I have seen that Owl Tootsie Pop commercial three times today.
Each time I hear the little boy talking to the owl, I think of my time teaching. I introduced Tootsie Pops to my kids whenever we watched movies. I would tell/demonstrate for them to, “Take the wrapper off of the sucker, throw the wrapper out, put this sucker in your mouth, and then close your mouth” as a way to get them to NOT talk during the movie.
That ended up being my thing. I gave my kids Tootsie Pops all of the time for probably 11 of the years of the 12 that I taught. I would purchase the 100 count boxes from GFS:
I used to let my kids pick the flavor they wanted and I ended up having a bunch of leftover brown ones at the end of the school year. I think I still may have a bag of the leftovers in my cupboard 2 1/2 years since I have stopped teaching!
The last year of my MS Awareness Week fundraising, I added in an #MSsucks sucker sale for $.25. The purpose of my MS Awareness T-shirt sales and the sucker sale was not so much to raise money but rather to raise awareness. I really had a lot of fun the years I was allowed to have the fundraiser! I will probably re-post those posts on Facebook, at least the sucker sale one! I was only able to have the sale once.
