What is a Newton?
So I was about to bottle some homebrew with my friend who brews with me, when i mention an old Fig Newton ad campaign from the late 80's or early 90's. I said that the ad said one thing, he said another. The debate has raged on and on. A version of the commercial (at 4:47) was found but it didn't solve the debate. Nabisco was emailed but didn't have the answer. The argument/debate rages on.
So how do you complete the statement "A cookie is just a cookie, but newtons are ..."
I know this isn't concrete, but the answers should be fun.

This post was deleted for the following reason: Aside from the "fruit and cake" gimme, "I know this isn't concrete, but the answers should be fun" is pretty much chatfilter territory. -- cortex
"Fruit and cake."

the force required to accelerate a kilo at a rate of one meter per second per second. and they're delicious.

The commercial in your link says 'fruit and cake.' Maybe I don't understand your question?

I can't think of any possibility besides "fruit and cake".

I'm sorry. I'm a little confused why finding the commercial didn't solve the debate? That evidence actually does seem kind of concrete to me...

...fruit and cake.
What's the debate?
11. A cookie is just a cookie, but Newtons are fruit and cake.
as mentioned in the YouTube description of the commercial.

Early handheld computers from Apple. I have two stashed in a closet. When the world goes all "The Road" on us you guys will be cursing your useless iPhones, but I'll be tapping away at my screen and writing myself notes that will automagically get translated into text!

Uhhh, yeah, and it's also defined as "that force necessary to provide a mass of one kilogram with an acceleration of one metre per second per second." But that doesn't seem to have anything to do with the newton that is fruit and cake. So I'm still confused whither this debate exists.
