would indicate that that's something of an exaggeration. Ale-8 has a committed (some would say cult) following, but it certainly isn't a great threat to the big two soft drink companies. --Tom Allen 13:35, 1 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Ale-8, being a ginger ale, competes with other ginger ales more readily than colas. It does enjoy more shelf space than Canada Dry in Lexington Kroger and Walmarts.
Uh, nah guys you are wrong. I live in the heart of Ale-8's sphere of popularity and Ale-8 sales here surely compete well with colas. I'm drinking one now lol. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.147.10.188 (talk) 06:47, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

eccentric old man?

"eccentric old man" -- not for most of his life, he wasn't.

NuGrape

A bit of looking around on the web indicates that the statement about Ale-8 "coming out with a grape soda called NuGrape" is wrong. Not only is there no information about the drink on Ale-8's website, NuGrape itself is owned by the Big Red company. I deleted the reference. - Agentseven (talk) 17:00, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
