   I like the old commercial better. It could be nostalgia but it just has a better view. I don’t even like the vibrant colours in the newer one.
   Besides, little Johnny there looks weird with the new haircut.
   And I like the sketch drawings.
   I think I’ve ever only eaten chocolate tootsie pops. I’m not a fan of fruit and chocolate together.

   The old commercial of course!

   I love tootsie pops…they have a strawberry flavor now too. Have you tried it? It’s quite good!

   I like the new commercial better overall because it’s more pleasant to look at.. plus the child is clothed.

   The one thing I don’t like: the way the Tootsie Pops are illustrated at the end being licked into oblivion. It’s just too darn perfect, that’s not how it happens! It was better in the old one.

   I agree. They do make good summer treats. I use the rappers for art or making wallets.

   I can’t imagine ever not finishing a Tootsie Roll Pop. I can’t believe anyone, seriously, eats half of one and wraps it back up!

   I love tootsie pops but I think I will stick with the regular size. =) My favourites are grape, strawberry and cherry…oh and sometimes the chocolate one.

   Eurgh, the new one is awful!
   How could they replace the original commercial with a more graphic 21st century, 3-D version? The old one holds a lot of nostalgia.
   it doesn’t compare.

    I agree the old one is a classic. I even have a tshirt with the owl on it. Love it. I don’t think I’ve ever had a lime tootsie pop I always go for grape. But I might like lime too.

    I just discovered your blog- and I have a quick question, sort of related to this topic. Do you remember Rainbow Pops and Rainbow Drops, they were hard, fruit-flavored candies, that used to be available… somewhere? I seem to remember trying some from a friend about 7 years ago…

    someone - I’m afraid I don’t remember rainbow drops, but I’ll keep looking.

    Patricia - there are a couple of places online that sell them in whole boxes of assorted flavors:

    http://www.candywarehouse.com/supertootsies.html
    http://www.candydirect.com/novelty/Super-Tootsie-Roll-Pops.html

    I’m sure there are some other sources as well, but those are two trusted companies.

    Does anyone know where I can buy Tootsie Pop Drops?  I loved them as a kid and now I’m going blind searching the web for them.  Thanks so much\.

    Brianna - it’s a myth that you can get a free candy. Sorry.

    Traci - Tootsie Pop Drops were discontinued. However, they will be returning early next year.

    I am currently enjoying a POMEGRANITE tootsie pop. Yes - POMEGRANITE. It tastes nothing like an actual fruit but it is quite tasty! Have you tried this? Today is the first time I have seen one! The wrapper is a bright day-glo reddish orange, which makes no sense, with reddish brown text/pictures on it.

    Do you know if this is a limited time flavor? I would love to get more…
    Thanks!

    The new totsie roll flavors are good. You ought to make a mocha flavored tootsie pop.
