Wait, wait, what? Newtowns are fruit and cake?! I always thought that Fig Newtons were some kind of biscuit... From wikipedia: They were just trying to make it sound fancier, but it didn't really work other than to ingrain the slogan into people's heads.

I always pictures them to be jsut like jelly lollies. Like red frogs. I'm so never gonna be able to picture them as biscuits.

i adore fig newtons! they're so good! any flavor! i don't understand why claudia keeps them around, i always thought they were supposed to be thought of as a healthier alternative to cookies or something.

I've seen them too! They're called something else here, though I can't for the life of me remember the name. But I don't like them... the filling is way too sweet.

Twinkies were mentioned a lot. I've never completely understood what they are?

Twinkies are cream surrounded by a kind of yellow spongey cake. my uncle's friend used to work at a twinkie factory stuffing them with the cream and won the golden twinkie award for stuffing the most twinkies

twinkies are so gross. soggy "cake" with cream. and supposedly they'll pretty much never go bad because of all the preservatives and junk in them. yuck. i don't even think they taste good!

Does anyone remember the weird stuff Karen wanted to eat? My books are at my parent's house, so I'm not entirely sure what it was. But she wanted to eat something like witch pate, which were salty crackers with pate on them. I believe she asked Claudia to make them.
I do remember making them myself and realizing it actually wasn't all that bad...

i like pate--i don't think you eat on anything but crackers or very very crispy bread. i thought witch pate was like, peanut butter or something because watson didn't have pate. (What?! he's a real live millionaire and he didn't have pate?)

Pate is generally a kind of spreadable meat. I think I have always eaten the goose liver variety. We used to eat it when my grandparents came over as it is pretty common in eastern europe. I never understood what I was eating; if i had, I don't think I would have eaten it.
