Sorry, Nomad......but I thought the song went,"Your'e darn tootin', I love Fig Newtons." Thats the commercial I remember anyway.

PS. When I was a child in Chicago, I did meet little Oscar of Oscar Meyer Weinermobile fame.

That's right. Because most of the time, nobody gives a fig anymore.

This is going to hurt.

It pains me to print a retraction.

My Federal officer acqauintance whom I believed to be the fig newton guy was false information.

In reality he did a crunchy granola bar commercial.

Am I disappointed ? Yes of course I am. Will he continue to be my friend ? I just dont know right now, wounds will have to heal.

Im sorry for getting everyone excited and I hate having to let you down.

Well survive Nomie. :p I hope you still keep him as a friend a "crunchy granola bar commercial" isn't bad.
