Captain Tootsie

I think it's high time we revived Captain Tootsie as corporate spokeshero. In fact, from now on I intend to make the "T for Tootsie countersign" whenever I am in distress--such as from eating too many Tootsie Pops!

In this uber-PC world, Paul, you may, just, be able to get away with it but I'd still steer clear of kids.

EGADS~~~ I remember going into a store and I could get a couple of small candies for a penny.

Popeye, step aside! And to think that these days they want to stop children from getting over-energetic from too many sweets!
(Which is a myth, by the way. Children get over-fat from too many sweets, and over-energetic from neurotic parents.)

Perhaps that's why one of the kids nicknames is "Fatso."
