I like the Drink Based Characterization idea. I'm also in favor of moving valid examples from Trademark Favorite Drink to it (and removing the ones that do not deal with characterization).

Calling in favor of both options.

Now, let's get an Alt Names going while also thinking about the rewrite.

Made a crowner featuring the two suggestions that were posted. I figured if people come up with more ideas, they can be added later.

I think it's safe to call in favor of Drink-Based Characterization.

Okay, move established.

Let's make sure to check the example list some time, and take care of these wicks.

fixed a typo on the sandbox.

given the reason this became so misused, id like to see Trademark Favorite Food drawn a little more attention to. something like "If the drink doesn't represent anything about the character's personality, it's a Trademark Favorite Drink." it also draws attention to the redirect.

also, is Trademark Favorite Food still going to be adjusted to better reflect that it also covers drinks?

I've modified the final paragraph to address the concerns raised [up]. Any other thoughts?

I'm worried it might need to be a bit more explicit that this trope requires a connection to characterization and has nothing to do with what drink the character likes. That said, the new title does help drive it home. Maybe I'm just slightly paranoid, given how heavily Drink Order is being misused.

Hopefully the fact that the bullets start with a trait and describe the drinks used to indicate it in relatively general terms will help. At the very least, I wrote "The examples below should indicate both a drink and a trait." Technically an example that fails to connect the drink to the trait is ZCE, but any example with only a drink can be removed as misuse. Just copy+paste for the edit reason.

Drink Order has been moved to Drink-Based Characterization. Subpages and wicks still need to be moved.

[up]That, and misuse that belongs under Trademark Favorite Food needs to be moved to that trope (or its redirect, Trademark Favorite Drink).

So I noticed the page was soft-split. I suspect that once we go and hack away at the on-page misuse, we might be able to just merge it all together.

Taking care of some. Thoughts on what can be salvaged from Quotes.Drink Order?

I say...

Keep Justice League (it's a funny subversion of expectations for this trope)...

The others, I'm not sold on. Most of them are just "character drinks drink".
