Lollipop lick counter

It's a sad day in the Tootsie Pop factory when they start rolling out that shoddy 70's owl again. We thought we'd only have to hear that annoying "how many licks does it take" phrase and see that weird scholarly cap on the occasional VH1 nostalgia show. But no, looks like Tootsie still drags the owl out for useless schwag like this "technical" answer to his nagging quest to count lollipop licks. We still can't quite believe they actually used an LED-display for this, but we are relieved they haven't resurrected that un-PC "Indian-shooting-the-star" promotion they supposedly once trotted out (yep, it's an urban legend).
