Happy Fig Newton Day - January 16
The Fig Newton is a brand of fig bar, a soft, cake-like pastry filled with fig jam.
The Fig Newton was created in 1891 by Charles M. Roser 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.

Just goes to show you what happens when you put all your eggs in one basket.
Prestigious awards like "invention of the year" get passed over.
