Tootsie Pop
== Tootsie Pop ==
A Tootsie Pop is a type of lollipop filled with Tootsie Roll candy. It was first introduced in 1931 by The Sweets Company of America, which later became Tootsie Roll Industries. The Tootsie Pop is known for its hard candy shell and chewy chocolate-flavored center.
History
The Tootsie Pop was invented in 1931 by Lukas R. "Luke" Weisgram, an employee of The Sweets Company of America. The idea was to create a lollipop with a surprise center, combining the hard candy exterior with the chewy Tootsie Roll inside. The product quickly became popular and has remained a favorite treat for generations.
Flavors
Tootsie Pops come in a variety of flavors, including:
Special edition flavors and seasonal varieties are also occasionally released.
Marketing
One of the most memorable aspects of Tootsie Pop's marketing is the famous advertising campaign featuring the question, "How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?" This campaign began in the 1970s and featured a cartoon owl who attempts to answer the question. The owl ultimately bites into the Tootsie Pop after only three licks, concluding that "The world may never know."
Production
Tootsie Pops are manufactured by Tootsie Roll Industries in Chicago, Illinois. The production process involves creating the hard candy shell and then inserting the Tootsie Roll center before the candy hardens completely.
Cultural Impact
The Tootsie Pop has become an iconic candy in American culture. The "How many licks" question has been the subject of various scientific studies and experiments, with results varying widely. The candy has also appeared in numerous television shows, movies, and advertisements.
