Tootsie Pop

Consumer Staples

A Tootsie Pop is a hard candy lollipop with a chewy, chocolate-flavored center, invented in 1931 by an employee of The Sweets Company of America after he combined his own Tootsie Roll with his daughter's lollipop. The underlying candy, the Tootsie Roll, had itself been invented in 1896 by Leo Hirschfield, and the company later renamed itself Tootsie Roll Industries in 1969; by 2002 the company was producing about 60 million Tootsie Rolls and 20 million Tootsie Pops every day.

Entity identity for the business product-service.sector GICS enum value this member already carries, per the phase 3 entity-backed browse bucket pilot (docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md, owner decision 2026-09-28 on business product-service.sector, w-bucketpilot-gics-0929). The sector fact itself, with its own citation, remains on the member entity unchanged; this edge only adds the durable entity identity the enum value already names.
