Tootsie Rolls

A rather large order arrived today from Mid-Fitty. Not a single Tootsie Roll.

I made a $7.00 purchase a month or 2 ago, and got like 10. They must be trying to improve relations with Canada.

Could be my fault at the Nationals in Lebanon they had some in dishes and I had a few let me know and I will send some. The company that I work for used to put a box (2pieces) of beech nut gum in with each shipment they stopped doing that and all hell broke loose. It is the small things that we cling to in life and make us happy well sort of .https://tse3.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.M...=0&w=316&h=110

Sy had a large bowl on the table at their booth at the F100 Western Nats last Saturday. Maybe I'm just getting old but Tootsie rolls just don't taste the same as they did when I was a kid.

The Tuesday cruise night I've been going to for 8-9 years has reliably put out a tray of tootsie rolls every time.
They have a life-size manikin of a dour-faced 90-year-old butler holding the silver tray.
Little kids are afraid of taking any. I'm not. Always load up and that becomes my dinner for the most part.

p.s - I have a boatload of RockAuto magnets on my toolbox - they toss one in every time I place an order. No two magnets are alike so far.

I'm trying not to take this all personally. I spent almost $500, and I assumed that I'd be swimming in Tootsie Rolls. Maybe they are on "back-order".

I've thrown all my old receipts away but there listed was a part number for Tootsie Rolls. Serious, check your old receipts. Or, ask. All packers may not show attention to detail or know what an important part of the order Tootsie Rolls are.

I got the same notice last night when I was looking at their wing vent windows. It says: "Unless otherwise noted our parts fit only these applications: 12 volt, negative ground, F-100, 6 ½’ foot flareside (A.K.A. stepside) bed."

So I guess I can't use their vent windows since both my trucks are 6 volts...

Maybe your shipping weight was on the cusp of going to the next level of expense and they were saving y'all money. ;-) I've got a bowl full on my table, I just never developed the desire to eat them while drinking beer.

Yuck. I just happened to crack open a beer and took the first drink. The thoughts of Tootsie Rolls is pretty repulsive with the taste of beer in my mouth.
