Remember Tootsie Roll Banks?

Tootsie Roll Bank

The other day, I had a weird random flashback. I remembered having a Tootsie Roll bank as a kid. Did you? Typically, I would receive them as gifts for Christmas or Easter and they'd come filled with small bite- sized individually wrapped Tootsie Rolls. Once you were done eating the Tootsie Rolls candies, you had a cool bank to save up for more Tootsie Rolls

Did you know you can still purchase these? Although the art has changed, they still exist at dollar stores and on Amazon.

  1. I had the same kind of bank, only in my case it was a candy cane filled with smarties that once they were all eaten, the candy cane could be used as a coin bank. They top usually had a sticker covering the coin slot.

  4. I've always loved Tootsie Rolls and had at least a couple of these things. I also bought them for my kids (probably because I wanted tootsie rolls).
