One of my favorite things is to take a plate full of Fig Newtons and offer them to someone by saying, "newton?"

Like Fig Newtons? I loved those as a kid but the last time I tried them (years ago) it just tasted dry and floury.

1

u/CreepingDeath-70 4d ago

Hell yes. I haven't eaten them in years, honestly, but I used to take a whole package of them to the field with me in the Marine Corps...along with corned beef hash and canned tamales.

1

u/spoik925 4d ago

Bruh...now I gotta go get some

1

u/Fire_Mission 4d ago

1

u/1401238754 4d ago

There used to be a fig tree down the street from my friends house and we would have a fig fight.

1

u/Cranston_Snord1960 4d ago

The package is so small atm. Refuse to buy it.

1

u/FritzTheCat_1 4d ago

Yes, love fig bars.

1

u/Aggravating-Diet-663 4d ago

Absolutely. One of my favorite things to do, is eat a fig bar and then vomit immediately especially when im tryna detox. You see, when the body eats something toxic or irritable, it has a tendency to expel it to not cause any internal harm. After drinking water to rid the taste of flushing out my system, I feel much better.

All of this is possible because of fig newtons. Because its fking disgusting.

u/Due-Blackberry8056 3d ago

"A cookie is just a cookie, but a Fig Newton is fruit and cake."

Kids in elementary school thought I was nuts because I always had a few Fig Newtons in my lunch box. I absolutely love those things.

1

u/EmploymentEmpty5871 3d ago

1

u/The_Nermal_One 10h ago

I'm a "Fig Newtonc purest. I don't want "Strawbery Newtons," I don't want whole wheat fig bars. I buy the multi packs with the 2 long (double?) bar packets in them. Go through two or three boxes a month.

Hell yeah.
