fig newtons, man...i mean, seriously.



look, i'm not even eating the name brand fig newtons and i'm in serious cloud9 - and i'm not stoned!

these things are just the awesomest. whoever invented them was a great person, i don't care if they were mean in real life. these damn cookies give them a pass in my book.

isn't it time we showed some love to the legendary relative of wayne, juice and sir isaac?

YES, i say.

Yeah, I find them gross. When I was young, I used to have to go to my grandparents house afterschool until my parents got off work and could pick me up. My grandpa loved fig newtons. We would have dinner promptly at 5pm, while watching Judge Wapner and The People's Court, and then fig newtons for dessert. Yuck.

I love them. Just the fig ones. Not that new strawberry and apple and all that crap.
Fig Newtons are awesome and addictive.
