1[edit]

The Galbiso story may account for the nation-wide craze during the 90's, but as a child in Hawaii, I clearly remember a period in the late 80's when milkcaps and Pogs were very popular. My father, who also was born and grew up in Hawaii, knew all about milkcap games, tho I don't know if the term "pogs" exisited in his day. So, I'm not sure if it is correct to assume that Galbiso is the originator of the pog game, as is infered by the article previously. -thirashima

Is Hawaiian milk magic? Everywhere else, the cream is at the top.

The Poglodyte is native to Bellevue[edit]

The text says "The Poglodyte is native to Bellevue." What does this mean? Searching the internet, I find copies of this WP article. I also find "The Poglodyte jest macierzystego do Bellevue" and "La Poglodito estas apartenanta al Bellevue", which I am guessing are also this same sentence. What does this mean? Which Bellevue? WP does not list a Bellevue, HI. Randall Bart Talk 19:13, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Removed. Was added in this revision. Probably vandalism. Ibadibam (talk) 18:29, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Food and drink discussion[edit]

It's a real product, but probably not notable in its own right. Merge to Pogs? Ibadibam (talk) 20:39, 21 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'd agree with Ibadibam, look to merge it to pogs. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 20:54, 21 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Are there actually sources for the pog assertions? I haven't looked yet to see if it's covered in pogs. I'm thinking a merge to Meadow Gold Dairy or Meadow Gold Dairies would be better. Unfortunately neither exists as an article (one is a redirect). I have to sort through if it's all the same company but it seems to be fairly notable in Hawaii with a mascot and more than 100 year history if what I was correct. Anyway, I will try to dig in more when I get a chance. Any additional input, suggestions, or objections are most welcome. I just stumbled on the subject and agree that is doesn't seem appropriate as a stand-alone. But I haven't had a chance to look into in depth yet.

I'm sorry, but this discussion is absurd. Pog is a real, notable drink and we do not perform a cut and paste merge on any article that has been stable for 10 years into a new article without moving it to the new title to preserve the article history. The question of whether this topic deserves its own article or under another name has never been discussed on the talk page of the article, nor have other projects been notified of this change. There is absolutely no such thing as a "bold merge" which deletes the article history. I will be undoing this change immediately, and anyone who is interested in discussing it can use the article talk page like you are supposed to do. Viriditas (talk) 01:00, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If it's a notable subject and you want it kept as an independent article you need to add citations. The bold merge policy, including a discussion of bold merges, is clearly stated at wp:merge. Candleabracadabra (talk) 10:13, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Pog is gone[edit]

Their website no longer lists the product. The Mo-Ja'al (talk) 05:04, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
