(Untitled)[edit]

The description of the advert has been put under the advertising heading. I can't really see how it was advertising the product though. It was just factual information. --Blackleg 17:29, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Somebody should mention in the article that the ingredients list consistently lists Peperami as having 114% pork. Da niel (‽) 19:25, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On some labels, there is "97% pork", and on others, "101% pork". Strange! --LBM 17:12, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On mine it's 108% pork. I think it's because when they dry out the pork it loses its overall mass so they add more, or something... Korinkami 10:28, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I've added something about it. If anyone can improve it, please do. Korinkami 10:41, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

145% pork, on the firestick I just ate. (ow! burny!) Xmoogle 14:44, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

original I just ate says 37.5g of pork for every 25g product, thats what...150%? (actualy yeah, 150, confirmed in ingredientss list) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.28.14.62 (talk) 00:24, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Peperami is important, just the other day someone in the Times (Caitlin Moran) said that Posh Spice looked like a human Pepperami

The quote is as follows

Since cancelling Christmas 2003 to frantically promote double A-side single Let Your Head Go/This Groove, yet still failing to get her much-coveted No 1 solo hit, Posh has abandoned pop to concentrate on what she does best. Just what that is she has yet to disclose, but in the meantime she has been constantly thin and brown and dressed in garish sheaths, much like a human Pepperami (The Times 2 by Caitlin Moran)

Page looks like an advert again:

Peperami is a pork sausage snack manufactured by Unilever. The product is marketed as The Spicy Meat Snack with the slogan "Peperami: It's a Bit of an Animal".

I think there is a legitimate case for Wikipedia to have an article on Pepperami - I got the page because I wanted to know what was on my pizza and I suspect that a detailed answer will be unpleasant - but we've got some kind of advert here.

Should this be reported as vandalism?

What are you on about? Peperami is a brand name for a spicy salami based snack food, I highly doubt it's on your pizza, I think you're confusing it with pepperoni JamesTheNumberless (talk) 11:34, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Beef?[edit]

Now I may be imagining this, or it may be that I'm thinking of a different but similar supermarket product, but didn't peperami originally contain 50% pork and 50% beef? Also, wasn't it originally advertised (in the UK) by a man feeding it to a tank of piranhas and/or a venus fly trap? (the tagline was something like, "meat lovers love peperami") I seem to remember all of this from some time in the 80s or early 90s, then 5 or 6 years with no real advertising presence folowed by the "it's a bit of an animal" adverts and a re-emergance of peperami as an all pork sausage... Wasn't the original packaging also kind of mottled rather than shiny green? JamesTheNumberless (talk) 11:45, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure about the other points, but I seem to remember the adverts you're on about, yeah. Paul E Nolan (talk) 05:31, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The adverts you were talking about (2 years ago!) were aired 87-92. The venus fly trap: 1989. The slogan was "Get your teeth into a peperami" but the packaging wasn't mottled, it was green - always was. Infact it was the packaging they used then that was the packaging intill about 1998. YouTube them - that is if you're still on this page after 2 years--92.237.88.53 (talk) 19:33, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal[edit]

I propose to merge the articles Peperami and BiFi (snack). Both lemmata seem to describe the same thing, as imho both map to the same product line by Unilever that is marketed under different names in different markets. --Abdull (talk) 09:26, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, after all Pepperami is basically just the UK version of BiFi. It makes sense to just have a BiFi section in the article (since this is the English language wikipedia). Perhaps the German BiFi article mentions Peperami? eyeball226 (talk) 18:25, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I was right! To quote the German article, "Inzwischen gibt es BiFi auch in Österreich, der Schweiz, Belgien, Luxemburg (wird von umliegenden Ländern beliefert), und den Niederlanden sowie England (dort unter dem Namen Peperami)." I think this information could be used in the article. It does seem to treat Peperami as if it's unique to the UK which it most certainly isn't. eyeball226 (talk) 18:29, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I vote against as two are different seperate. They aren't even the same. I think the BiFi is beef whilst peperami is meat. It's not like the two are connected in away apart from Unilever.--77.99.231.37 (talk) 19:21, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I also vote against the merge. Firstly BiFi is beef and not Pork and the only things linking the two products is the fact they are both owned by Unilever and look fairly similar. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jitjdc (talk • contribs) 18:35, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I vote against the merge. They have different ingredients. And yes, they are both Unilever, and similar packaging (Peperami's Green - BiFi's orange). When's the final decisions--92.237.88.53 (talk) 19:36, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

interesting kinds of meat[edit]

Peperami may be interpreted as a portmanteau of the words "pepperoni" and "salami", but the company does not want the product to be misunderstood as a combination of these different meats

Erm, perhaps this needs some rewrite? (source would be nice also) 212.90.151.90 (talk) 11:37, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
