Talk:Cup-a-Soup

What are the true origins of cup-a-soup?

Is the Dutch cup-a-soup the same as the British one? I read on the Dutch wikipedia article that it was created in 1974 by the Dutch soup company Royco, but on the article Batchelors I read that it was launched in 1972 by a British company. Was there a relation between Batchelors and Royco? SietskeEN 13:30, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

List of flavours

Five pages of article listing over a hundred soup flavours from around the world, with no sources, is WP:INDISCRIMINATE - the reader doesn't know if the list if complete, or up to date, or what the sections are necessarily talking about. What is a "Classic" flavour? What is a "Special", "Go!" or "High Veg" soup? Does the US only list five flavours because the product is less popular there, or is this an incomplete list? Does Australia have a wider range, or did we just have an enthusiastic Australian editor pass through here once?

This kind of information "should be put in context with explanations referenced to independent sources" rather than leaving the reader to make guesses about what it all means; although unsourced, the lead section's explanation of popular flavours seems a more useful direction to take this material. --McGeddon (talk) 14:27, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

Genericised Trademark

Given the plethora of brands, is "cup-a-soup" a genericised trademark? Knorr and Lipton are owned by Unilever, but Batchelor's is owned by Premiere Foods, a completely different entity. A bit of Googling suggests that the UK version is an aberration (or that the trademark is literally Batchelor's Cup-a-Soup rather than just Cup-a-Soup) but I'm not a trademark lawyer. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 11:05, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
