We all know about the beloved Tootsie Roll Pop of our childhood that came in different flavors, on a stick with the coveted & proven delightful center made from a Tootsie Roll. Just Tootsie Rolls alone to consume is a treat remember? Chewy, chocolaty & hard to get sick of, there is genius to be found with all the candies that were unleashed & introduced in the early fifties. Remember, with the popularity of movie theaters, these candies were a perfect fit with tried & true popcorn, yum!
waiting patiently & eagerly to please you

LET'S EXPLORE
The Tootsie Pop didn't create itself. It was invented & designed by someone greater than the product that I don't know & have never met. However, his treat was/is enjoyed by the multitude's kids especially. Great gift too
WORTHY NOTE: On my conference table at work, there was a large glass container containing Peanut M & M's (another post) that people would randomly snack on especially if the meetings went on too long or we had guests. Hard to stop, too
WORTHY NOTE: A box of Tootsie Roll Pops in the office. People usually paused when choosing their flavor while others went for what they knew. How fun
UPSIDE OF THE TOOTSIE ROLL POP
1. Long-lasting which had/has a calming effect i.e. no hurry with relax will you, too
2. Kept worthless chatter & interrupting to record lows as mouth was occupied
3. You could only think good thoughts when seeing someone lollypopping
4. There were two kinds of people. Those who licked it or crunched it
5. No cursing or fowl words or statements while the "pop" engaged the user
HUMAN BEINGS
Not a product of invention but deliberate creation pleasing unto the Creator who not only has short-term meaningful plans & rewards for each one of us, but also an incredible long term (eternal) plan too, conditional, with caveats of course. Like the lollypop that needs to be unwrapped, gives short- & long-term pleasures, humans surprise the Creator moment to moment returning life to the life-maker by living it & not just existing. What good is a lollypop if it is not unwrapped & enjoyed?
NEVER HAD A BAD LOLLYPOP
In choosing a flavor, there is a "no regret" dynamic. Plus, looking forward to the center, one lapses into a carefree, temporary mode. Regrettably, humans can misbehave, appear to be one thing & end up another & cause harm & chaos. Of course, there are the lukewarm types as well as the exceptional/notable ones too
WORTHY NOTE: Lollypops invite us to try the different flavors in addition to the old reliable & so do human beings too. On mankind, there are take-it or leave it types
When the experience of the Totsie Roll Pop has gone full circle & you are left with this soggy, cardboard stick, it is disposed of & one does not look back. On humans, there are some you want around for a long time & some "nice knowing you" glad that's over types. But unlike the lollypop flavor, we can improve if we want too
