Quickly unwrapping the tootsie pop, I search for the treasured star. Did I get lucky?? Nope, drats! That is probably my favorite thing about Tootsie Pops. Sure, I like gooey chocolate covered by different flavored candy. But it's always so great to find out that your Tootsie Pop has a star and your friend's doesn't (maybe that's a little mean, but we used to always compare wrappers before popping the lollipop into our mouths) And don't forget that having the lucky star meant you would have a lucky day! I also heard that if you turned in your wrapper with the star on it you got a free sucker, but I was never brave enough to try it out so maybe people just made that up and I was gullible enough to believe them. Of course who can forget the famous advertisement, "How many licks does it take to get to the center of the Tootsie Pop?" I attempted to count once when I was younger but gave up as soon as my tongue started to hurt from licking so much and I really just wanted to chew the yummy choclatey inside. No matter how old I get, I will always enjoy tearing the wrapper off a Tootsie Pop to see if it will be my lucky day.
