lindt is swiss?

i always thought they were french! the labels on their chocs always say "Product of France"!

Most I've seen are either German or Swiss.

Just because it's made in France doesn't mean it's not Swiss nowadays. There's loads of "authentic Italian pizzeria pizzas" advertised around here (Manchester, England) that have on the box "Made in Germany". --Darth Deskana (talk page) 09:22, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

It is the recipe that counts. And that is Swiss. Lindt does have production facilities in Kilchberg, Switzerland. The fact that the export products are made in France, Germany or wherever is probably a strategic decision. As France is part of the EU, exporting from there to other EU coutries is much simpler and most likely less costly.

Lindt is Swiss, on my trffle bag it says "Lindt & Sprüngli - Master Swiss Chocolatier Since 1845." It is manufactured in New Hampshire, USA, but the recipe is Swiss. The93owner 16:58, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Lindt has a plant in Stratham, New Hampshire to supply it's product to North America. It makes sense to me because Lindt's big market is milk chocolate which melts easily and would be more expensive to ship, and in NH is close to a large supply of dairy milk. Gohiking 17:15, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Of course Lindt is Swiss. And besides having factories in Switzerland, they also have factories in France, Italy, Germany and Austria and last but not least the US. Stratham NH however is not the only production site. Lindt also owns, as mentioned in the article, the factory of Ghirardelli in San Leandro, CA. 84.72.17.235 19:42, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

For a big international brand this page is sickeningly short JayKeaton 11:59, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Isn't Lindt the same as Lindor? Can't we merge these two pages or something? Applejaxs 21:17, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

I disagree, Lindt is not the same as Lindor - Lindt is the manufacturer and Lindor is a type of chocolate made by Lindt. Lostvalley 14:43, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

I disagree as well. Lindor is a type or sub-brand of chocolate from the company Lindt & Sprüngli. Redsoxsandiego 06:47, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I see. I always thought they were the same. Just with different names. ...Which really makes no sense, now that I think of it. Applejaxs 22:04, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Lindt employee here. Lindor is not a sub-brand. It is indeed just a name of chocolate Lindt and Sprungli makes. Lindor refers to the shell of the Lindor Truffles. Truffle refers to the creamy centre. Lindor is not branded and comes in ball or bar form as well as seasonal and holiday items, ex. Easter Lindor Eggs. 209.121.248.192 05:36, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Trivia/Controversy Sections

I'm entirely new to the editing process on Wikipedia, but I felt compelled to remove these two sections because they were unattributed, patently false, and self-contradictory. I welcome questions or comments. Mcleaniac 04:37, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

"Since then, Lindt & Sprüngli has expanded the once-regional Ghirardelli to the international market."

Has it? Ghirardelli is almost impossible to find here in Britain, at any rate: is it easier to get in other countries? 86.149.131.137 (talk) 18:27, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

"Lindor" now redirects to this article

The Lindor article has been merged into this page. Gh5046 (talk) 21:59, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Artificial Flavouring

I find it a shame that famous chocolate makers such as Lindt resort to using artificial flavours in their products. While this is understandable for cheap chocolates fit for Walmart, it amounts to cheating when it comes to overpriced supposedly premium chocolates. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.233.68.103 (talk) 05:22, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

lindt giant plush gold bunny

does anyone know anything about the giant plush bunnies that lindt make at easter time? are they only australian? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.161.83.207 (talk) 17:37, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

I don't know how to get a general message through to Wikipedia, and as this comment arose from reading a specific article, I give my comments here. The key fact listed for Lindt & Sprüngli includes their turnover in "billions" of CHF. The unit "billions" should be avoided as it is confusing in that the traditional (European) billion is a millon millions, while the American billion (lately more or less adapted by United Kingdom) is only a thousand millions. As a result, the Wikipedia article on Lindt & Sprüngli did not give me the facts I was looking for, so I had to go elsewhere to have the turnover confirmed as CHF 2.5 American billions (2,500 millions). This is probably a general comment that should go back to Wikipedia if they want to be properly international, and not too American. --Juanelnoruego (talk) 12:01, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Billion

There's been a request that this be clarified so that it is clear that it is not a long scale European billion. Dougweller (talk) 14:38, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Their motto is "Lindt - Fresh from Ye Pocket"

I removed the above line, as it does not fit with the company branding at all, and a Google search for "Fresh from Ye Pocket" only yielded a single result(this page). erikD 22:10, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

All started with Spruengli who is Swiss-German last name. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.142.122.175 (talk) 16:22, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
