Fig Newtons be da' debal'. Tru dat', yo'.

They are very addictive. Almost as bad as Cheese-Its.

Love them, as well as strawberry and raspberry versions.

Love them too, especially with a cup of coffee.

You should try Fig Newmans. They are made by Paul Newman's company, Newman's Own. They might be in a different section at the grocery store but they are worth looking for.

They are actually a fairly healthy snack also.

Great for energy when hiking - right up there with trail mix.

Ate some last week in fact.

I have to agree that the Wallie World brand is as close to the real deal as any off/store brand fig Newtons I have ever eaten, and you can buy twice as much!

Hell ya. But dia beetus-so I get one of the big ones occasionally at the gas station.

Fig Newmans are the shit. Even better than Newtons.

I always bring a couple of packages back to work with me. I love 'em. Especially with a glass of ice cold milk.

They're a great energy snack on my bike rides as well.

Thanks guys. Now I'm craving some. Let's see if Amazon fresh can deliver in two hours.....

Love me some Fig Newtons! Not a fan of other fruited Newtons though. I can easily down a sleeve of the original Fig Newtons with a tall glass of cold milk.

Good stuff, but I can only have them every so often - I go through 'em too fast.

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.

Love them!! Haven't had them in quite awhile though. Watching what I eat and all. Now I need some.

I'm still suffering from last week's attach, so no fig Newtons for me for awhile.

I was not aware of this. Thank you.

I stick a handful in my cargo pants pocket when I walk my dogs. Shiba Inu like fig newtons too.

So do huskies.

Oh yes. On a recent trip to Africa in which I had lots of trail mix and nut bars, I discovered what I really liked was (other peoples') fig bars. But fig, not the late-comer fruit. Too many at once can overstimulate the GI tract, however.

Love me some Fig Newtons.

You want a real treat, chase 'em with some OJ!

Fig newtons with brie and di parma? Yum?
