"... the inventor of baby formula." — maybe it's just my poor command of the English language, but what the heck is "baby formula"? Baby = (♀ + ♂) * S_EX?Lupo 15:21, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

• I don't get it either, I rewrote it. --68.239.221.4205:14, 2 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This might be a stupid question, but why does the article specify that his formula was a mixture that includedSwiss milk? Wouldn't it be assumed he was using the milk of the country he was in? Or is "Swiss milk" a product different from ordinary milk (like, say, sweetened condensed milk)?Jdavidb 05:35, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)

• That's so not NPOV, I rewrote it. --68.239.221.4205:14, 2 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Where is his other biography? It says that he was one of the main milk chocolate producers of his time, but in the article's body it doesn't even mentioned. You can understand from reading the article that his whole Nestle company career was in producing infant food.Tomer T17:53, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nestlé did not make milk chocolate until 1929, when the company merged with Peter, Caillier, Kohler Chocolats Suisses S.A. (http://www.nestle.com/AllAbout/AtGlance/KeyDates/KeyDates.htm). Daniel Peter was the inventor of milk chocolate.PZ1800 (talk)12:00, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"During this time, he changed his name to Henri Nestlé in order to adapt better to the new social conditions in Vevey, Switzerland."

Could someone (who knows about this) expand on it in the article - I don't understand any of the context or the reason for it. ThanksDrum guy (talk)20:40, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder whether someone might be able to add the proper German or Swiss pronunciation of Nestle---we all know it is pronounced NESS-lee, but in other countries it is pronounced nest-LEH. So what is the correct way to say his name? Is it "nestle" [NESS-L] as in the English word?76.195.84.230 (talk)12:01, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

When you say "we all know how it's pronounced" I presume you mean the US? Certainly in the UK / Ireland it is pronounced "Ness-LAY" -- although it wasn't always this way, I can still vividly remember British Milky Bar ads from the 1970s which pronounced it "Ness-L" (like the English word nestle). Certainly in French without the acute accent on the E it would be pronounced Ness-LUH, but adding the accent makes it Ness-LAY. So my presumption is that he added the accent in order to "force" French speakers to pronounce it properly (i.e. the correct German pronounciation is Nest-LAY). That is just my presumption though, would love a native German speaker to confirm/deny this.89.100.153.65 (talk)17:54, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

German pronounciation is like Nest-Le (btw it is not LAY because there is no i or y at the end, german pronounciation is very close to the letters with only very few nonpronounced silent letters, and hardly ever a letter pronounced that is not there; that's for standard german of cause)178.210.114.106 (talk)08:28, 21 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

the é changes french pronouciation from ness-l to ness-le178.210.114.106 (talk)08:32, 21 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The infobox says he had a kid but the article said he didn't.GamerKlim9716 (talk)05:50, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
