Inspired by Magnum, I recently got on a Fig Newton's kick, which I enjoy every so often anyway!
Here's Magnum "investigating" a gumdrop...

I came across a few others which I don't think have been mentioned. In the beginning of Did You See the Sunrise? (3.1) Magnum is eating popcorn while watching Stalag 17. And because popcorn alone can't provide all of the nutrients needed by an active adult male, Magnum has made the wise decision to supplement his popcorn with what appears to be Gumdrops.

I've always loved Fig Newtons. They taste great and are low in fat. I just can't dip them in milk like Magnum does.

HEY! TM DOES eat veggies, what about the zucchini sticks he shares on the stairway with his nephew at his Grandfather's funeral in Going Home?

I know he ordered a baked potato at the end of "Texas Lightning".

.. I just can`t dip them in milk like Magnum does
remember IKWYT, he has to dip them, cause his are stale, he keeps them in a bowl in his refridgerator

Good point Carmen. I keep mine in a nice air tight Tuperware dish. The last one is just as tasty and fresh as is the first one out of the package.

It was TS talking to TC right before their on on one in "Basket Case" I think TC was trash talking the Naval academy as a basketball "powerhouse"As I recall, didn't someone, maybe Rick or TM refer to it as Grumbling because TC was grumbling about something at the time?

I love it when shows add their own brand names and this is another funny one. I couldn't help but laugh at the unique title of Mrs. Perroni's pizza. Makes me laugh as much as Macho Taco or Ahi Sushi.
I wish they actually "said" Coops Beer, not just "show" it.

I wish we had been shown a good look at the Old Dusseldorf label.

Funny how this thread got bumped back up when I just bought some Fig Newtons this past sunday! I'd forgotten! Now I can't wait to get started on them!

I'm down to my last few and will have to replenish when I grocery shop this weekend.

At the end of "Little Games" Thomas orders: an 18 ounce New York charred rare with baked potato skins and some extra parsley (so he did eat something green 
)

Hey, rubber chicken!
I've always thought that TM was eating Dots while he was watching Stalag 17. And that he's SO SMART because if he holds them up like that, he can see which flavor it's going to be...without missing any of the movie!!
What do you think?

That's quite a theory Agatha! I'm not as familiar with Dots ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dots_(candy) ) as as I am with Gumdrops, but they do look similar.
I went back and got a few closeups of the box. I think the key to putting this crucial mystery to rest, would be to find out what kind of box it is, if possible.
Is that a red Nabisco logo on the lower corner? Hard to say. Did Nibisco make gumdrops? The wiki page for gumdrops doesn't say anything about a company owning the gumdrop trademark. The wiki page for Dots says that brand was acquired by Tootsie Roll in 1972. Could that be a box made by the Tootsie Roll company?
So many questions, so few answers.
