Fig newtons are awesome. So delicious, especially when coupled with a tall glass of ice-cold milk.

Why can't I have a big box of them sitting beside me right now? :'(

Barry Egan · « **Reply #16 on:** June 08, 2009, 09:59:02 PM »

I'm pretty much forced to leave my comfortable bed and attain a box of newtons thanks to this thread.

I never really cared for them. If someone had a sleeve, I would chomp on some but I don't think I would go "Hey, Fig Newtons!" in the supermarket.

Barry Egan · « **Reply #30 on:** June 08, 2009, 11:54:10 PM »

Newtons were acquired. Off-brand, as suggested in the op.

Current status of Newtons: annihilated.

Great snack. I'm more of a 100-calorie popcorn bag man myself, but my wife and I like to keep fig or raspberry Newtons around for when we watch movies.

tehjaybo · « **Reply #35 on:** June 09, 2009, 12:11:17 PM »

I don't hate them, but I would rather have some other type of snack.

Then again, it has been years since I ate any. I will be going to WalMart on my lunch break, and obtaining these so called "fig-filled cakelike treats".

I didn't know Newtons came in flavors other than fig. Strawberry Newtons sound delicious.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #38 on:** June 09, 2009, 06:59:44 PM »

I like Fig Newtons, but two or three at a time is all I can eat.

I've never had the other flavors. Any of them good?

Broccoli is awesome. I remember a few years ago in highschool. I just packed broccoli and enjoyed the shit out of it. Because that's what men do. I was like
"Brocolli please, "

lunch lady was like " Just....Broccoli?!"

me : " Just broccoli"
So badass, ate that shit with a happy face.

the only flavors nabisco still makes are strawberry or raspberry

of those two strawberry is best

they discontinued blueberry and apple

Barry Egan · « **Reply #43 on:** June 09, 2009, 09:28:35 PM »

iirc, strawberry trumped even those discontinued flavors though

If any of Japan Bore wants some, I will bring them when I come to Tokyo* next April.

fig newtons

They're delicious, but I haven't had them in years. The one thing I don't like is the coating they leave in my mouth everytime I have more than one. I will also bring some to Japanbore next time I am in the nihons (hopefully August) and we will get drunk and then have them, as I imagine that is the way to go.

Note to self to buy fig newtons this weekend to see if booze and fig newtons is indeed the way to go. I bet it's awesome.

That'd be great for me, except I'm in Osaka. And Tokyo is probably the one place in Japan that /does/ have them. I've not seen them, but the foreign grocers there seem to have EVERYTHING.

Yeah, we did Kyoto/Osaka/Hiroshima on our honeymoon trip. This time we want to focus on Tokyo (since we didn't see a whole lot of it last time) and the surrounding areas.

Attention Japanborez: if you can't find Fig Newtons, but have access to a Kaldi or other source of imported foods, try LU's Figolu. It's pretty good. The outside is a little more biscuit-y, and the inside's a little sweeter and less gritty. They're about 550 a pack at Kaldi, and worth it.
