Talk:Soft!

Drink is called "Soft!"

The soft drink in question is not called "Kwench" - it's called "Soft!" Toddhagopian (talk) 21:29, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Toddhagopian The article as it stands is correct: the drink being marketed is called Kwench! (with an exclamation mark). The exclamation mark in question is a feature of the advertising campaign for the drink that is described in the novel.
What is incorrect, as can be seen from the cover image of the book reproduced here, is the use of an exclamation mark in the title of the novel - and therefore this Wikipedia article.
The novel is titled Soft in English. What I hadn't known until just now was that Kwench! was used as the title of the German edition.

The novel is called "Soft!" on Amazon in the U.S. The publisher's website uses the exclamation as well: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/authors/31011/rupert-thomson/
Perhaps the drink is called "Kwench" in the German edition but it is definitely called "Soft!" in the English edition. Toddhagopian (talk) 21:50, 1 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
The description of the novel on the publisher's website also calls the soft drink "Soft!" - https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/178445/soft-by-rupert-thomson/ Toddhagopian (talk) 21:51, 1 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
