Balance

This article seems like it was written by the Baskin Robbins p.r. team. It should be more balanced. Aaronproot

Country Locations

Technically Mexico, Nicaragua, and Panama are part of Central America (well maybe not Mexico)

Could there be a section labeled Central America?

- There isn't a single Baskin-Robbins in Iceland - I live in Iceland and I know. I am removing this incorrect listing in "Global locations"

University of Illinois Evanston?

No such place, my friends. 66.210.31.26 19:24, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Some interesting articles

http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m3301/is_6_103/ai_87469112 - on BR manufacturing; changes, etc. Trade publication.

"24 million gals of ice cream processed each year in 14 plants"

http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m3301/is_n8_v99/ai_21166211

"as one of the world's leading experts on the dietary link with the environment and" - on the flavor arm of the company, which does some outside business as well.

"Baskin-Robbins Flavors started as the vertically integrated supplier to the retail system but quickly exceeded its original mission and began developing flavor systems for a select external customer base."

I've looked through the first 50 of this search(which has 1216 items); will do more later. JesseW, the juggling janitor 23:08, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Torgo?

Looks like vandalism to me, but maybe it just needs disambiguation. Where I live, there is some combining of a Baskin-Robbins and a doughnut store in one location. Lou Sander 14:27, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

It's Togo's. I fixed it. I live in Los Angeles and they already have the Togo's and Baskin Robbins merged. Why sigh, cutie pie? 00:46, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. No Togo's here in Steeler Country, but B-R sometimes shares premises with (Mister or Dunkin') Donut. Probably owned by the same company. Lou Sander 01:40, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Poker Hand

Not sure where (or if) this would fit into the article, but Baskin Robbins is also the nickname of a poker hand, a 3 and an Ace, in reference to the "31 Flavors". Brainscar 06:59, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Movie Reference?

Once, I watched this movie and a Baskin Robins Truck was in the movie. I don't know what the movie was called, but I think someone should find out and put it as a reference. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.147.130.240 (talk) 21:04, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

31 or 21 Original Flavors Contradiction

According to the Original 31 Flavors section, there were 31 flavors when store opened in 1945, but the main article says it only had 21 flavors when it opened and the ad campaign advertising 31 flavors didn't come about until 1953. JasonThePirate 21:41, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Cleared. At the beginning it was Snowbird Ice Cream and Burt's Ice Cream Shop, the former which had 21 flavors, and was founded in 1945, the later founded in 1946. When they merged into Baskin-Robbins, they had 31 flavors. So Baskin-Robbins had 31 flavors from the very beginning (1953). I'm also fixing the store founding years, as it wasn't founded in 1945, it was founded in 1953. MEEEEEEEEE! (talk) 05:55, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Can someone please explain the spoon to someone who's never been there?

Thanks. 67.243.7.245 (talk) 06:15, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

See also section

Is there a reason that every major ice cream parlor chain is listed in the "See also" section? 38.241.193.241 (talk) 20:15, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Map of global locations

On the picture, it shows New Zealand as highlighted. There is no Baskin Robbins in New Zealand, and the country is not part of Australia. This should be fixed
