.SignatureSir Isaac Newton (25 December 1642 – 20 March ) was an English, and (described in his own day as a ') who is widely recognised as one of the most influential scientists of all time, and a key figure in the. His book ( Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy), first published in 1687, laid the foundations of.

Newton's inference that the Earth is an was later confirmed by the geodetic measurements of, and others, convincing most European scientists of the superiority of Newtonian mechanics over earlier systems.Newton built the and developed a sophisticated theory of colour based on the observation that a separates into the colours of the. His work on light was collected in his highly influential book, published in 1704.
He also formulated an, made the first theoretical calculation of the, and introduced the notion of a. In addition to his work on calculus, as a mathematician Newton contributed to the study of power series, generalised the to non-integer exponents, developed for approximating the, and classified most of the.Newton was a fellow of and the second at the. He was a devout but unorthodox Christian who privately rejected the doctrine of the. Unusually for a member of the Cambridge faculty of the day, he refused to take in the. Beyond his work on the mathematical sciences, Newton dedicated much of his time to the study of and, but most of his work in those areas remained unpublished until long after his death.
Politically and personally tied to the, Newton served two brief terms as, in 1689–90 and 1701–02. He was by in 1705 and spent the last three decades of his life in London, serving as (1696–1700) and (1700–1727) of the, as well as president of the (1703–1727).Isaac Newton was born (according to the, in use in England at the time) on Christmas Day, 25 December 1642 ( 4 January 1643 ) 'an hour or two after midnight', at in, a in the county of Lincolnshire. His father, also named Isaac Newton, had died three months before., Newton was a small child; his mother Hannah Ayscough reportedly said that he could have fit inside a mug.

When Newton was three, his mother remarried and went to live with her new husband, the Reverend Barnabas Smith, leaving her son in the care of his maternal grandmother, Margery Ayscough. Newton disliked his stepfather and maintained some enmity towards his mother for marrying him, as revealed by this entry in a list of sins committed up to the age of 19: 'Threatening my father and mother Smith to burn them and the house over them.' Newton's mother had three children from her second marriage.From the age of about twelve until he was seventeen, Newton was educated at, which taught Latin and Greek and probably imparted a significant foundation of mathematics. He was removed from school, and returned to Woolsthorpe-by-Colsterworth by October 1659. His mother, widowed for the second time, attempted to make him a farmer, an occupation he hated. Henry Stokes, master at The King's School, persuaded his mother to send him back to school. Motivated partly by a desire for revenge against a schoolyard bully, he became the top-ranked student, distinguishing himself mainly by building and models of windmills.In June 1661, he was admitted to, on the recommendation of his uncle Rev William Ayscough, who had studied there.
He started as a —paying his way by performing 's duties—until he was awarded a scholarship in 1664, guaranteeing him four more years until he could get his. At that time, the college's teachings were based on those of, whom Newton supplemented with modern philosophers such as, and such as and, through whom he learned of 's work. He set down in his notebook a series of ' about as he found it. In 1665, he discovered the generalised and began to develop a mathematical theory that later became. Soon after Newton had obtained his BA degree in August 1665, the university temporarily closed as a precaution against the. Although he had been undistinguished as a Cambridge student, Newton's private studies at his home in Woolsthorpe over the subsequent two years saw the development of his theories on, and the.In April 1667, he returned to Cambridge and in October was elected as a fellow of Trinity.
Fellows were required to become ordained priests, although this was not enforced in the restoration years and an assertion of conformity to the Church of England was sufficient. However, by 1675 the issue could not be avoided and by then his unconventional views stood in the way. Nevertheless, Newton managed to avoid it by means of a special permission from.His studies had impressed the, who was more anxious to develop his own religious and administrative potential (he became master of Trinity two years later); in 1669 Newton succeeded him, only one year after receiving his MA. He was elected a. Middle years Mathematics.
Sir Isaac NewtonNewton's work has been said 'to distinctly advance every branch of mathematics then studied.' His work on the subject usually referred to as fluxions or calculus, seen in a manuscript of October 1666, is now published among Newton's mathematical papers. The author of the manuscript, sent by to in June 1669, was identified by Barrow in a letter sent to Collins in August of that year as '. of an extraordinary genius and proficiency in these things.' Newton later became involved in a dispute with over priority in the development of calculus (the ).
Most modern historians believe that Newton and Leibniz developed calculus independently, although with very different. Occasionally it has been suggested that Newton published almost nothing about it until 1693, and did not give a full account until 1704, while Leibniz began publishing a full account of his methods in 1684.
Leibniz's notation and 'differential Method', nowadays recognised as much more convenient notations, were adopted by continental European mathematicians, and after 1820 or so, also by British mathematicians. Such a suggestion fails to account for the calculus in of Newton's Principia itself and in its forerunner manuscripts, such as of 1684; this content has been pointed out by critics of both Newton's time and modern times. His work extensively uses calculus in geometric form based on limiting values of the ratios of vanishingly small quantities: in the Principia itself, Newton gave demonstration of this under the name of 'the method of first and last ratios' and explained why he put his expositions in this form, remarking also that 'hereby the same thing is performed as by the method of indivisibles.' Because of this, the Principia has been called 'a book dense with the theory and application of the infinitesimal calculus' in modern times and in Newton's time 'nearly all of it is of this calculus.' His use of methods involving 'one or more orders of the infinitesimally small' is present in his De motu corporum in gyrum of 1684 and in his papers on motion 'during the two decades preceding 1684'. Newton in 1702 byNewton had been reluctant to publish his calculus because he feared controversy and criticism. He was close to the Swiss mathematician.
In 1691, Duillier started to write a new version of Newton's Principia, and corresponded with Leibniz. In 1693, the relationship between Duillier and Newton deteriorated and the book was never completed. Starting in 1699, other members of the accused Leibniz of plagiarism. The dispute then broke out in full force in 1711 when the Royal Society proclaimed in a study that it was Newton who was the true discoverer and labelled Leibniz a fraud; it was later found that Newton wrote the study's concluding remarks on Leibniz.
Thus began the bitter controversy which marred the lives of both Newton and Leibniz until the latter's death in 1716.Newton is generally credited with the, valid for any exponent. He discovered, classified ( of degree three in two ), made substantial contributions to the theory of, and was the first to use fractional indices and to employ to derive solutions to. He approximated sums of the by (a precursor to ) and was the first to use with confidence and to revert power series. Newton's work on infinite series was inspired by 's decimals.When Newton received his MA and became a Fellow of the 'College of the Holy and Undivided Trinity' in 1667, he made the commitment that 'I will either set Theology as the object of my studies and will take holy orders when the time prescribed by these statutes 7 years arrives, or I will resign from the college.' Up until this point he had not thought much about religion and had twice signed his agreement to the, the basis of doctrine.He was appointed in 1669, on Barrow's recommendation. During that time, any Fellow of a college at Cambridge or Oxford was required to take and become an ordained priest. However, the terms of the Lucasian professorship required that the holder not be active in the church – presumably so as to have more time for science.
Newton argued that this should exempt him from the ordination requirement, and, whose permission was needed, accepted this argument. Thus a conflict between Newton's religious views and Anglican orthodoxy was averted. Replica of Newton's second, which he presented to the in 1672In 1666, Newton observed that the spectrum of colours exiting a in the position of is oblong, even when the light ray entering the prism is circular, which is to say, the prism refracts different colours by different angles.
This led him to conclude that colour is a property intrinsic to light—a point which had been debated in prior years.From 1670 to 1672, Newton lectured on optics. During this period he investigated the of light, demonstrating that the multicoloured spectrum produced by a prism could be recomposed into white light by a and a second prism. Modern scholarship has revealed that Newton's analysis and resynthesis of white light owes a debt to alchemy.He showed that coloured light does not change its properties by separating out a coloured beam and shining it on various objects, and that regardless of whether reflected, scattered, or transmitted, the light remains the same colour. Thus, he observed that colour is the result of objects interacting with already-coloured light rather than objects generating the colour themselves.
This is known as. Illustration of a separating white light into the colours of the spectrum, as discovered by NewtonFrom this work, he concluded that the lens of any would suffer from the of light into colours. As a proof of the concept, he constructed a telescope using reflective mirrors instead of lenses as the to bypass that problem. Building the design, the first known functional reflecting telescope, today known as a, involved solving the problem of a suitable mirror material and shaping technique. Newton ground his own mirrors out of a custom composition of highly reflective, using to judge the of the optics for his telescopes.
In late 1668, he was able to produce this first reflecting telescope. It was about eight inches long and it gave a clearer and larger image. In 1671, the Royal Society asked for a demonstration of his reflecting telescope. Their interest encouraged him to publish his notes, Of Colours, which he later expanded into the work.
When criticised some of Newton's ideas, Newton was so offended that he withdrew from public debate. Newton and Hooke had brief exchanges in 1679–80, when Hooke, appointed to manage the Royal Society's correspondence, opened up a correspondence intended to elicit contributions from Newton to Royal Society transactions, which had the effect of stimulating Newton to work out a proof that the elliptical form of planetary orbits would result from a centripetal force inversely proportional to the square of the radius vector. But the two men remained generally on poor terms until Hooke's death. Facsimile of a 1682 letter from Isaac Newton to Dr, commenting on Briggs' A New Theory of Vision.Newton argued that light is composed of particles or corpuscles, which were refracted by accelerating into a denser medium. He verged on soundlike waves to explain the repeated pattern of reflection and transmission by thin films (Opticks Bk.II, Props. 12), but still retained his theory of 'fits' that disposed corpuscles to be reflected or transmitted (Props.13).
However, later physicists favoured a purely wavelike explanation of light to account for the patterns and the general phenomenon of. Today's, and the idea of bear only a minor resemblance to Newton's understanding of light.In his Hypothesis of Light of 1675, Newton the existence of the to transmit forces between particles.
The contact with the philosopher revived his interest in alchemy. He replaced the ether with occult forces based on ideas of attraction and repulsion between particles., who acquired many of Newton's writings on alchemy, stated that 'Newton was not the first of the age of reason: He was the last of the magicians.' Newton's interest in alchemy cannot be isolated from his contributions to science. This was at a time when there was no clear distinction between alchemy and science. Had he not relied on the idea of, across a vacuum, he might not have developed his theory of gravity.In 1704, Newton published, in which he expounded his corpuscular theory of light. He considered light to be made up of extremely subtle corpuscles, that ordinary matter was made of grosser corpuscles and speculated that through a kind of alchemical transmutation 'Are not gross Bodies and Light convertible into one another,. And may not Bodies receive much of their Activity from the Particles of Light which enter their Composition?'
Newton also constructed a primitive form of a frictional, using a glass globe.In his book Opticks, Newton was the first to show a diagram using a prism as a beam expander, and also the use of multiple-prism arrays. Some 278 years after Newton's discussion, became central to the development of. Also, the use of these prismatic beam expanders led to the.Subsequent to Newton, much has been amended. And combined Newton's particle theory with wave theory to show that colour is the visible manifestation of light's wavelength. Science also slowly came to realise the difference between perception of colour and mathematisable optics. The German poet and scientist, could not shake the Newtonian foundation but 'one hole Goethe did find in Newton's armour,. Newton had committed himself to the doctrine that refraction without colour was impossible.
He therefore thought that the object-glasses of telescopes must for ever remain imperfect, achromatism and refraction being incompatible. This inference was proved by to be wrong.' Newton's own copy of his, with hand-written corrections for the second edition, in the at.In 1679, Newton returned to his work on by considering gravitation and its effect on the orbits of with reference to of planetary motion. This followed stimulation by a brief exchange of letters in 1679–80 with Hooke, who had been appointed to manage the Royal Society's correspondence, and who opened a correspondence intended to elicit contributions from Newton to Royal Society transactions.
Newton's reawakening interest in astronomical matters received further stimulus by the appearance of a comet in the winter of 1680–1681, on which he corresponded with. After the exchanges with Hooke, Newton worked out proof that the elliptical form of planetary orbits would result from a centripetal force inversely proportional to the square of the radius vector. Newton communicated his results to and to the Royal Society in, a tract written on about nine sheets which was copied into the Royal Society's Register Book in December 1684. This tract contained the nucleus that Newton developed and expanded to form the Principia.The was published on 5 July 1687 with encouragement and financial help from.
In this work, Newton stated the three universal laws of motion. Together, these laws describe the relationship between any object, the forces acting upon it and the resulting motion, laying the foundation for. They contributed to many advances during the which soon followed and were not improved upon for more than 200 years. Many of these advancements continue to be the underpinnings of non-relativistic technologies in the modern world. He used the Latin word gravitas (weight) for the effect that would become known as, and defined the law of. In the same work, Newton presented a calculus-like method of geometrical analysis using 'first and last ratios', gave the first analytical determination (based on ) of the speed of sound in air, inferred the oblateness of Earth's spheroidal figure, accounted for the precession of the equinoxes as a result of the Moon's gravitational attraction on the Earth's oblateness, initiated the gravitational study of the, provided a theory for the determination of the orbits of comets, and much more.
Newton made clear his view of the Solar System—developed in a somewhat modern way, because already in the mid-1680s he recognised the 'deviation of the Sun' from the centre of gravity of the Solar System. For Newton, it was not precisely the centre of the Sun or any other body that could be considered at rest, but rather 'the common centre of gravity of the Earth, the Sun and all the Planets is to be esteem'd the Centre of the World', and this centre of gravity 'either is at rest or moves uniformly forward in a right line' (Newton adopted the 'at rest' alternative in view of common consent that the centre, wherever it was, was at rest).Newton's postulate of an invisible led to him being criticised for introducing ' agencies' into science. Later, in the second edition of the Principia (1713), Newton firmly rejected such criticisms in a concluding, writing that it was enough that the phenomena implied a gravitational attraction, as they did; but they did not so far indicate its cause, and it was both unnecessary and improper to frame hypotheses of things that were not implied by the phenomena.

The knighthood is likely to have been motivated by political considerations connected with the in May 1705, rather than any recognition of Newton's scientific work or services as Master of the Mint. Newton was the second scientist to be knighted, after Sir.As a result of a report written by Newton on 21 September 1717 to the Lords Commissioners of His Majesty's Treasury, the bimetallic relationship between gold coins and silver coins was changed by Royal proclamation on 22 December 1717, forbidding the exchange of gold guineas for more than 21 silver shillings. This inadvertently resulted in a silver shortage as silver coins were used to pay for imports, while exports were paid for in gold, effectively moving Britain from the to its first. It is a matter of debate as to whether he intended to do this or not. It has been argued that Newton conceived of his work at the Mint as a continuation of his alchemical work.Newton was one of many people who lost heavily when the collapsed circa 1720. Their most significant trade was slaves, and according to his niece, he lost around £20,000.Toward the end of his life, Newton took up residence at, near with his niece and her husband, until his death in 1727.

His body was buried in. May have been present at his funeral. A bachelor, he had divested much of his estate to relatives during his last years, and died.
His papers went to John Conduitt and Catherine Barton. After his death, Newton's hair was examined and found to contain, probably resulting from his alchemical pursuits. Could explain Newton's eccentricity in late life. Personal relationsAlthough it was claimed that he was once engaged, Newton never married. The French writer and philosopher, who was in London at the time of Newton's funeral, said that he 'was never sensible to any passion, was not subject to the common frailties of mankind, nor had any commerce with women—a circumstance which was assured me by the physician and surgeon who attended him in his last moments'.
The widespread belief that he died a has been commented on by writers such as mathematician, economist, and physicist.Newton had a close friendship with the Swiss mathematician, whom he met in London around 1689 —some of their correspondence has survived. Their relationship came to an abrupt and unexplained end in 1693, and at the same time Newton suffered a which included sending wild accusatory letters to his friends and —his note to the latter included the charge that Locke 'endeavoured to embroil me with woemen'. Newton's tomb monument inThe mathematician said that Newton was the greatest genius who ever lived, and once added that Newton was also 'the most fortunate, for we cannot find more than once a system of the world to establish.' English poet wrote the famous:Nature and nature's laws lay hid in night;God said 'Let Newton be' and all was light.Newton was relatively modest about his achievements, writing in a letter to in February 1676:If I have seen further it is by.Two writers think that the above quotation, written at a time when Newton and Hooke were in dispute over optical discoveries, was an oblique attack on Hooke (said to have been short and hunchbacked), rather than—or in addition to—a statement of modesty. Newton statue on display at theNewton's monument (1731) can be seen in, at the north of the entrance to the choir against the choir screen, near his tomb.
It was executed by the sculptor (1694–1770) in white and grey marble with design by the architect. The monument features a figure of Newton reclining on top of a sarcophagus, his right elbow resting on several of his great books and his left hand pointing to a scroll with a mathematical design. Above him is a pyramid and a celestial globe showing the signs of the Zodiac and the path of the comet of 1680. A relief panel depicts using instruments such as a telescope and prism. The Latin inscription on the base translates as:Here is buried Isaac Newton, Knight, who by a strength of mind almost divine, and mathematical principles peculiarly his own, explored the course and figures of the planets, the paths of comets, the tides of the sea, the dissimilarities in rays of light, and, what no other scholar has previously imagined, the properties of the colours thus produced. Diligent, sagacious and faithful, in his expositions of nature, antiquity and the holy Scriptures, he vindicated by his philosophy the majesty of God mighty and good, and expressed the simplicity of the Gospel in his manners. Mortals rejoice that there has existed such and so great an ornament of the human race!
He was born on 25 December 1642, and died on 20 March 1726/7.—Translation from G.L.

Newton 'recognized Christ as a divine mediator between God and man, who was subordinate to the Father who created him.' He was especially interested in prophecy, but for him, 'the was trinitarianism.' Newton tried unsuccessfully to obtain one of the two fellowships that exempted the holder from the ordination requirement. At the last moment in 1675 he received a dispensation from the government that excused him and all future holders of the Lucasian chair.In Newton's eyes, worshipping Christ as God was, to him the fundamental sin. Historian says, 'Isaac Newton was a. He never made a public declaration of his private faith—which the orthodox would have deemed extremely radical. He hid his faith so well that scholars are still unravelling his personal beliefs.'
Snobelen concludes that Newton was at least a sympathiser (he owned and had thoroughly read at least eight Socinian books), possibly an and almost certainly an.In a minority position, T.C. Pfizenmaier offers a more nuanced view, arguing that Newton held closer to the view of the Trinity that was of a 'similar substance' from the Father rather than the orthodox view that Jesus Christ is of the 'same substance' of the Father as endorsed by modern Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholics and Protestants. However, this type of view 'has lost support of late with the availability of Newton's theological papers', and now most scholars identify Newton as an.Although the laws of motion and universal gravitation became Newton's best-known discoveries, he warned against using them to view the Universe as a mere machine, as if akin to a great clock. He said, 'Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who set the planets in motion. God governs all things and knows all that is or can be done.' Along with his scientific fame, Newton's studies of the Bible and of the early were also noteworthy. Newton wrote works on, most notably and Observations upon the Prophecies of Daniel, and the Apocalypse of St.

He placed the crucifixion of at 3 April, AD 33, which agrees with one traditionally accepted date.He believed in a rationally world, but he rejected the implicit in. The ordered and dynamically informed Universe could be understood, and must be understood, by an active reason. In his correspondence, Newton claimed that in writing the Principia 'I had an eye upon such Principles as might work with considering men for the belief of a Deity'. He saw evidence of design in the system of the world: 'Such a wonderful uniformity in the planetary system must be allowed the effect of choice'. But Newton insisted that divine intervention would eventually be required to reform the system, due to the slow growth of instabilities. For this, Leibniz lampooned him: 'God Almighty wants to wind up his watch from time to time: otherwise it would cease to move. He had not, it seems, sufficient foresight to make it a perpetual motion.'
Newton's position was vigorously defended by his follower in a. A century later, 's work ' had a natural explanation for why the planet orbits do not require periodic divine intervention.Scholars long debated whether Newton disputed the doctrine of the. His first biographer, who compiled his manuscripts, interpreted Newton as questioning the veracity of some passages used to support the Trinity, but never denying the doctrine of the Trinity as such.
In the twentieth century, encrypted manuscripts written by Newton and bought by (among others) were deciphered and it became known that Newton did indeed reject Trinitarianism. Effect on religious thought. By; here, Newton is depicted critically as a 'divine geometer'.
This copy of the work is currently held by the.Newton and 's approach to the was promoted by pamphleteers as a viable alternative to the and, and was accepted hesitantly by orthodox preachers as well as dissident preachers like the. The clarity and simplicity of science was seen as a way to combat the emotional and superlatives of both enthusiasm and the threat of, and at the same time, the second wave of English used Newton's discoveries to demonstrate the possibility of a 'Natural Religion'.The attacks made against pre- 'magical thinking', and the, were given their foundation with Boyle's mechanical conception of the Universe.
Newton gave Boyle's ideas their completion through and, perhaps more importantly, was very successful in popularising them. See also: andIn a manuscript he wrote in 1704 (never intended to be published) he mentions the date of 2060, but it is not given as a date for the end of days. It has been falsely reported as a prediction. The passage is clear, when the date is read in context. He was against date setting for the end of days, concerned that this would put Christianity into disrepute.' So then the time times & half a time are 42 months or 1260 days or three years & an half, recconing twelve months to a year & 30 days to a month as was done in the Calender of the primitive year.
And the days of short lived Beasts being put for the years of long-lived kingdoms the period of 1260 days, if dated from the complete conquest of the three kings A.C. 800, will end 2060. It may end later, but I see no reason for its ending sooner.'
'This I mention not to assert when the time of the end shall be, but to put a stop to the rash conjectures of fanciful men who are frequently predicting the time of the end, and by doing so bring the sacred prophesies into discredit as often as their predictions fail. Christ comes as a thief in the night, and it is not for us to know the times and seasons which God hath put into his own breast.' AlchemyIn the character of Morton Opperly in 'Poor Superman' (1951), speculative fiction author says of Newton, 'Everyone knows Newton as the great scientist. Few remember that he spent half his life muddling with alchemy, looking for the. That was the pebble by the seashore he really wanted to find.' Of an estimated ten million words of writing in Newton's papers, about one million deal with. Many of Newton's writings on alchemy are copies of other manuscripts, with his own annotations.
Alchemical texts mix artisanal knowledge with philosophical speculation, often hidden behind layers of wordplay, allegory, and imagery to protect craft secrets. Some of the content contained in Newton's papers could have been considered heretical by the church.In 1888, after spending sixteen years cataloging Newton's papers, Cambridge University kept a small number and returned the rest to the Earl of Portsmouth. In 1936, a descendant offered the papers for sale at Sotheby's. The collection was broken up and sold for a total of about £9,000.
Was one of about three dozen bidders who obtained part of the collection at auction. Keynes went on to reassemble an estimated half of Newton's collection of papers on alchemy before donating his collection to Cambridge University in 1946.All of Newton's known writings on alchemy are currently being put online in a project undertaken by: 'The Chymistry of Isaac Newton' and summarised in a book.Newton's fundamental contributions to science include the quantification of gravitational attraction, the discovery that white light is actually a mixture of immutable spectral colors, and the formulation of the calculus. Yet there is another, more mysterious side to Newton that is imperfectly known, a realm of activity that spanned some thirty years of his life, although he kept it largely hidden from his contemporaries and colleagues. We refer to Newton's involvement in the discipline of alchemy, or as it was often called in seventeenth-century England, 'chymistry.'
Disputes that Newton ever practiced alchemy, saying that 'his chemistry was in the spirit of Boyle's corpuscular philosphy.' Enlightenment philosophersphilosophers chose a short history of scientific predecessors—Galileo, Boyle, and Newton principally—as the guides and guarantors of their applications of the singular concept of and to every physical and social field of the day.
In this respect, the lessons of history and the social structures built upon it could be discarded.It was Newton's conception of the universe based upon natural and rationally understandable laws that became one of the seeds for Enlightenment ideology. Locke and applied concepts of natural law to political systems advocating intrinsic rights; the and applied natural conceptions of and self-interest to economic systems; and criticised the current for trying to fit history into natural models of. And resisted elements of Newton's work, but eventually rationalised it to conform with their strong religious views of nature.Apple incident. Reputed descendants of Newton's (from top to bottom) at, the, and the library garden in Argentina.Newton himself often told the story that he was inspired to formulate his theory of gravitation by watching the fall of an apple from a tree. Although it has been said that the apple story is a myth and that he did not arrive at his theory of gravity in any single moment, acquaintances of Newton (such as, whose manuscript account of 1752 has been made available by the Royal Society) do in fact confirm the incident, though not the apocryphal version that the apple actually hit Newton's head. Stukeley recorded in his Memoirs of Sir Isaac Newton's Life a conversation with Newton in Kensington on 15 April 1726:we went into the garden, & drank thea under the shade of some appletrees, only he, & myself. Amidst other discourse, he told me, he was just in the same situation, as when formerly, the notion of gravitation came into his mind.
'why should that apple always descend perpendicularly to the ground,' thought he to him self: occasion'd by the fall of an apple, as he sat in a comtemplative mood: 'why should it not go sideways, or upwards? But constantly to the earths centre? Assuredly, the reason is, that the earth draws it. There must be a drawing power in matter. & the sum of the drawing power in the matter of the earth must be in the earths center, not in any side of the earth. Therefore dos this apple fall perpendicularly, or toward the center. If matter thus draws matter; it must be in proportion of its quantity.
Therefore the apple draws the earth, as well as the earth draws the apple.' John Conduitt, Newton's assistant at the Royal Mint and husband of Newton's niece, also described the event when he wrote about Newton's life:In the year 1666 he retired again from Cambridge to his mother in Lincolnshire. Whilst he was pensively meandering in a garden it came into his thought that the power of gravity (which brought an apple from a tree to the ground) was not limited to a certain distance from earth, but that this power must extend much further than was usually thought. Why not as high as the Moon said he to himself & if so, that must influence her motion & perhaps retain her in her orbit, whereupon he fell a calculating what would be the effect of that supposition.In similar terms, wrote in his Essay on Epic Poetry (1727), 'Sir Isaac Newton walking in his gardens, had the first thought of his system of gravitation, upon seeing an apple falling from a tree.' It is known from his notebooks that Newton was grappling in the late 1660s with the idea that terrestrial gravity extends, in an inverse-square proportion, to the Moon; however it took him two decades to develop the full-fledged theory.
The question was not whether gravity existed, but whether it extended so far from Earth that it could also be the force holding the Moon to its orbit. Newton showed that if the force decreased as the inverse square of the distance, one could indeed calculate the Moon's orbital period, and get good agreement. He guessed the same force was responsible for other orbital motions, and hence named it 'universal gravitation'.Various trees are claimed to be 'the' apple tree which Newton describes. The claims that the tree was purchased by the school, uprooted and transported to the headmaster's garden some years later. The staff of the (now) -owned dispute this, and claim that a tree present in their gardens is the one described by Newton.
A descendant of the original tree can be seen growing outside the main gate of Trinity College, Cambridge, below the room Newton lived in when he studied there. The at in Kent can supply grafts from their tree, which appears identical to, a coarse-fleshed cooking variety. Newton, Isaac.

At Newton's birth, Gregorian dates were ten days ahead of Julian dates: thus his birth is recorded as taking place on 25 December 1642 Old Style, but can be converted to a New Style (modern) date of 4 January 1643.
By the time of his death, the difference between the calendars had increased to eleven days: moreover, he died in the period after the start of the New Style year on 1 January, but before that of the Old Style new year on 25 March. His death occurred on 20 March 1726 according to the Old Style calendar, but the year is usually adjusted to 1727. A full conversion to New Style gives the date 31 March 1727.
This claim was made by in 1727, in a letter about Newton written to., who in the late eighteenth century collected oral traditions about earlier scientists, declared that there 'do not appear to be any sufficient reason for his never marrying, if he had an inclination so to do. It is much more likely that he had a constitutional indifference to the state, and even to the sex in general.' Rouse (1908). A Short Account of the History of Mathematics. New York: Dover.

.I've been shopping at Aldi for our weekly groceries for over half a year. Along the way, I've picked up a few best practices. For example, buying for two or more weeks at a time saves us time and money on shelf-stable foods like tortillas, spaghetti, and canned goods. I love Aldi's selection of price-friendly cheeses, Greek yogurt, chocolate-hazelnut spread, and hummus, among many others. Plus, our local shop stocks its shelves on Sunday afternoons, so that's the time to go for the freshest food and the most selection. (See also: )Of course, with all these tips for things to buy and ways to buy them, I've also discovered there are a few things — at least at my store — that are better purchased elsewhere Yes: There are plenty of foods that are great and price-competitive, but consider staying away from the following. Certain DairyIf you're trying to avoid food additives, your Aldi's almond milk, cottage cheese, and a few other dairy products might be suspect.
These foods — at least in some markets — contain carrageenan, which is a thickener and stabilizer. There is some debate over whether carrageenan is a carcinogen, but it has been shown to cause some. (You can also find this ingredient at most other grocery stores, so keep an eye out.) 2. Shredded CheeseI love Aldi block cheese.
It's economical and tasty. However, the shredded variety contains cornstarch to keep the shreds from sticking to one another in the bag, and I find that it burns quicker than other cheeses, especially under the broiler. And mine burned with an oily mess on top of it.
Stick with block cheese and a grater for the best results. GarlicMaybe I've been spoiled by our gigantic, juicy CSA garlic, but Aldi's cloves just don't match up. They're tiny and difficult to both peel and cut.
Since garlic isn't terribly expensive, when it's the off-season for produce, we tend to buy it at another store (when we pick up tofu and a few other ingredients Aldi stores don't carry). PotatoesI've given several varieties of potatoes a try, only to have them spoil within the week (one time, even in just a few days).
Since I stored them like I have stored all other potatoes in the past, I cannot assume it was my own error. Potatoes should be hearty and last a good while. Thankfully, they are one of the more inexpensive buys at most stores — so, I grab a bag elsewhere. Other ProduceOn that same note, you must be stringent when choosing produce of all shapes and sizes.
Depending on the time of week you shop, the food — like at any store — may have been freshly delivered or sitting there for days. Inspect each piece for signs of spoilage before bringing home. I once got a bad batch of onions, bananas, and green peppers that got soft and moldy the day after I stocked them in my fridge.
(See also: ) 6. Chocolate ChipsWhile I absolutely adore the Moser Roth chocolate in the first aisle of the store, the chocolate chips in the baking section leave much to be desired with taste.
If you want your chocolate chip cookies to taste out-of-this-world delicious, scrimp and save to get a bag of the quality stuff. Alternatively, I've made chocolate chunk cookies using the Moser Roth chocolate. Packaged Cookie DoughIf you're planning to skip the from-scratch experience and lay out prepackaged cookie dough on a sheet to bake, just don't. Even following package directions, my refrigerated dough burned easily and still didn't cook the whole way through. To make matters worse, the flavor was definitely artificial. Frozen Stir-FryI was incredibly excited to find brightly colored packs of frozen veggies with sauce for quick weeknight meals, only to become dismayed when I read the label on the back of the package. In Aldi's defense, I haven't closely inspected other frozen stir-fries before, but I found that the ingredients in the Fusia mix came from all over the place: China, Holland, Guatemala, Mexico, and the USA.
Ground BeefAs a vegetarian, I have not purchased meat products at Aldi. I did, so I thought I'd share those results. You can actually find better prices on ground beef at a store like Walmart ($3.69/pound versus $2.66/pound) for similar-quality protein. (See also: ) 10.
Non-Food ItemsI've found many of the non-food items — from brand-name diapers to garbage bags and beyond — to not be price-competitive with other discount stores. If you can buy these same products at stores that also accept coupons or offer bulk discounts, go for it.We'd love to hear what foods and products you stay away from at Aldi. Please leave a note in the comments! Like this article? I'm actually surprised at a few of the things you mention, but I've heard that Aldi's can vary from store to store and even more so from state to state, depending on your area's distribution channels.
I'm not sure. I always buy the frozen hamburger 1 lb tubes for $2.79 each. We have a large family, so I cut it with an additional pound of ground turkey (in the frozen tube) for $1.79/lb.
But it sure beats our Walmart - where a similar quality ground beef is about $4.29/lb on any given day.I've had no trouble with the cheese or cookie dough, but you are right - a lot of Aldi's foods contain the same additives as most other similar products at any grocery store. At a regular grocery store, you can turn around and choose another brand if the one you are looking at doesn't have what you want. You can't do that at Aldi's.That said, I'm definitely an Aldi's aficionado. I see very little difference in quality in most things (except the produce, which needs to be eaten extra quickly!) between Aldi's and any other grocery store. One thing I don't buy there (or, I can't) is bulk foods. Or bigger bags of most things.
With 4 kids, a little bag of anything just doesn't cut it!(As an interesting aside, my father has worked for years in upper management of food distribution, both in food companies and distributors. A lot of people don't realize that store brands really are regular brands with store labels. My father told me how he was visiting a plant and watching the production line. When he was in the labeling area, he watched the line stop, the workers remove his brand's stickers from the machine, put in a store label, and start the line up again. There was absolutely no other difference in the actual product. I wonder if Aldi's gets their food the same way?). We have shopped at aldi for over 35 years.
In 35 years we have bought one thing that didnt live up to our standards. Canned cream corn, and that was about 20 years ago.
We brought the empty can back on our next trip and received a refund plus a free item. I am soo over shopping at mega centers. The choices that aldi has is small, but how many types of cream of mushroom soup do u need? I dont agree about the ground beef at all. We buy 90% lean and their price is more than competitive.
I have had potatoes go 'bad' but over weeks, not days. We save nearly 33% off of any other grocery/mega store on our groceries. And we do 95% of our food shopping there.
Anything stated on this thread could be said of any other store out there. And btw, try their fresh sirloin steaks. With no marinating they are amazing!! Go aldi!!!!!!!!! I love Aldi and over the past few months I've started shopping there primarily. I've seen a lot of negative comments across various articles regarding the produce.
I typically stick to purchasing what is seasonal and advertised as the 'produce pick' of the week as those prices typically beat out even the lowest sale prices at the big chain grocery in my area (Kroger). I believe that the store re-stocks that produce especially for the sales so I've never had any trouble with fast spoilage on those. Some of the best deals I've gotten recently: pack of artisan lettuce for.99, organic baby carrots for.99, grapes for.79 a pound, and peaches/plums for.25 each.I just got back from an Aldi trip today and spent $100 which will give my family of 3 enough groceries for about a week. I decided to sit down and look at my receipt and try to do an informal comparison of prices at my local Kroger. There are some things I don't see any savings on, others that are negligible, and a few items that Aldi cuts their competitor by 50% on. Overall, I think I saved about $25 for that trip alone, which is pretty significant for me!
Most all packaged shredded cheeses from all manufacturers have a layer of 'dusting' powder on them to keep the shreds from sticking together. Generally speaking it's usually either straight cellulose, potato starch or a cellulose/potato starch blend. If in fact the Aldi shredded cheeses are dusted with cornstarch that's the reason for the burning of the cheese under the broiler due to the Maillard reaction between amino acids and reducing sugars. Potato starch based dusting starches will react as well, but not to the extent that cornstarch does. What points do you agree/disagree with. Unlike all of the other comments, you offered no personal notes about your personal experiences, except that 'The vegetables have always been fresh'.
No one said the vegetables were not fresh, they noted that they have not lasted as long as they would have expected. Others raved about the prices and products they got.including vegetables!!!I do have a question for everyone ELSE. I have never shopped there as an adult. As a child, I used to go with my Aunt.
I remembered clearly seeing signs and commercials for double coupon days way back when. 2 questions 1.Do they still take coupons, 2.Do they ever have double coupon days anymore?, and 3.DO they have the capability (if they do indeed take coupons) of scanning the coupons from our smartphones like other grocery stores? Many apps do not allow a coupon to be read electronically, but I found one that does work with the scanners. I guess this is a 4th question. Do they meet the advertised prices of other stores? I would assume not, but since Walmart does or did do that, I am curious if anyone has asked.
Thank you all for your comments. I learned so much!!! At my local Aldi, the products, prices and staff are the best (for me).
Some dairy products come from our local farms, and now many name brands are stocked (Pampers, Kellogg’s, General Mills, Hershey’s, even a local meat producer). Aldi cheeses are my favorite, are as good as, or better than at the big chains, and are priced lower of course.
Aldi carries gluten-free and healthier choice products now. Even non-food items are okay by me. So much about Aldi product selection depends on our own personal tastes and needs, so let me just say that I couldn't find a better place to shop. If, when, I need a bigger selection, I can go elsewhere, but it’s going to take longer, and will cost more. As a (relatively new) Aldi employee, I can respond to some of the comments regarding produce freshness. Once delivered on the truck, most produce goes immediately out to the floor. What doesn't fit is either kept on pallets in the stockroom or in the refrigerated cooler.
Take a look at me signs next time you are in the store - if there is an 'R' in the corner, that produce is kept in the coolers and tends to stay fresh longer. We also try to limit how much of that goes out to the floor to extend its shelf life. Also, all of the berries/grapes are brought back into the cooler every night because berries spoil so quickly. Some stores bring in all of their 'R' produce every night. The organic produce also tends to spoil more quickly due to the lack of chemical protection.While practices may vary by store, our store inspects the entire produce section every half hour and has a policy of 'if you wouldn't buy it, throw it out,' and we do! Today I threw away an entire case of Dole bananas from the stockroom instead of putting them out because they were just starting to brown and I saw a few flies on them (A single female fruit fly can lay up to 500 eggs per day, so they are almost impossible to eliminate in produce storage). Sure, the bananas were edible, but they wouldn't have lasted long and we don't want flies to spread.Overall, I've really come to appreciate this store even more now that I work there.
I've been shopping at Aldi since I was a child when it had a 'ghetto 'grocery store reputation. It's amazing how the company has evolved over the past 30 years! I'm bummed because I have had fruit flies in my house all summer. At first I thought it was a gnat from my aloe plant. I did everything trying to get rid of them.
My house was infested. I got rid of the aloe plant and every house plant I had inside. They were constantly swarming my bananas and fruit basket. I got rid of those. Each time I would buy fruit, I would put it in the refrigerator, even my poor bananas.
![Why is newton shoprite produce of such poor quality management Why is newton shoprite produce of such poor quality management](http://www.heathcaldwell.com/yahoo_site_admin/assets/images/JHC05.10725638_std.jpg)
I have been buying their strawberries, blueberries and bananas for my smoothies. Alas, a couple of weeks ago after buying fruit fly traps, I got rid of the flies. Last week, I made my weekly trip to Aldi's and as I was in the fruit section, I see fruit flies. It hit me, I was getting them from Aldi's all along. I thought well, I will buy them and make sure I check the packages good, I was even in the parking lot being an idiot, waving them around to make sure I didn't take any in the car with me. I got home, rinsed the fruit and put it in the refrigerator. I got up the next morning and my kitchen had flies again and even my refrigerator.
I tossed it all out and now still battle getting them out of here. I realized today I bought sweet potatoes from there so perhaps, they are in that bag. I love Aldi's but now I have decided I will pay more at a regular grocery store to avoid this disgusting havoc.:(. I just started to shop at Aldis in Florida. I'm definitely saving money.
I have no complaints with the produce. I check everything before I buy. I also just buy enough for a few days. I work part time and had decided before shopping there that I was going to shop a few times a week. I recently purchased Sirloin chop meat.
It was delicious. We're seniors and I see many seniors shopping there.
I've purchased meat in Publix that had to be returned because underneath the top layer it was bad. I haven't been on line for more than 10 minutes, even on a Saturday.
I'm going to continue shopping at Aldis. I would have to agree with the potato comment. For the second time now I have had to throw out an entire 10 pound bag of potatoes only days after bringing it home. I tired to give Aldi another chance on the potatoes but from my experience, you're lucky if your potato sac makes it past the 2nd day in your home without rotting, or worse, being full of maggots! Also, Aldi's potatoes don't taste good. I'll stick to my Idaho potatoes and look for sales at other stores. I wish there was just one store that people could go to and get nice, good food at a reasonable and fair price instead of having to go to three or four different stores.
I have gradually found by trying new things that the meat I get at Aldi is much better than from other stores. Love the baby back pork ribs, the ground turkey makes great burgers when seasoned (better than beef). Just made a pork roast yesterday and it was very good. I have a chuck roast ready to prepare tomorrow. It will be the first I have tried from Aldi. I do like that the meat states quite clearly most is born and raised in USA. I watch for that.
I feel comfortable with US or Canadian meat. Have noticed the ground beef in Walmart is from US or Mexico. I do not feel comfortable with that. Have read of inspection issues.I like that there are interesting frozen veggies combos to choose from at Aldi and I have never had a problem with the fresh veggies. Love the German product selections and the the German sauerkraut is the best there is. I find I pick and choose when at Aldi's.
I buy milk, cheese, oj, and lots of produce from Aldi, but prefer the indivdiual choices to prepackaged. I check the potatoes,(I've lost some) berries, oranges, apples, bananas, and the like carefully. I've been disappointed by the prepack Roma tomatoes which never seem to ripen and have no flavor, most grapes and avocados, (also ripening issues).
We try to buy 'product of USA' which include the lasagna, most cheeses, beef stock soup -(delicious) and many paper products. I find great bargains with tortilla wraps, romaine, and 'skinny' bread which although a name brand cuts $.30 to $1.21 per package from any grocery store price. We have had tasty smoked hams which price was reduced just days after holidays. I'm actually very disappointed in the quality of food from Aldi's. Their cheese is great but everything else is hit and miss. My husband and I both went shopping there and bought produce- we even inspected it in the store. Within a day of shopping and putting the food in the fridge, half of it was already spoiling.
I also ate lettuce, washed it thoroughly, and ended up with diarrhea. Lettuce has NEVER given me diarrhea. I think I'd rather pay a little bit more for quality food that won't make me sick over Aldi's, sorry. Hi, My family and I are in Australia and aldis been here for no more then 10 yrs. But theye given our two biggest grocery retailers a kick in the arse to the point where one is loosing money and the other has decided to try and compete with some items from aldi.
Aldi products are good, but they could be better. For instance they sell double choc chip cookies which is also sold at the competitions store under that stores name. Probably 50 to 60 cents more but the quality is also a little better at the competition. Soft drinks are cheap and contain less sugar then branded products, which is a good thing for a change. Some items work out to be more exspensive at aldi because even though you think your getting a good deal it turns out that the packaging may look the same size as branded products but the weight of the contents is less. All in all we do 60-80 percent of our shopping at aldi and for a fortnight we average 160. Not bad I think.
I've tried Aldi 3 times now, have not been impressed. We like food without additives.and to me I was disappointed nearly every time I turned the package over to look at the label. The half and half had 5 extra ingredients.all of the fruit cups were from china or indonesiathe produce was sadthe yogurts had aspartame in them, msg in a few things. I can go to kroger and get their brand or the organic name brand stuff on sale or clearance for much less without even clipping a coupon. I have been buying a qtr. Of beef in twice a year so the meat isn't an issue. I haven't bought beef from kroger in 2 years it's AWFUL.
I used to hate kroger but now I know where everything comes from and they have a great natural section.I feel it's a better bang for my buck to stock up when things go on sale. I thought aldi would be more transparent and the ingriedents more streamlined. I do like the idea of aldi- just tweak a few things and it would be perfect. Just my 2 cents.
Did you consider that the Beef purchased from Walmart may have been fed GMO feed.Sometime being 'frugal' by shopping at other markets could be cost effective, than again how is important to you is your health?' Big 6' pesticide and GMO corporations are BASF, Bayer, Dupont, Dow Chemical Company, Monsanto, and Syngenta.
They are so called because they dominate the agricultural input market - that is, they own the world's seed, pesticide and biotechnology industries., how important is your health to you? After reading, search companies that use GMO, you may change your mind. I'm a regular Aldi shopper and love almost everything there. I've found the produce varies by region, etc. When I lived in TX, the produce was always great, but it was always great in all the stores-because most of it was fairly local. In TN, the produce is rough-but it's rough most places here, because it has further to come to get here. The one thing I don't like at Aldi is their hot dogs-I've tried all the varieties and they are just not good, IMHO.
But I LOVE their seasonal items-it's always fun near the holidays when the cheeses and things start coming in. Yes, outside of your world, things are this bad in most areas. No jobs no money. Wait till you graduate from that college.
You think you're poor? You probably are on a scholarship and get money each semester to do what you will with.
I know, my son graduated from a University 15 years ago and we never gave him any money.He ate well and was clothed with the money he received for NEW books, not used. He bought used, as you probably do. If you're folks live in LA which you say is expensive, they are not poor and either are you. Stop denouncing people! I can't even afford real chips because I'm retired! I have to add that although you buy meat else where keep in mind that Aldi does everything to ensure the animals are treated hi mainly unlike other stores.Also, non food items are all from sustainable materials, guaranteed no heavy meters or cancer causing.
They are have strict guidelines to ensure the communities are taken care of and they really do their research to ensure there is no child labor etc. You don't even get that with Nike.
So yeah, I'd rather spend a few more cents to help our world. A new Aldis opened in my neighborhood about 4 months ago. I had never been to one before. I feel your article is mostly generic to all grocery stores and not just Aldis. Second, produce must be inspected wherever you buy it. I have bought many snacks there that do not contain hydrogenated oils where elsewhere they would.
Pinwheel cookies $1.79 & twist can biscuits)I've purchased all varieties of canned beans they are fine. Milk eggs butter & yogurt all fine and cheaper then other stores. Avocados are cheap and better quality than my local Shoprite. I've bought lettuce, tomatoes, bell peppers, all of good quality.
Their Brands are spot on with flavor and taste. Brick cheese is good with the exception of the mozzarella which is to hard & dry for my taste. I bought chicken sausage (packaged) flavored w spinach & mozzarella & a mild Italian, both are awesome no nitrates no additives.
Frozen fish sticks very good also cheaper. As far as meats go look at the label. All the pork has additives to keep it fresh.
I do buy all my raw meats at Shop rite as they have an on site butcher & its very fresh not pre packaged. Aldis brand cola is very close in taste to Coca Cola. Why you would even suggest Walmart for meats is beyond me haven't you ever seen 4 different colored pork chops or steaks in one pack? And Walmart is a highly agitating shopping experience in general. At least Aldis has a quick checkout.
I've actually seen seasons change while on line at Walmart, and that was the EXPRESS CHECKOUT! Oh No No No!!!! This post is all wrong. Sorry but with 4 kids I don't have time to do coupons, and now our local Aldi is sending $10off coupons on their weekly adds and that's way better than cutting coupons all over. We had got $5 diapers from Aldi for 3 of our kids and they were always better and cheaper than Costco or Walmart store brand.Produce is always fresh at our local store.Avoid goin on Monday nights because you will find nothing good left.Wednesdays are always the best.new items and lots of savings on products you can only find on Amazon at at half the price (Aldi scores) we got kitchen supplies, rain boots, car stuff, patio chairs and tables all from Aldi.great quality and the secret is to wait until they go on sale! Usually 2 weeks from the original release day.because they are to constantly updating their items, they need the room on the shelf.we have got camping tents from $35 to $15! Toy organizers from $45 to $15!!!!
We love Aldi and seriously why would you go to another store when you can just get everything you need right there. So please check Aldi and give it a chance.you will not regret it! I have been shopping at Aldi's twice now. I was grateful for the difference in meat-especially chicken thighs. I have been cooking chicken in my crock pot for a good 20 yrs. I put it in at night and wake up to a great smell and use it for soups or snacking on during the week. But mostly I use it to mix with my dog's dry food.
I use it a lot thus appreciate a break on price. But.I did notice, for one, that their package was at least 2 pieces short of the other family packages I usually but-but-mostly-when I got up I did not have that wonder smell. When I first woke up I was trying to figure out what that strange smell in my home was.
Then my grandson (3 1/2) woke up and said eww-what is that aweful smell? The only thing I was cooking was the chicken.
I lifted the lid and it did not smell like chicken-more like rubber or something. Then to top it off my dog wouldn't touch it.
I have tried it several times-she smells it and walks away. Wow-wonder what that's all about-I won't feed it to my (3) grandchildren if my dog won't eat it.and I only cook it in water-nothing else. So it hasn't turned out to be a savings-but actually a waste of money. I have purchased other products there-and some of the produce did spoil quickly.
But a lot of items my daughter has bought there have been appreciated. I have to disagree with some of the items you mentioned.
I love Aldi cheese and cannot tell a difference compared to other stores. I also love their lean beef (93%) at $4.69 which is cheaper than anywhere else I've found. I also love their grassfed beef which is only $5.89. I also buy their garbage bags because I can get 80 count for a fraction of what they cost elsewhere. They work just as well as name brands. I have been shopping almost exclusively for over a year at Aldi and have saved so much money!
I find the vast majority of their items compare equally to name brands and that's why I LOVE it!! Depends on where an Aldi is located. Some times the produce is excellent and other times it is just awful. I have bought meat 3 times and each time was disappointed. Frozen boneless chicken breasts (for dog) inside a bag loaded with ice from injected liquids; bone-in thighs for soup that were really, really old meat (I could tell when removing cooked meat from bones); and a spiral ham that was spiraled only on one half and the slices were super large or super tiny. But I buy flour, sugar, crackers, chocolate bars, cheese bars, cereal, and other staples with no problem.
Garlic comes from China and is totally dried out. Sweet potatoes are generally old.
All bakery items are initially placed on the shelf straight from the freezer. Frozen veggies are of poor quality. But Aldi has brought more competition and other markets have lowered their prices.
I shop wherever the bargains are the best. We we so disappointed with their Big Texas Cheese Danish, because we found the there are a couple of the individually wrapped Danish had little or NONE of the delicious cheese 'filling'!! White looking for an email address for Big Texas Cheese Danish, we had to Google Big Texas Cheese Danish.so I assume you there at Aldis are the responsible party to see that we aren't being cheated out of the small amount of the delicious filling that there is not enough of in the first place, as far as WE ARE CONCERNED! THANKS please RSVP to my email address ASAP, as we we THINKING ABOUT serving them to our overnight Holiday guests!! As a quicksmall breakfast treat With coffee. Thanks a lot.
