Talk:Chocodile Twinkie

QUOTE: "The Chocodile is a Twinkie that is covered in chocolate..." Really? It has been awhile but I seem to remember Chocodiles being whiter and more like angelfood cake while Twinkies are yellow and more spongy. But it has been awhile... Jackbox1971 05:03, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

In the interests of science and furthering Wikipedia, I picked up a Chocodile at the grocery store today. The cake was quite spongy. The package states that it's a "Chocolate coated sponge cake with creamy filling." It looked to be somewhere between the traditional cake colors of yellow and white, but does contain FD&C Yellow 5 (and Red 40).

Now, where can I submit my receipt for reimbursement? ;) JordeeBec 21:04, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Was it Twinkyish or angel-foodish? I simply must know! Jackbox1971 04:53, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

More Twinkie-like. A little on the dry side. Definitely not the texture or crumb of angel food. Now you know. JordeeBec 19:35, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Unsourced comment

I removed the following from the article:

Also slang in britain for floating sewerage of the solid type

example "John was alarmed while swimming off skegness beach as a swarm of chocodiles floated past"

A quick search finds no sources or references to confirm this. It looks like scatalogical spam. JordeeBec 22:05, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Commercial Link

I removed the link to a website selling chocodiles since that really doesn't belong in Wikipedia. 74.62.162.153 (talk) 16:56, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Removal of cruft

I took away all the "popular culture references" as it served only to detract from the article as an encyclopedia entry. Somewhat has undone my edits. I'm making them again, as this person did not explain their actions and was operating without a username.Jimjamjak (talk) 12:12, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

More cruft - "Chocodiles in culture" etc. I'll remove it again. Unless directly relevant, these sections are generally just a means of turning any article into a long list of meaningless trivia.Jimjamjak (talk) 13:45, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

Removed line about thematics

It seemed unnecessary to say (paraphrased) "Although the words Chocodile and Crocodile sound alike, since the removal of Chauncey the Chocodile the snack food is no longer thematically linked to the reptile"

It just sort of said "Duh!" to me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.98.95.79 (talk) 23:22, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

This page is disappointing

I find this page lacking in content, and uninformative. Looking through this talk page, i find that some of the relevant information you guys have removed, is sorely missed. particularly cultural references, and any information at all about the reptile the name refers to. please reinstate it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.78.91.240 (talk) 10:31, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Agreed. Also, since Chocodiles are chocolate-covered Twinkies, this should be stated in the lead, as should be the fact that they're going to be discontinued. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.139.81.0 (talk) 22:47, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

Chocodiles are no longer made

page updated to reflect this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.58.47.102 (talk) 01:42, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
