I Would Change Brands If These Were Real

I would love me some unfiltered fig newtons.

  1. Two snack items I love, Tootsie Rolls and Fig Newtons, but I would not do sketchy stuff for these Cig Newtons...

    1. I love 'em both too. I can remember making my jaws sore eating Tootsie Rolls.

    2. Mom always bought me the super sized Tootsie Rolls for my birthday and Christmas. My jaw hurt after eating those.

    3. Those were awesome ... and so was your mom. Getting a treat like that in those days was serious stuff.
      A friend of mine back in the day had an aunt that worked for Tootsie in Chicago and she sent him a Tootsie Roll that was about a foot long and as big around as a soda can. He ate about half of it and gave the rest to me. Said he didn't ever want to see another one. I scarfed the rest in about 4 days and loved every bite.

  3. I bought some Fig Newtons about a year ago, had a craving. Probably been 10+ years since I had one. And yuck. They just don't taste the same. I'm wondering if they changed the recipe since I was, well, 10+ years back would put me at 50. But I remember them being so much better when I was a kid. Hmmm.

    1. You're absolutely right, Don. They aren't the same. I used to eat fig newtons from time to time, I love figs. But the fig newtons out there today are not the same. Probably nothing but artificial flavors these days. Maybe I ought to tag Sec. Kennedy and see if he can fix the problem.
