Talk:Bombay mix

Techniques

I dsipute these techniques because I use a funnel to eat my mix, and so does my wife.

Bombay mix can also be eaten with a fork or a post-it note.

That's funny. We pour it into a glass and then just take mouthfuls like we're drinking it.

Corn

This page links to the disambiguation page Corn, but I'm not sure which sense is intended. Can you help? Thanks. — Pekinensis 21:28, 4 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Rename to Indian Mixture

This item or variety of this is available all over in India. Title may be renamed to Indian Mixture. --Vssun (talk) 09:35, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would like the article to be titled Indian Savoury Mixes. or Indian Savoury Mixtures. Mix is commonly used in the UK. The plural would emphasis the variety. I can think of four manufacturers of the top of my head and who each produce around twenty different blends.Bombay mix might be the commonest but at the moment this article is like an article about beer being titled lager.82.37.59.17 (talk) 08:34, 23 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A suggestion has been made to merge the 'Bhuja' article with this one. With this suggestion in mind, I would agree that retitling the article to something like 'Indian Savoury Mixes' would be more inclusive. Katiedevi (talk) 04:05, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Suzy mix

I removed the claim that this is called "Suzy mix" in the United States, due to lack of citation after several months. This claim was added by an anonymous editor and sounds like it could be a prank. If anyone can verify the claim is true, it would be helpful to provide some evidence. Thanks! -- Beland (talk) 22:59, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Reassessing Rename to Indian Mixture

I read an earlier comment suggesting that the article be renamed to Indian Savoury Mixes or Indian Savoury Mixture. I agree with this, I think the name Indian Snack Mixture/Mixes is better and more representative, as the mixture is diverse across regions of India, and Bombay is outdated, which is evidence of the name Bombay Mix being outdated too. Isotus (talk) 12:08, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Bombay Mix is the name for one type of mix in one area of the world. It is inaccurate. In the UK Bombay Mix is the most popular, but there is also Balti Mix (the best one), London Mix, Delhi Mix, Gujarati Mix, Traditional Mix, Chevda Mix, etc.
If it's not going to be renamed to Indian Savoury Mixes, then rename it to Bhuja or Chevda instead and have Bombay mix (and Bhuja or Chevda) redirect to it.
Admittedly the majority of British speakers that know about these mixes call them Bombay Mix, but that doesn't mean the article should be called that. People come to wikipedia to educate themselves. And using "Bombay Mix" just feels un-PC to be honest. 149.22.135.107 (talk) 09:54, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Just noting that in no event should "savoury" or "mix" be capitalised in any new title, per MOS:AT. Article and section titles should always be in sentence case. Food names are not capitalised except for individual words that are the names of people (like pasta alla Norma) or places, or in the case of trademarked food names (like Big Mac).
"Bombay mix" is correctly capitalised; "Bombay Mix", which is a category of snacks and not a particular company's trademark (compare Chex Mix), is incorrect.
Thanks for your attention to these details. Julietdeltalima (talk) 10:24, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
