      Since the images of the figs are binarized too, I’m imagining a font fully made of figs from different angles. Uppercase letters would be whole figs, and lowercase would be figs cut in half like in the image.

      I mean, that article says it is true. It’s not a live or a whole wasp, but there is a wasp used to grow the fig. It’s just broken down in such a way that it’s impossible to distinguish the waspy bits from the figgy bits. Like when you eat nachos. Eventually, some part of you will be made of nachos, but it would be impossible to tell those parts apart from another other parts.

        Doctors estimate that I am approximately 8% nachos by now, but you’re right, we have a devil of a time distinguishing the nachos from all the non-nacho stuff that keeps me alive like blood and oxygen and Krokodil

        Yes, but we don’t say “your ham has a tuna hoagie in it” because someone tossed the pig a tuna hoagie one time.

      I was told as a child that the crunch was dead ants. Why any adult would ruin fig newtons for a kid is beyond me.

        a cookie is a cookie but a newton is fruit and cake!

        god these were such treasure as a child! I don’t think my children have even tried them but I sadly expect they might not love them the options are so much broader today.

        And my store is having a sale on them now how lovely if the kids hate them I am sure i will at least get the satisfaction of finding them having been enshittified since I last tried them a decade ago!
