The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for August 15, 2023

Ah one, ah two-hoo!

Down to her Chocolate Center!!!

they were really sucking face!

Tootsie Mom is there, too.

Then how did they get Cherry if they never did it?

Easy Pop. She’s already taken a licking.

She’s wasting away to nothing.

Boys suck!!!

There’s a Sucker born every minute.

That young lady sure took a licking!

She should have kept her Wrap(per) on.

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?

Cherry is not particularly cheerful.

Every comment that I can think of today would be banned. Kudos to those that posted.

I’ve licked cherry…

Is this a pop culture reference?

There’s no way to get all those licks back either!

You’re a sucker to these boys!

It’s not the kissing per se, it’s the French kissing.

And you’ll end up with a brood of Dum-Dums.

Lick most commenters, I’m getting my “licks in”. ;-p

They were warned about losing their Cherry.

She took a licking, but if you listen closely you will hear that she kept on ticking. She has the heart of a Timex.

She was such a sweet young thing that he couldn’t resist.

Cherry is my favorite flavor.

Some boy got to her Tootsie center.

Was buying the Giant version for a while till I concluded they are way overpriced. (Don’t tell my diabetes Specialist).

I was just helping her to find her center.

Didn’t know she was into Mr. Owl . . . :)

I’m pretty sure that on the Planet of the Tootsie Roll Pops, the outer candy layers will heal — just as our own skin heals after an injury. More likely the parents are upset because of the embarrassment of everyone knowing what their daughter was doing — not to mention that she was engaging in that activity without wearing her protective wrapper. Shameful!

Who remembers the urban legend about Tootsie Pop wrappers? If the wrapper had the Indian boy shooting a star, you could turn the wrapper in for a free Tootsie Pop. It is amazing how this rumor spread so far and wide, long before the internet just simply by word of mouth. The rumor was so pervasive that many stores would honor it and give you a free Tootsie Pop. A friend of a friend claimed that he saved a bunch of wrappers and sent them in to the company, and they sent him a letter of congratulations and a coupon for free Tootsie pops. Another friend saved a whole bunch of wrappers and took them down to the local 7-11, and they gave her a free Slurpee.

This all happened with there being no actual contest. Can you imagine a company today just going along with a made up contest?

Should’ve used “The No Tongue” approach. ;)

That’s horrible
