I'm about to do a Band Aid (band) page. Tiny query: this page says Band Aid did "We Are the World". From a UK perspective that act was USA for Africa. Am I to take it that they were called Band Aid in the US? -Nommo

[edit] Removed

Removed the following:

"in much the same way as British people will use the trademark name "Elastoplast""

(Sticky) Plaster is the common term in the UK.

[edit] Picture

I think the giant image of a band-aid is a bit much. Does some one want to shink it down, maybe? I'm not quite sure how to do that. timrem 07:42, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

--- I think the giant image of the band-aid is perfectly welcome. This kind of absurdity is a rare and special treat, so enjoy it. Weeeeeee! Giant band aid! 130.243.74.84 12:08, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

i also vote in favor of the ginormo bandaid, with reservations. an argument about wasted/expensive bandwidth could certainly be made, but for me personally i wish more pictures were this outsized. there are some pictures that i wish were larger, for more detail. the bigger the better! --dan 16:13, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Today

I tried to clean up the "Today" section but I'm not sure it belongs here at all. It's basically just a list of products, which might be useful if we could get an impartial description of them. johnmarkos 04:20, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Seafood Bandage

Maybe this should be added to the page http://www.popsci.com/popsci/medicine/279c849101acb010vgnvcm1000004eecbccdrcrd.html —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Craigboy (talk • contribs) 03:30, 5 May 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Packaging (tins vs. paper boxes)

Shouldn't there be something about how (at least in the American market) the packaging changed from tin packages to paper boxes. This happened around 1999? If so I can make an image of a Band Aid tin because I saved one (it's my change jar ;-) ). Guroadrunner 06:03, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Certainly, a picture of a band aid tin would be quite welcome. I used to use those to hold other things (e.g. butterflies...) because they were nice packages. It would also be great if someone could find and add a picture of one of the original band-aids from the 1920s. --Keflavich 15:24, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
