How many licks does it REALLY take to get to the center of a tootsie pop? The world may never know. Right? Who remembers seeing that commercial, the one with the little boy and Mr. Owl? I know I do. Did you know that the commercial is a lot longer than the one we know and love today? The original commercial has the little boy first talking to a cow, then a fox, a turtle, and finally Mr. Owl. After this campaign came out, different groups of people decided to test how many licks it really took. Purdue University, University...
As Valentine’s Day is a day of love and candy, I decided to do a little research as to why. We all know that the big Hallmark holidays like Halloween and Valentine’s Day are all about candy, but have you ever thought about why you are stuffing chocolates into your mouth? Ancient Romans were the first ones to start the Valentine’s Day tradition. There were two different Saint Valentines that the holiday was named after. Every year around mid February, the Romans held an enormous festival called Lupercalia. This contained a feast in which the single young adults ate treats,...
Valentine's Day is kind of a polarizing holiday. Young lovers love it, and lonely curmudgeons hate it. And so do a lot of normal people. The legendary stories that inspired the celebration vary widely, and the only really clear thing is that people have been getting romantic once a year for centuries. But a holiday about love in the middle of winter makes sense. Celebrating loved ones might be the best thing to do when you've been stuck inside with them for months. Just imagine what it would be like if you shared a hovel with them. Or a Conestoga...

Sharability: 1 Denture Danger: 9 Convenience: 10 Novelty: 9 Overall: 10 I predict that this Limited Edition Caramel Tootsie Roll Pop won’t be limited for long. The caramel flavor is perfect for the Tootsie Roll Pop and I am just wondering what took them so long to create this flavor.In my humble opinion the caramel flavor is the tastiest flavor of all Tootsie Roll Pops. I noticed that I don’t usually look at the Tootsie Roll Pop wrapper. Since I was treating this as a new candy I took a gander at the wrapper and there is a lot going...

Who doesn't love Twizzlers chocolate licorice? Sharability: 8 Denture Danger: 7 Convenience: 7 Novelty: 6 Overall: 9 You can’t deny that every drink tastes better through a licorice twist straw whether you are drinking juice out of a cup or slurping water from a water fountain. Just because you aren’t a kid anymore does not mean that you can’t bite off the ends and make a straw of your licorice. There is no law stating that once you have kids you aren’t allowed to act like kids. Chocolate Licorice straws are especially good for drinking milk and chocolate milk. When...

At one point, Sugar Daddy Lollipops were the largest lollipop available! Sharability: 6 (you can share his babies) Denture Danger: 9 Convenience: 6 Novelty: 9 Overall: 7 The Sugar Daddy Lollipop was the largest lollipop of its time. Frank, a chemist at the James O.

I spent the past five days in utter bliss. I left the blizzards of Pittsburgh behind and baked poolside in 90 degree weather in Acapulco, Mexico. The best part of my trip? The open bar, where I was able to sip Strawberry Daiquiris and Bahama Mamas all day and all night long. You can only imagine my rude awakening when I walked out of the doors of Pittsburgh International Airport. Not only was it snowing, but the weather forecast warns us to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day indoors! I watched my golden tan fade away as I rotted indoors, and fervently...

These were one of my favorite candies growing up and my mom used to give them to us when we had upset stomach, works very well on that! There’s a different name on them but same wonderful candy!
The candy you are referring to is the Canada Mints which were made by Necco prior to the company going bankrupt! We searched high and low until we found a new substitite and are thrilled they were well received on your end! The name may be different but they offer the same great taste!
