Fig Newtons. Generics are rip-offs.

Fig Newtons have always seemed a perfect waste of good figs to me. As to what is better, the series goes as follows:
Fresh fig > Date & fig bar > Real fig bars > Nabisco Fig Newton > Generic Fig Newton ripoffs

I must point out that many of the generic fig bars are actually very good. One brand I have tasted is actually quite similar to fig newton, but it costs way less.
[Edit]: Really, I prefer real fig bars, you know, the ones that actually have figs in them. They're just so freaking good. But they cost a lot more...

As do I. Too bad they've been discontinued. They tasted so damn good.

It's been years since my last fig. I personally try to avoid stuff with artificial stuff in them, cause i have my reasons, some know, plenty don't, but both kinds have plenty of artificial stuff in them. So it makes me wonder, why am i eating some rieces pieces when i am trying to avoid artificial stuff?

Well, I suppose running free really is the purpose of recess. I can't stand peanut butter anyway, so I've never eaten any of the Reeses products.
You should move to Ireland everyone hates peanut butter there!

I find it wierd to eat peanut butter. But put it with something, and it can get better.

I used to get peanut butter and jelly almost every day for school. I think by the end of that I'd had about enough. For some reason I don't have any revulsion to a plain jelly sandwich now, though.

I used to like PB&J alot too. THen one day, i suddenly found it kinda gross and revolting. Then i developed a liking for them again, but just didn't eat them too often. I think the last time i had PB&J was like a year ago.
