Fig Newtons

I don't even like figs that much, honest! But here's another classic fig treat. These are classic for me because they're vaguely healthy, so my parents had 'em around when I was a kiddo, and also because they don't have any nuts, so they are one of the rare cookies I can eat off the shelves. I always liked them fairly well -- they're filling! But this time I thought, dang, these are really sweet -- did they make them sweeter? Is this just aging?! They're good(ish), but maybe too sweet for my blood.

Overall
Cost: 5/10
Taste: 6/10

Sweet Peach and Apricot Fig Newtons

I always liked fig newtons, and I like fruit, so I thought I'd give these suckers a try. HOWEVER, they aren't very good!! I definitely prefer the originals -- the filling is weirdly sweet and sticky, and a little too mushy. It also doesn't taste much like real fruit. Oh well!

Cost: 5/10
Taste: 4/10
