When were tootsie roll frooties invented?
They were invented in 1931 by Luke Weisgram, an employee of The
Sweets Company of America. The company changed its name to Tootsie
Roll Industries in 1966. In addition to chocolate (the original
flavor), Tootsie Pops come in cherry, orange, grape, raspberry,
strawberry, watermelon, blue raspberry and pomegranate flavors.
Another release of Tootsie Roll Pops, named Tropical Stormz,
features six swirl-textured flavors: orange pineapple, lemon lime,
strawberry banana, citrus punch, and berry berry punch. In 2003,
sixty million Tootsie Rolls and twenty million Tootsie Pops were
produced every day.
