Happy Thought: Tootsie Pops

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.
