I voted Blow Pops - but that was a lie. I just like the name better. I really like TPs better - but as mentioned - it’s a poor grade of choc. ---

I guess I though of it as its own thing, and kinda waxy. It was only recently that my g/f enlightened me that a Tootsie Roll was chocolate. Never occurred to me, either. :smack: ---

I’ll admit that Tootsie Rolls are questionable…I remember seeing a clip on TV of an older man showing off an ancient-looking Tootsie Roll, then happily unwrapping and eating it. I guess it’s an acquired taste; it was one of my favorite candies as a child, and it’s a nice treat for relaxing at work on a Friday afternoon. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/tootsie-pops-or-blow-pops/564184.md?page=1)
