Newtons de higo. All Nabisco products like all traitor companies have moved their manufacturing to Mexico. Never again will I buy anything from Nabisco. F them...
Where is the "lie" your click-bait title seeks to expose in this video? Why don't you delve into how Mondelez / Nabisco has taken a one-pound package over a couple decades and shrunk it to 10 ounces -- reducing Newtons by 38% in size and doubling their price? Absolutely vapid, garbage four minutes of video. Cheers.
They don't taste like they used to. They are using ingredients to make them them appear healthy and they taste like cardboard, if I new what cardboard tasted like. Not buying them anymore.
I only refer to them as FIG Newtons because I only buy the ones with figs. And they are still Fig Newtons. If they have different flavours, it's even more important that you call them Fig Newtons.
1:48 that's the former Nabisco bakery in Fair Lawn, NJ. Kraft parent Mondelez closed it last year after 63 years. They were still called Fig Newtons when production was moved elsewhere in the early 2000s. Another historic tidbit is when New York & American Biscuit merged to form the National Biscuit Company in 1898, it was popularly known as NBC. It didn't brand itself as Nabisco until 1952, by which time the upstart broadcaster was better known by those initials.
All zero Americans who ever thought Fig Newtons were named for Isaac Newton have reason to feel cheated out of their sense of self worth by this horrendous and vile “lie.” Now the healing begins!
I remember a day that I had asked my son to get some Fig Newtons on the way home. He called me and asked "which ones do you want." I was like wtf-are daft!!! The Fig Newtons, you know the cake/cookie thing. That's when he informed me they also had strawberry and apple. Ahhh Heck just get all the dam flavors. If we don't like them, they'll be bird food. The other flavors are okay....But, we still prefer the "FIG NEWTONS"😁🌼🙏🌻🙏🥰💖🙏
Even when they were advertising on his fruit and cake in many of the those commercials you could still see fruit chewy cookie written on the packaging.
Best bit of this vid is that the US or at least parts of it once used the word biscuit correctly - for what they now term just cookies rather then biscuit being some scone like concoction.
They shrunk the size of the cookie and the size of the package. A box used to be 1 pound and sold for $1.99. Now their “new and improved packaging” is 10 ounces. Nabisco is dead to me.
This was fun, seems to be an uptick too in people using fig jam, so a new market. I called them Fig Newtons too, who reads the package when it comes to cookies!
Recently, Tucker Carlson said he feared fig Newton's because of his love for them. That's when I decided I really liked them too. Fruit wrapped in a cake with a sweet fig filling and a cup of tea. Simply lovely and I'm not obsessed with them. Which means, I'm safe.
I never buy name brand candy or cookies because they're made out of garbage ingredients and have way too much sugar. I always get the organic version of these.
No idea they changed the name!! And, now that I know why, I may look for a different flavor lol. I always thought there was too much cake and not enough fruit anyway. Love your vids btw, always interesting even if Im not particularly a fan of the subject.
The Kennedy Biscuit Bakery also made cookies named after other Massachusetts towns: Beacon Hill, Harvard, and Shrewsbury...But the Fig Newtons were the most popular...
I call them fig bars! I fell in love with these cookies when we could buy a cheaper brand that didn't have the Newton name. I'm over half a century old and I loved them as a small child and an old woman. I plan on making them as soon as I get to a store that has figs fresh or dried!!! Man I love figs!
Yep -- and they're delicious. After brother and sister sibling wasps ( _look it up_ ) mate, sometimes they lose their wings on the way into a fig. If they die inside, they're completely dissolved by the fig's enzymes by the time it ripens / is picked. There are zero foods on Earth that are not made of something else that's dead. Cheers.
@@albertolewinton7545 crazy as it sounds but can freeze them after they cool down ziploc bags suck out the air, then put in oven at lowest temperature for a few minutes better than store bought, but mine never last long enough to freeze hahahaha
@@barbaragarner9192 I tried to bake some fresh cookies ,but for some reason they never come out right. In the last 10 years I have tried at least fifty cookie and cake recipes, all but one was a failure. That's why I'm still buying them at the store. You got baking skills, and I don't.
This recipe looks delicious👌👌 and so tampting, nicely❤️ prepared & well presented thoroughly enjoyed❤️ the whole process and absolutely love the end result, looks absolutely perfect & tasty👌👌, Big thanks for share.👍👍
Do you call them Newtons or Fig Newtons?

Either or
"It's not a cookie, it's fruit and cake"!
They don’t taste like they used to. So much so I stopped eating them.
They sure don't taste like tv he
I use to love these things, they go awesome with some cold milk.
I dont care about packaging- fig newtons are delicious. I also love keebler pecan sandies.
They have Bioengineered Food Products. I call them Bioengineered crap!

Nope sticking with the Figs. Haven’t had them in years but I got such delight in that ad back in HS. 🎶the big fig newton! One more time 🎶

I liked “Fig” Newtons better than just Newtons…. I still say it- no matter what flavor……

They’ll be Fig Newton’s to me. I’m to old to change now. 75!
I used to think they were made of chocolate. Then i got corrected and never ate one again

Sugarless Fig Newtons have yet to be invented.

Growing up, we never called them "figs".......
According to Sherm Potter on "Mash" Fig Newtons should be dunked in Scotch whisky. Actually an excellent combo.
They shrunk the size of the cookie and the size of the package. A box used to be 1 pound and sold for $1.99. Now their “new and improved packaging” is 10 ounces.

They do put fig newtons on some of their packages.
I miss the Apple ones.
Yea they were good. I liked those ones.
A lot of us do miss the apple ones.
I mean. They are still Fig Newtons if you get the fig ones. Apple Newtons rock, though.
I love eating fig Newtons, and don't care what the ingredients are. Just don't stop making them.
Used to love these, to bad there's no reduced sugar ones.
High fructose corn syrup...
make your own.
I never buy name brand candy or cookies because they're made out of garbage ingredients and have way too much sugar. I always get the organic version of these.
Ok boomer
@@giornogiovanna5235 it’s boomers that buy boomer brands. Young people don’t eat that garbage.
They've changed the recipe and in my opinion it's not for the better.
Wish they would make no sugar added
How do they get the figs inside the figrolls?
Some great videos on UA-cam. The basic machine that makes them has not changed much in 100 years.
No Fig??? It Figures!😁
No idea they changed the name!! And, now that I know why, I may look for a different flavor lol. I always thought there was too much cake and not enough fruit anyway. Love your vids btw, always interesting even if Im not particularly a fan of the subject.
Try the fat free variety. The cake plays less of a role imo.
@@holdernewtshesrearin5471 Oh ok, thats a really good idea, thanks!
I can't be the only one who wants that fig costume.
I miss Apple Newtons.
"Here comes the tricky part!"

Naw fig newtons they can do what they want. It’s forever fig newtons 😂
Fig Newton's are okay! Haven't had them in years!
Aldi's brand of fig newtons are the best imho
Got to try aldi's brand.
I call them fig bars! I fell in love with these cookies when we could buy a cheaper brand that didn't have the Newton name.

I still call them pig bars. No ever corrected me.
I love these. 💙
I read that figs are pollinated by wasps, and they're are wasps in the figs. So, you're eating wasp parts.
Yep -- and they're delicious. After brother and sister sibling wasps ( _look it up_ ) mate, sometimes they lose their wings on the way into a fig. If they die inside, they're completely dissolved by the fig's enzymes by the time it ripens / is picked. There are zero foods on Earth that are not made of something else that's dead. Cheers.
We dont GAF if you decide to change the language, they will ALWAYS be Fig Newtons.
Quite trying to make 'Fetch' happen.
According to Sherman T. Potter from the TV show Mash they go well with Scotch
i call them sheldon coopers.
my favorite 😍
That's it????
No matter what the flavor they're delicious
We've been trying to tell y'all.
Who believes they were named after Issac Newton?
I love them today
Fig Newtons are my favorite cookies.
fig bicuits
I've always hated fig newton's and those cookies on the shelves I can make home made better plus my house smells great
But can you bake enough for all of us cookie lovers?
@@albertolewinton7545 it won't be fig newton's they are the worst cookies, chocolate chip,peanutbutter, snickerdoodles,
@@barbaragarner9192 well said.

A “true fact……”
FIG ROLLS..NOT this American nonsense.
🔥😊
I always hated fig newtons. Gross.
I think Fig Newtons are one of the most disgusting cookies ever invented....they are mushy and stale tasting with grit in the filling.
