Back in 1970, there was a phenomenal commercial that aired across the US. Candy manufacturer Tootsie started a campaign to shine a light on their Tootsie Roll Tootsie Pops. They gathered a cast of iconic actors who became The Boy, Mr. Cow, Mr. Fox, Mr. Turtle, the Narrator and, of course, Mr. Owl!

Come back to 1970 to see how this commercial come together and has endured through the years. And, once and for all answer the burning question: How many licks does it take to get to center of a Tootsie Roll Tootsie Pop? SPOILERS: It's more than three.
