    Well whatever they are, they can't be worse than a lime flavoured popsicle: whatever that is.

    Shouldn't this be in the Serious Discussions forum ?

    One has bubble gum at the centre and the other has a tootsie roll at the center (which is a kind of toffee like candy).

    Edit: I don't think I've ever had a tootsie pop, I've seen them for sale though.

    How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop?

    It is a little known fact that tootsie pops were in fact invented by the most dread pirate, Capt. Cavit Y. Gingervitus. So naturally my vote goes to the tootsie pops.

    Tootsie pops come in gross looking colors, like dark blue and muddy-water brown. Blow pops come in nice colors, like pink and yellow. I vote blow pops.

    Yah, I outgrew tootsie pops a long time ago; it's blow pops for me.

    Tootsie pops all the way. Not only do they taste lovely, but you could have all kinds of fun with the wrappers. It would tell you if you were lucky or not, they could tell your future. The wrappers were more important that the sucker itself.

    feet lovely and still as sleeping doves,
    porcelain bones strong enough to carry a life,
    but weighty and unmovable

    Blow Pops. They have gum in the center. Bubble gum. And you blow bubbles with bubble gum. That's why they're called Blow Pops.

    JW -- you've been right before. And you've been wrong before. But this is the wrongest you've ever been. You're judging a candy by colors! Colors! As if all you ever did with a sucker was look at it. . . .

    The Tootsie pop is one of the best candies around -- a perfect balance of fruity and tootsie, of crunch and chew, and while its colors may not be as shockingly bright as the Blow Pop (I'm not even going to start playing innuendo games on that little sucker), the colors of the honorable and delicious Tootsie Pop testify to the latter's reliance on good taste and texture to win wise tasters over again and again.

    yeah, I went there. the inneundo. But the tootsie pop did have that awesome commercial with the owl from when I was a little girl (actually, that commercial looked outdated to me even then) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZ0epRjfGLw

    yeah, I've had one of those and I'd have to say that it wasn't as good as a blow pop or a tootsie pop. Seriously, you've got to try either a Tootsie Pop or a Blow Pop. Someone needs to mail MystrMystyry a couple of suckers.
