Love 'em. Like the Little Debbie brand just as much, maybe a little better.

Yeah, I've always liked Fig Newtons, but other flavors are gross.

Didn't know figs aren't good for kidney stones. Learn something new here at SF all the time!

Luckily for my kidneys, I don't like fig newtons. My husband loves them.


Oh, I know. I have a whole list of things that are not good if you are a kidney stone producer like I am. Just a FYI nuts, especially peanuts are bad to, I can live without peanuts but the others, come on!

Oh, for coffee lovers, bad to! This is the end of today's PSA!

Still love me some Fig Newtons!

I love me some Fig Newtons. The only problem is that once I get started I can not stop eating them.

I love them. They're one of my favorite sweet snacks.

The Aldi brand ones are even better than the name brand ones.

They're OK and I occasionally buy some. Have only had one kidney stone, some years ago, and did not know there was a connection to figs.

My favorite cookie is no longer on any store shelves in my area: Archway soft molasses cookies--the smaller iced version is available but not the big round uniced ones.

Wow. Yeah, I like them. I just haven't thought of them in a long while. Now I need some. And I need them badly.

As a kid my dad would always buy these when we too k road trips. Still to this day I cannot take a road trip without adding a box (or 2) of Fig Newtons to snack on Big Grin

Love 'em! I'm not so sure about some of the flavors that have been added to the Newton lineup over time - I just want the originals.

I'm a fan. I'll sometimes refer to them as "Fag Newtons", so when I got some strawberry flavored ones I asked my girlfriend, "You want a Strawberry Queer?" It took her a second to get it, but she got it, and she laughed. This is important.

I like the fat-free ones, but for flavor rather than any health reason. I also found that eating them with walnuts mimics the taste of baklava rather closely.

Hmmm...very interesting. Somewhat similar to our discovery that eating dates with cream cheese was much like eating cheesecake.

I don't buy them that often, but when I do, I get them at Aldi.

A couple of them -- no, not a whole sleeve -- with my morning coffee.

I love Fig Newtons as well. I always feel just a bit weird buying them.
