Dried figs, or what might be in a fig newton, well... you're on your own on that one.

err, that's what I was most interested in... I've eaten an entire pack of fig newtons in one sitting.

The fig filling in fig newtons is crunch because it contains seeds. ;)

I always used to wonder why they would make the filling contain the hard crunchy part, which I really didn't like.

"I've eaten an entire biological micro-ecosystem in one sitting."

FTFY!

Glad I don't like fig newtons. :)

You are a biological micro-ecosystem. So eating one shouldn't really squick you out.

Just don't ever look at the germs in your mouth or the rest of your digestive system.

Cookies are a weakness of mine. It will be interesting to see if this puts me off of fig newtons... probably not. :)
