I like them well enough, and have had plenty over the years, but I doubt I've ever bought more than a couple of packages of them myself.

there is a small roadside stop here in AZ on I8 called Dateland and they grow fresh dates - I usually pick up a bag or two of fresh Medjools - they are awesome if you've never had any really fresh dates - like picked that morning

I grew up on them because my father was a fanatic.
I don't remember enjoying them like I have the last couple of years.

That and the prices are outrageous.

I believe it was within the last year the girlfriend picked up a package from Aldi, and unfortunately i am hooked.

I bought a sleeve for the drive to Durham tomorrow to set up temporary housing.

I have suffered from kidney stones off and on for years but I am not giving up coffee and not aldi fig newtons.

Used to eat them as a kid. I think the last time I had them was at my parent's house. Don't think I've ever bought them myself even though I have no trouble eating them.

I always wondered where the "Newton" came from. According to Wikipedia:

"The product was named after the city of Newton, Massachusetts."

They're not my favorite cookie (not really into sweets anyway), but I will say they are an EXCELLENT energy snack if you're on a long bike ride.

Here's Brian Regan on Fig Newtons. The first 90 seconds.

Fig New Serving Size


Regan was the first thing I thought of when I saw the title.

I'm with him, I can eat them by the sleeve.

I'm down with chomping on the Newtons.

There is only one flavor. That is the fig.

I only have them every year or two, but enjoy when it happens.

Cheers~

It is my firmly held belief that had they been intended to only be consumed one or two at a time, they would have been thusly wrapped. So, it's considered a "serving size." No problem.

Always liked fig newtons, but don't eat them that often.
The blueberry flavor is extra awesome.

Love fig newtons since I was a kid. Mom allowed these over the super sweet Oreos and stuff, so these were what we had around.

I don't really enjoy the other flavors I've tried like berry or apple.
