Tootsie Pop (1980)

this commercial scared me when i was little.it could because of the boy wasn't wearing any clothes or the creepy music at the end of the commercial.

hEY DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THE RUMOR AT LEAST WHEN I WAS A KID IT WAS GOING AROUND.. THAT IF YOU GOT AN INDIAN BOY ON YOUR WRAPPER YOU GET A FREE ONE ATOMATICALLY LIKE U WALK INTO A STORE AND GIVE IT TO THEM AND THEY WOULD GIVE U ONE.. i NEVER TRIED IT. BUT I REMEMBER HAVING MY DESK FULL OF THOSE WRAPPERS WITH THE LITTLE INDIAN SHOOTING A BOW AN ARROW!!! RING A BELL?????????

If anyone doesn't remember this, then they don't desererve to be here.

Really? That's really funny because I haven't seen this commercial 4 AGES!!

They HAVE been playing this commercial 4 AGES!!

Isn't this still on today? I hope it continues for years and years to come (instead of that stupid one of the robot and the dinosaur attacking the city).
Yes...he DOES have a lot of junk in the trunk. lol. *gasp* no clothes either!!! Maybe that's why they don't show this as often! ZE HORRA!

Probably the only TV commercial from the 70s that I ever saw on network televison, and not online. A true classic.

They aired this commercial on tv for ages!

This commercial has played for as long as I can remember. Rightly so, seeing as it first aired in 1970 (according to the comment above)

That kid's got a lot of junk in the trunk!

One of my favorite classic commercials...the little kid deserved it for interrupting the owl's nap!
*note how prominently his butt sticks out

I just researched, and the commercial first aired in 1970, and it continues to air today making it the longest-running commercial in history.

It has a very 70s air to it, but I remember it playing circa 1989 when I watched Pinwheel at my aunt's house... It recently made a reapperance although

Actually it came out in the early to mid 70's and continued on playing through the 80's i believe.

i love this commercial.

the answer is 258, ive done it before

I thought that commercail came out during the 60s, just because my Mom told me that she saw it when she was a kid.

That commercial came out in the 80's? The oldness of it made me think it was 70's.

Boy: "Mr Turtle how many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll centre of a tootsie pop?"?
Mr Turtle: "I ain't never made it without biting. Ask Mr Owl."
Boy: "Mr Owl how many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll centre of a tootsie pop?"?
Mr Owl: "Let's find out. 1, 2, 3. 3"
Male V/O: "How many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll centre of a tootsie pop?"?
[Crunch.]
Male V/O: "The world may never know."

And the world still doesn't know just how many licks it takes to get to the tootsie roll centre of a tootsie pop.

Can you believe someone actually took time to research this question. http://www.emptyv.org/tootsierollpop.htm

I've always thought it was funny. I Laughed every time the owl ate it after 3.

CLASSIC!

How can anyone NOT remember this commercial?

I mean, seriously...

What I mean is, it's been aired since the 70s!

This is probably the LONGEST running commercial on T.V.
