New twist on an old fav.

Halloween time means candy. Where I work, many of the secretaries like to get festive with their work areas, during the holidays. Since Halloween is approaching, one need only take a brief lap of the office, to encounter the various candy-laden bowls that have been placed out for the picking. Yesterday, I swiped a tootsie pop as I was walking past one of the secretary stations. I didn’t recognize the wrapper, but assumed that it was some sort of Halloween variation of the cherry flavored tootsie. Nope. It was a new flavor. I had scored a pomegranate flavored tootsie pop without even knowing it. It was almost as delicious as the jelly that my grandfather used to make from the pomegranates he grew. I was so intrigued by the new flavor that I researched a bit more. Upon doing so, I discovered that there have actually been three new additions to the tootsie pop flavor choices. Aside from the one I already mentioned, watermelon and blue raspberry are also now available. Tootsie is actually seeking feedback regarding the new flavors. You can contribute by going here. As tasty as the new pomegranate flavor was, I was kind of bummed that I didn’t get a star on my wrapper.
