Name

I came here looking for the origin of the name. Does anyone know why they were named Jammie Dodgers? Thalawest (talk) 01:59, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This page says they were named after Roger The Dodger from The Beano. JaffaCakeLover (talk) 14:56, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summary

Hi, I have made some edits on the Jammie Dodgers page such as updating the product variants as well as where they are made. I have also changed the manufacturing company from Burtons Foods to Burton's Biscuit Company. Lastly I have added 2 citations as the page was lacking them. I have a question too, the image of the pack is out of date. How can I update the image? Thank youMrs biskit (talk) 09:50, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Uploading_images#Steps_in_uploading_a_new_image should tell you all you need to know about uploading a new picture. Once it's up there, just edit the article to use the filename of your new image in place of the old one.

Can I ask what publication "IRI 52 w/e 4th August 2012" refers to, in your edit? If it's an industry magazine, it'd be good to name it in full. And what's the exact wording of the " bought by 30% of UK households" claim - that 30% of all households buy Jammie Dodgers regularly, or just that they've bought at least one packet in living memory? --McGeddon (talk) 11:04, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

1870s

I have removed "in the 1870s" from the "first produced" sentence, as the reference only says "Crumpsall Biscuit Works opened in Lower Crumpsall, Manchester, in around 1873" and makes no reference to the Jammie Dodger being made at this time. The rest of the article cites Jammie Dodgers being first produced in the 1960s. If this info is to be re-added, a proper citation needs to be found.

Another brazen example of British cultural appropriation

Why are Brits (yet again) taking credit for something that's existed since at least the mid-1800s, the Linzer cookie??? To say that this type of cookie was "invented in 1960" is beyond nonsensical. 2601:8C0:881:8200:84C5:CB56:8DC5:335C (talk) 04:26, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@2601:8C0:881:8200:84C5:CB56:8DC5:335C In fact, this article should really be titled "Linzer cookie" (or biscuit), with "jammie dodger" under the section "similar biscuits." 2601:8C0:881:8200:84C5:CB56:8DC5:335C (talk) 04:31, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Believe me, this is a different and very, very British product. Only we make that special "jam" filling that is indistinguishable from red plastic. It is all that remains of our national pride! Seriously though, think of this as being about the branded version of the biscuits that you can buy in a plastic packets from supermarkets and which are separate from the traditional handmade biscuit that it is loosely based on.

We do already cover Linzer cookies. That name redirects to Linzer torte where they are explained, albeit only very briefly. Maybe it could be expanded on a bit there? --DanielRigal (talk) 12:48, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
