a newton is a measure of weight, named after Sir Isaac Newton. Betcha didn't know that lol
Reply:The Fig Newton was created in 1891 by Joshua Josephson of the Kennedy Biscuit Company, a Massachusetts-based bakery. The company named many of their products after surrounding communities. The Fig Newton was named after nearby Newton, Massachusetts. It was first called simply the Newton, but in 1898 the name was changed to Fig Newton. (The Kennedy Biscuit Company merged with other regional bakeries in 1898 to form the National Biscuit Company, which later became Nabisco.)

"A Newton is not a cookie, it's fruit and cake!"
Reply:The brand of dessert that comprises "fig" Newtons. It's kind of like a fruit pastry, yet at the same time it's not. Ask the English, they made them up. That, and the "newton" is a measure of weight brought about by Sir Issac Newton.
Reply:Must be the soft cookie wrapped around the fig
Reply:The Fig Newton is a brand of fig bar (in Europe, fig roll), a soft, cake-like pastry filled with fig jam. A trademarked product of Nabisco, Fig Newtons originated in the United States and have since spread across the world
Reply:This doesn't have to do with fig newtons, but a newton is a unit of force equal to the force that imparts an acceleration of 1 m/sec/sec to a mass of 1 kilogram; equal to 100,000 dynes. LOL
