Who is Mr. Owl and what the heck is a Tootsie Pop?

Stew	Kojak famously sucked Tootsie Pops. I've never seen them for sale in the UK, but I believe Mr Owl is the symbol of the manufacturer. Mar 05 03, 11:59 PM

It's a work of fiction by Chris Clark. http://www.reality-syndicate.com/syndicatepress/tootsiepop.htm Picture: http://www.tootsie.com/memoriesLicksMachine.html The Tootsie Pop, consisting of hard candy on the outside and chocolatey, chewy Tootsie Roll on the inside was invented in 1931. The company produces sixteen million Tootsie Pops per day. An Austrian immigrant, Leo Hirshfield, brought his recipe for a chocolatey, chewy candy to the US in 1896 He began producing the candy in a small store in New York City and ended up naming the candy after his five-year-old daughter, whose nickname was 'Tootsie.' The Tootsie Pop is the lollipop that made Detective 'Kojak' famous on TV http://www.tootsie.com/history.html Students at Whittier Elementary in Waukesha, WI determined that it takes an average of 9 minutes to reach the center of a Tootsie Pop.
