fig newtons

I've never seen this cookie mentioned in a thread...they aren't bad for you, fat-free and it has a fruit filling.

Have you had these OT? (I'm more curious about GS users outside of the US).

I've had them under a different name. Those things been around for years. Not that keen on them personally, I taste the suger too much in the filling.

You know, people who work out or are dieting look for fat-free stuff...it's a heavily-marketed term.

Yes. We just call them Fig Rolls in the UK though, and there are loads of brands.

National Biscuit Company...I was curious if any U.S. food companies sold in your markets - like Coca-Cola for instance.

Those are the best cookies ever made. I can eat an entire pack of them in one sitting.

I've had some cookies abroad that were somewhat similar, though not completely like a Newton known as Garibaldisand Flies Graveyard. They were pretty good, but I believe I prefer Newtons.

Who would reffer to a cookie as "flies graveyard" That's--what would possess you to eat them?

Well I'm from the USA... but for the record I do not like Fig Newtons. They're not terrible, I can eat them and they're ok... but it definitely isn't my first choice, or my second, or my tenth.
