      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.

    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.

    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"😁🌼🙏🌻🙏🥰💖🙏

    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.

    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.

    • @friedmandesigns
      @friedmandesigns 10 місяців тому

      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.
