Manufacturing

"All Chiko Rolls are now manufactured in Bathurst, New South Wales, Australia, on a specifically designed machine that produces the pastry and filling at the same time in long rolls. They are then automatically sliced and then the distinctive ends are folded."

The ends have never looked "folded". This comment needs to be supported with evidence if things have changed since I last ate one. All images I can find online show no folded ends. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thundergod (talk • contribs) 03:35, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

sexual wording

Though the advertising posters for Chiko Rolls are clearly sexual in nature, this bit about the slogan seems to be highly questionable and full of conjecture and opinion:

"In colloquial Australian English, this slogan is highly sexual. "To go..." is a euphemism meaning to "have sexual intercourse with..."; a "chick" is American slang for young female, which has been altered by the Australian slang diminutive suffix "-o"; a "roll" is also a euphemism for sexual intercourse (an abbreviation for "a roll in the hay", and also descriptive slang)."

I disagree with the claims about "to go" as being sexual. If anything, the main alternate meaning means to engage in fistcuffs with. The bit about chick and -o is ridiculous; since when was -o appended to words that are already well-known American slang, and what new meaning does this create? The bit about "roll" is even more laughable. Moreover, some parts of what is claimed as sexual in the slogan is not the slogan at all but in fact the product name, the origins of which are already described and which seem totally feasible as they are. I've deleyed it. MinorEdit June 28, 2005 09:10 (UTC)

You should of seen it earlier.. [1] :) *shakes head*, their was two whole paragraphs on it, not one sentence - UnlimitedAccess 19:53, 10 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

If I'm out with friends and say "I could go a Big Mac right now", it's exactly the same as "I have a strong craving to consume a Big Mac at this time". You're way off.

Time travelling Chiko Rolls

"Since the 1940s" they used a woman on a motorbike in their advertising? Didn't the previous paragraph say they were first invented in 1951? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.154.85.2 (talk) 01:23, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hand Model

The claim that the "The longest running hand model for Chiko Rolls was William Murtagh." seems (a) irrelevant and (b) based on a page filled with inside jokes and exaggerations. I think it should be culled. OddThinking (talk) 22:33, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Doctorhawkes (talk) 04:13, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Australian politics

A good-natured "stoush" amongst the parliamentary members for Bathurst, Wagga, and Bendigo got widespread news coverage last September. (This ABC News article also has links to coverage in Murdock and Fairfax publications.) Though maybe a brief 15 seconds of fame for the venerable Chiko, is getting a mention in Parliament noteworthy enough for inclusion here? I was going to add a paragraph but was had some dificulty with how to phrase it. Might have another crack later.
