Yay! I haven't seen that in years. Decades, probably.

COI: "Whatever It Is I Think..." salimondo February 23 2007, 17:11:17 UTC
To me the most striking aspect of that ad is the extreme artistic license it took with the product line. Once the "blue" Tootsie Pop is unwrapped, we can see it's actually the familiar "purple," and we could argue along these lines that "yellow" is actually "orange" depicted by the same possibly color-deranged animator (which would shift the "orange" one into "red" and the "red" one into "magenta"). However, none of these acrobatic apologetics can explain away the uncanny presence of a "green" Tootsie Pop about 35 years before that flavor actually became available. Whether prophecy, wishful thinking or simply overpromising on the part of the company, the result is disappointment. May you finally taste that sweet lemon-lime flavor.
