The origional image from which banner was created

Obviously we are restricted from using copyrighted material in our images. Wikimedia does have a selection of Breaking bad filming locations, and I made a banner of the 'Los Pollos Hermanos' restaurant.

I am however open to anyone making a more iconic banner if they can find an appropriate CC image source. --Andrewssi2 (talk) 22:52, 20 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

Blue rock candy

[edit]

This article is coming along great! I notice the Buy section is still empty. I remember hearing about local places selling blue rock candy made to look like the blue-tinged meth in the show (like this). Is that still a thing? Can you buy that somewhere?

According to Albuquerque's breaking bad tourism page there are a few products for sale in the city. 'Bathing Bad' blue bath salts, ice blue rock candy (as you mentioned) at $1 a bag, and Rebel donuts make an impressive inspired blue meth donut. --Andrewssi2 (talk) 23:12, 21 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
I was going to add those myself in due time, but feel free to jump in and add them yourself! :) PerryPlanet (talk) 01:50, 22 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

Damn, this took a lot quicker to build than I was expecting. I think I underestimated my own love for this show. :)

I can't think of anything else to add for now, but if anyone else can come up with anything, feel free to put it in! Does anyone want to look into cross-linking this from Wikipedia? PerryPlanet (talk) 21:32, 22 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

Congratulations! I never watched the show, so I have nothing to add except that if no-one comes up with anything in the next 24 hours or so, we should nominate this article for ftt. One question: Why is "POLLOS" all caps? Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:58, 22 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

Awesome! And to answer Ikan's question, that's because "POLLOS" in all caps was the text message Walter White would receive when he was asked to meet Gus at Los Pollos Hermanos, and I thought it looked more recognizable as such in all caps. PerryPlanet (talk) 22:32, 22 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
Media I know that there are several Flickr users who have taken pictures of Breaking Bad locations--some of them might be freely licensed. I'm a little preoccupied right now but I can try to remember to return to this if no one else has the opportunity to check. —Justin (koavf)TCM 02:01, 23 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
