Mrs. Olsen: I miss the days before they put fig newtons in resealable packages. Girl: If that's nostalgia, she didn't do the past right. Frazz: Don't be too sure. A properly stale newton is a delicacy.
I bought some Fig Newtons a few weeks ago, and the bag wasn’t resealable.
Hmmmm…. so just how old were they?
Actually I have a friend who likes those flat, chocolate-covered marshmallow Santas better when they’re stale.
Years ago they sold them from open boxes on the counter so they were often hard and chewy by Christmas.
The modern sealed plastic wrappers have ruined them for her. Takes two years to age them properly.
I am NOT kidding.
