I first heard of Tootsie pop drops in 1997 when a friend asked me if I could find these for him.  I had no idea what this candy was and unfortunately I was unable to find it for him.  Good news kids!  The Tootsie pop drop is back!  I am unsure of when the Tootsie pop drop was first invented but I do know that the Tootsie pop was invented in 1930.  The tootie pop drop is made up of a tootsie roll center covered with a hard candy.
