Just wondering if there should be a mention of the U.S. regional preferences between Grits and Cream of Wheat. As I understand it, many people in the northern US eat Cream of Wheat and have never heard of Grits, and vice-versa. Wikilackey02:49, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
One article says it was common practice to use African Amwericans as product mascots. Another says it was not. Statements in both articles are unreferenced.
i agree with Roodog2k, African-americans were used vastly in that era (drawn mostly as Caracture-like), even the words Nigger and "negro" were used in some brands.
The image Image:Cream of Wheat 1895.jpg is clearly a magazine advertisement, not a box, and has the look of ads from roughly 20 years later (could be a bit more) than the 1895 date suggested. (This is pretty obvious to anyone who has worked with materials from that era-- spend a few minutes looking at ads in magazines from the 1890s verses late 1910s if you wish confirmation.) I have asked for more details of the image source from the uploader on Commons, and have changed the caption here. -- Infrogmation00:32, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Part of the article references that it is no longer manufactured or marketed by Kraft (and the FAQ link at the bottom of the article is broken.) So, should it be in category "Kraft Brands" if it was sold, as the article implies? 98.215.53.205 (talk) 17:05, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's B&G. I have a box of Cream of Wheat; no Nabisco logo and the side panel says "B&G Foods, Inc." Unfortunately this probably qualifies as original research. Maybe scanning the box would count as a reference? But it's definitely B&G now and should probably be removed from Kraft Brands, if someone can find a reference. --99.152.134.154 (talk) 23:46, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This article claims Cream of Wheat is made from semolina. There is no reference for this, and the Cream of Wheat ingredients list does not mention semolina or durum, but says "Wheat Farina" which is made from wheat middlings, not specifically from durum wheat, and durum middlings are called semolina. Therefore, I'm removing the mention of semolina. --Ericjs (talk) 17:40, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
From wikipedia's description of wheat middlings as mainly bran and germ left over after endosperm is taken for flour, one would expect Cream of Wheat to have even more fiber than whole grain wheat. However from the nutritional info on the box, it has 1 g of fiber per 33g (whole grain wheat would have about 4g). There is a "whole grain" variety of cream of Wheat and even that has only 3g per 33g (its ingredients lists "Whole Grain Wheat (Wheat Farina, Wheat Bran, Wheat Germ)"). I don't see a good way to incorporate this info into the article, but I'd just note that Cream of Wheat would seem to have more endosperm than bran, despite what following the dots from "wheat farina" through wikipedia descriptions might suggest.

Has there ever been an attempt to market this product outside the US and Canada, either as CoW or some other name? It's unknown in the UK unless somebody makes it with different branding. Porridge culture is well established there though, which I guess occupies the same market niche. --Ef80 (talk) 17:28, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
