QPQ: No - Not done
Overall: Article is new enough, easily long enough, and the sources are reliable news sites and a Tip Top press release.

Hook is fine and I've marked as such, but having read the article, I do wonder if a more interesting one could be done. Perhaps around the mathematical modeling to solve the gumdrop distribution problem, or maybe that the flavour has been available in both biscuit and milk form? I also think the article is begging for an icecream shot. If you don't have one to hand, I might be able to commission one from the only GGGD fan in my household (the rest of us are either vegetarian so can't eat gumdrops or think it is an abomination!).

  • @DrThneed: Great idea, I think that the mathematical model one would be a much more interesting hook! How about ALT1:
"... that despite mathematical models deeming the ice block Goody Goody Gum Drops impossible, it was still created?"
Unfortunately I'm having a bit of difficulty getting the best wording. —Panamitsu (talk) 03:45, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oh yes, much better than ALT0! Just a QPQ needed then. Thanks Panamitsu! DrThneed (talk) 03:51, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
