Previous Deletions[edit]

This is a complete rewrite of the B-52 article, which includes considerable new information as well as a reference. It should in no way qualify for speedy deletion, and if anyone feels it should be deleted, only the full AFD process should be used since this is essentially an entirely different article. Thank you. --Willscrlt 09:03, 25 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ice?[edit]

At the IBA website, the "official" recipe says to build the ingredients over ice. I've never seen it served that way. Nonetheless, if Wikipedia is citing IBA recipes, should they not be correct? 24.57.16.135 (talk) 00:47, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Picture[edit]

Shouldn't the picture properly reflect the contents of the drink? The contents are listed as Kahlúa, Baileys and Grand Marnier - yet, in the main introductory picture, the ingredients are Kahlúa, Baileys - and Stroh80, a liquor that has nothing to do with Grand Marnier or any orange cognac for that matter? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.211.213.142 (talk) 21:42, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

less conjecture, more facts[edit]

I'm seeing an awful lot of conjecture, stated as fact, which has no citations. Please back up this information with citations. Zlama (talk) 02:21, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

B-52s[edit]

The band name came from the hairdo called the B-52, not the bomber. The hairstyle itself was named after the bomber. This part of the article is factually incorrect. The article on band states as much. It should be removed, or sourced and rewritten. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © Join WER 21:19, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This article states: "This bomber was used in the Vietnam War for the release of incendiary bombs" Sorry, another example of wiki original research that is, of course, wrong. B-52s dropped general purpose bombs (most typically 750-lb M117s) during the Vietnam War, not incendiaries. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.158.48.11 (talk) 14:05, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Origin[edit]

Not believable it has to do with the band called B-52s. They formed in Athens, Georgia, USA in 1976 and did their first concert only in 1977; and at the same time they would already be the favourite band of a barkeeper in Calgary, Alberta, Canada? That's very, very, very unlikely except if that barkeeper had some sooth-sayer capabilities (which I find even more incredible). YellowOnline (talk) 17:10, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Variant?[edit]

"B-156, a B-52 but three times larger in an Old Fashioned glass." Is this for real? This sounds like a joke. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.160.162.10 (talk) 18:37, 21 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
