Love me some turdly Tootsie Pops

Remember Tootsie Rolls and Pops?
 
You can still find some on amazon.
 
Tootsie Rolls were carmel-fudgie sticks that went hard as soon as you open the pack.
Only a meat cleaver could hack off a mouth-sized piece.
 
Tootsie Pops were lollipops with razor-sharp shards of grape or cherry candy, hiding a centre that could take out fillings two at a time.
 
I've also been wondering what happened to Tubby, that little fat kid.
If you bought Fleer's Double Bubble gum, you got two sticks of goo and a little cartoon sheet showing the mis-adventures of Tubby.
 
He was the butt of every joke.
 
And what of Sluggo?
