Solid choice. I just can't eat a whole package before they go stale so I tend to only pick a small sleeve when I am traveling.

After seeing the slightly longer ones in vending machines, I assumed they are a continuously extruded cookie, and thought if I worked there, I would like to take home a 3 foot long one some day.

 This sticker is dangerous and inconvenient, but I do love Fig Newtons. |

Decades ago Nature Valley used to make apricot bars.
 Now it's some sort of peach-apricot blend.

I like the little debbie figaroos better. Seems fresher and softer. But I like fig Newtons.

I did a thread on them a while back and it was fairly popular. I love them and can eat an entire package of them. That's why I don't buy them very often...

I'll buy some and share them with the kids. |

Most people stop liking figs when they find out about fig wasps. I still like figs and Fig Newtons though.

LOVE them. But no one else in the house does...so I end up eating them all. Hence I don't buy often.
Second choice - Maple Leaf Cookies... |

I used to love the other flavors (not pure fig)
I find them a bit dry now, but still have them every once in a while when I run across them at the store. |

I do, if they're the original like you have. The diet/lowfat or whatever ones are nasty.

Yes to fig newtons.
Also there was a packaged flat cookie about 1/4” thick and about 4” X 8” that had raisin filling, and the cookie must have been brushed with egg white. Had a shiny crust. Can’t remember what they were called, maybe a biscuit or sandwich cookie. |

Grew up on them. Parents would freeze them when on sale. Sucks to separate frozen figs.
Love them though. |

Haven't had them for quite a while though...now I got a sudden hankering for 'em... |

I just transferred a recipe of my own into my secondary.
A cranberry almond nut brown ale. I think for next winter, I'll do a holiday type ale and add crushed fig newton's into the wort. I had beer that had whole sheet cakes tossed in for a small brewery third anniversary party. It was better than I could have ever imagined. Fig newtons.....that would be great. I bet it would taste like a Baltic Porter. |

As I grew up (in my late teens/early 20s) I’d grab a handful as I headed out the door to the deer woods. I dig em |

Aldi knock off Newton’s are awesome. Used to be like 79¢ a pack. I think they’re way up to like $1.19.

Yep, long time ago I did a service call to the Nabisco plant in Paramus, New Jersey. There was a Fig Newton line next to the equipment I was working on. Three lines of Newtons going a couple hundred foot long oven. They extruded the outer “cookie” with another extruder inserting the filling. Had a rotary knife cutting individual portions at the end. |
