Ask and ye shall recieve.
Heres a list of 214 simply wrong Capella flavors, either not a flavor Capella has or have ever had, wrong version, extremely misstyped to the point I can not even interpret it, and so on. For some I recognized at other flavor houses so made notes for each of them:
Also currently in the middle of reporting the other 800 duplicates for cap at a rate of about 2/min, so those 800 should be reported in about 7h unless shit goes sideways.
There is unfortunately going to be duplicates with the previous 300 I reported though, I couldnāt really sort them out in any reasonable way. If you donāt have a system on your side for that, please just decline all cap reports Iāve made before today. Except the ones in weird languages, those I wont report again for sure, easy to spot and sort out.
When these are all done I think Capella will be pretty cleaned up, besides from the real flavors that got faulty names, or at least not the same name as Capella has decided to give them.

Itās an headache just to look at that list!
Itās amazing how many famous TPAs FW INW are just thrown in as CAPā¦ really wondering why people do that, itās so easy to use the drop down list, why bother making it up.
Do people really think that ELR hasnāt got the complete CAP list? Iād understand (not really) a new flavour by FA (funny namingā¦) or SSA or WF, but CAP? Cāmonā¦

@Iv3shf I truly believe many people live on the mixing side, and NEVER come here. I also believe they THINK, any entries they do, are somehow JUST for their PERSONAL list, and have no clue every entry can corrupt the main flavor database.

There are also some people that purposely enter the wrong names just to be douchebags.

What about stones though?
I have a couple of stones I made in my flavour stash and they come up as āflavoursā in searches. Would that affect the database too?
Also, if you limit or remove the ability to put in anything other than āapprovedā flavour names will that take away the ability to add stones to the stash?
Just curiousā¦
You are doing an amazing job @Ken_O_Where and I donāt envy your task at all.

The database can not distinguish stones from regular single flavor names. So, yes. But there are relatively few stones circulating so Iām guessing they would not cause any issues such as misspellings, duplicates etc. When a stone is used publicly though itās always good to have a reference of what itās made from.
I would think so yes, but so far no plan to put a ālock on the front doorā has been shared by Lars. Personally I donāt see it happening in the foreseeable future.

Mine have a link (well, a text address as I couldnāt create a real link) to the one shot recipe that has the ingredients in the comments. I assume that is sufficient?

Thank you @Ken_O_Where and @TorturedZen for all this sorting out.
Question: what and where is the dupe que? Is this something I should know if I run across something wonky with flavor names?

I looked at that list that @Greger posted, now granted I just scrolled through quickly, and for the most part itās a great list, but some of those that are marked ānot a Cappella flavorā are some of the newer-ish flavors, like Frosting, Nut Muffin, Sticky Bun, etc, just to name a few. So I donāt know how it works, but Iām assuming @Ken_O_Where actually checks before removing flavors from the database?

Yea heās gonna double check them if he does anything with them. There might be some mistakes in their, but those are compared against Capellas own list of flavors from their website/docs, are you sure the ones you checked are actually Capella flavors and not some other flavor house? And not some reseller just trying get you to buy stuff by calling it something its not?
For example āNut Muffinā, I find a lot of resellers selling that flavor. But checking Capella sites https://www.capellaflavors.com/, even the euro series, I find nothing called āNut Muffinā

Iām sure, Bull City, Flavor Jungle, and Nomnomz all sell them, probably more. But I doubt those three would sell them if they werenāt legit

Could you check if you find a list of these flavors from a Capella source? Like are they only high volume wholesale they donāt post on their own site etc? Some secret series I havenāt had the possibility to compare against?

I dont actually remove flavors, that isnt something i can do. I merge or change their names and i double check everything, sometimes i have to go into private recipes to do so. I am quite thorough but i do make mistakes so if you see something let me know.

Sometimes flavors are sold through resellers before they are listed on manufacturer sites. CAP has done this a lot in the past.

Call Capella ask themā¦Im 100pct sure that none of these resellers would advertise or sell these flavors and use the Capella Name , Logo etc ā¦Possible that Capella isnt listing them bc rhey are using a distributor to sell them . Anyway , all YOU have to do is call Capella , they are really nice and informative
