Tootsie Pop Poll

[Whalehead King]

as an alternative i could just carry around boxes of Ludens

But that's medicine. Always take your medicine responsibly, kids.

if those are medicine, that's news to me...they taste delicious...! LOL

That's how they getcha.

Orange all the way, followed by cherry. Didn't care for chocolate, wasn't sweet enough.

You need a new poll, do you work your way down to the tootsie pop before you chew, or do you go halfway and then bite down on candy and soft center??

Voted chocolate but orange is tied with it, could deal with a bag of just those. Been some time since I've had one but they go quick, zero licks all bite. In the mood now but still have a Stewart's Orange Cream in the fridge, should scratch the itch a little.

I voted raspberry but I definitely must give props to chocolate and grape.

I love this film, but I love this gif more:

If you visit our small neighborhood grocery store, Terranova's, on Esplanade Avenue, you'll notice that the Tootsie Pop box is getting a little skimpy in its offerings. It's not because I've been buying up all the stock. I've got enough, so I haven't purchased any Tootsie Pops in the last couple of days. It's other people who are depleting the local supply of Tootsie goodness.

All the lemons are gone. It wasn't my doing:



Terranova's has been in business for over 90 years. An A&P used to be across the street. A&P folded. Then, that location was a Whole Foods Market. Whole Foods moved on. Now, it's Canseco's, another local grocery chain (with three stores). Terranova's survives. Terranova's abides. Old school corner grocer where you can run up a tab and buy what you need without a lot of gimmicks or whistles. That's real New Orleans.

I bet it was that kid you pushed those lemon Tootsie Pops on the other day.

Speaking of Kojak, I've never found a use for this video clip, as hard as I've tried to work it into whatever project I've got afoot. I do, however, sometimes find the opportunity to ask someone on my daily errands, "Who loves ya, baby?" Most people don't know what I'm talking about, especially when I follow it up with another Kojakism: "Coochie-coo." ...More befuddled looks. It's a good thing I have charisma toward the top-end of the Savalas Scale even though I'm not bald. Since I wear a hat all the time, most people think I'm bald, so I've go that going for me in a Telly/Yul Brenner kind of a way.

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the 70's:



A tough guy sucking on a sweet children's treat has a certain élan. Maybe that's why pipe smokers love Tootsie Pops as much as we do.

The lollipop was invented in New Haven, Connecticut ('natch). The name comes from a racehorse that was a champion at the time. The Tootsie Pop was named after, you guessed it...Tootsie Rolls. In 2002, twenty million Tootsie Pops were made every day. That's a lot of Tootsie Pops. That's the most recent figure I could find. Give the people what they want! Make mine Tootsie!

I see chocolate is neck and neck ... some folks just have good taste

Not sure how this all went down.

I went to the grocery store today. Figured I'd pick up some Tootsie Pops just for the helluvit.

Completely forgot about the Tootsie Pops but I bought a box of Pop Tarts.

I haven't had, are even thought about having a PopTart in 30 years.

How the heck did that happen?
