:)

Anyone who says otherwise never bothered to read it.

"But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath: wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it in an honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened. " --1 Samuel, chapter 14:27

Honey COMB?

"And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcase of the lion. " --Judges, chapter 14:8

A swarm of bees doesn't sound like fig juice to me...
