This article claims Cream of Wheat is made from semolina. There is no reference for this, and the Cream of Wheat ingredients list does not mention semolina or durum, but says "Wheat Farina" which is made from wheat middlings, not specifically from durum wheat, and durum middlings are called semolina. Therefore, I'm removing the mention of semolina. --[[User:Ericjs|Ericjs]] ([[User talk:Ericjs|talk]]) 17:40, 18 October 2021 (UTC) |

Regional Preferences
Just wondering if there should be a mention of the U.S. regional preferences between Grits and Cream of Wheat. As I understand it, many people in the northern US eat Cream of Wheat and have never heard of Grits, and vice-versa. Wikilackey 02:49, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
Contradicts Uncle Ben's
One article says it was common practice to use African Amwericans as product mascots. Another says it was not. Statements in both articles are unreferenced.

using africanamericans as product mascots in that era
i agree with Roodog2k, African-americans were used vastly in that era (drawn mostly as Caracture-like), even the words Nigger and "negro" were used in some brands.
- This is corroborated by one of the references in this very article -- on the page http://www.ferris.edu/htmls/news/jimcrow/mammies/ under the heading Commercial Mammies. I am changing this article and removing all contradiction tags. Krychek 15:36, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
Just wondering if the term africanamerican was in use in 1895.Bettered (talk) 17:34, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
Image:Cream of Wheat 1895.jpg
The image Image:Cream of Wheat 1895.jpg is clearly a magazine advertisement, not a box, and has the look of ads from roughly 20 years later (could be a bit more) than the 1895 date suggested. (This is pretty obvious to anyone who has worked with materials from that era-- spend a few minutes looking at ads in magazines from the 1890s verses late 1910s if you wish confirmation.) I have asked for more details of the image source from the uploader on Commons, and have changed the caption here. -- Infrogmation 00:32, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
So is it Kraft or B&G?
Part of the article references that it is no longer manufactured or marketed by Kraft (and the FAQ link at the bottom of the article is broken.) So, should it be in category "Kraft Brands" if it was sold, as the article implies? 98.215.53.205 (talk) 17:05, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
- It's B&G. I have a box of Cream of Wheat; no Nabisco logo and the side panel says "B&G Foods, Inc." Unfortunately this probably qualifies as original research. Maybe scanning the box would count as a reference? But it's definitely B&G now and should probably be removed from Kraft Brands, if someone can find a reference. --99.152.134.154 (talk) 23:46, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
Where created.
This source shows that the cereal was created in a different mill. Which is correct? Vegaswikian (talk) 01:24, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
