You went to that place on fig newtons? Were there no brownies lying about?

Fig Newtons? How can you eat those? EEEeeeeEEewww.

Karan: What place do you mean? Newton, Mass? I go there all the time, and I've never seen either a brownie or a Fig Newton lying about. They don't even make Newtons in Newton any more.

Educand: Are you SERIOUS? Fig Newtons are the best store-bought cookie EVAR.

2 is not enough and 8 is too many so I reckon 4 would be just right. Whatcha think?

Oh, sure. NOW she tells me.

I am in complete agreement with chapin; four is the optimal number of Fig Newtons.

I have been a life-long lover of the ooey-gooey rich-and-chewy inside, golden-cakey, tender-flakey outside treat. I know from whence I speak.

I'm with educand ... EW on the Fig Newton (ew ew ew)

Fig Newtons. Hmmm. Are they like martinis? "One is too many, two is not enough. Two I'm under the table, three I'm under the host."

Oreos and Milk are the best cookie combination....Why would I want to eat a cookie that might possibly contain something good for me?

I'm with educand and S(NSC)...yuck! Maybe one of those alternative-newtons? I just dont know. Oh...and Happy New Year. Sorry its late...I havent been to blogville in a while...

Fig Newtons are yummy. Well, the US version is, the Canadian version is weird. And, um, I can eat a whole pack (15 cookies?) in one sitting without blinking an eye nor a twitch in the tummy.

It's hard to know where to draw the line.

And hey, who would have guessed there were different versions of Fig Newtons in the US and Canada?

Where oh where has the Cynical one gone...
Oh where oh where could she be?

Hmm, sounds like a loss of consciousness kicks in after the second Fig Newton, and who knows where you'll end up.
