Tootsie Pop
Remember the Tootsie Pop and all of its magical goodness.
Well I certainly do.
It's been the standard of the sucker category for years and years.
The flavor lasts the longest, it’s the thickest and generally the best sucker made in the candy industry.
But I have two questions. One, how many licks does it actually take to get to the center, and, two, what does the Indian child shooting the star actually get you?
I once tried getting to the center of the Tootsie Pop by just licking it, but i failed.
If I remember correctly I got to about 200 or so and just said the hell with it. That was funny because I was on a church bus at the time.
I hated that little owl too. He would always deliver the same "ONE, TWO, THREE." I thought, maybe once, it would change during my childhood of watching that dumb commercial.
And I still remember the "get a shooting star on the wrapper, get free candy" guarantee.
Was anybody actually dumb enough to try that out?
What did the person at the register say when a little kid walked up to the corner store, slapped down his used Tootsie Pop rapper and demand a free one?
"Sure kid, now get the heck out of my store!"
Who actually fell for that one? I remember a friend who saved the dang things. I wonder if he still has them all - waiting on the day to turn 'em all in?
