Article seems to be from a very american POV: in the UK and probably the rest of the commonwealth, the Fig Roll is a very popular biscuit and not marketed under the name Fig Newtons at all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.223.19.6 (talk) 17:50, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Nothing backs up this ridiculous assertion. The only verifiable facts in this "article" have to do with the history of the distribution of figs and the modern manufacture of fig rolls. Unless someone can come up with reliable verification for an ancient Egyptian origin, I propose that all reference to such be deleted from the article. I have the feeling that some user is pulling our legs...--Akhooha (talk) 23:21, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
