“Tootsie Rolls are just chocolate Starbursts”

A Tootsie Roll is a chocolate-like, taffy-like candy, first made in 1907. A Starburst is a box-shaped, fruit-flavored soft taffy candy, first manufactured in the 1960s. “Apparently Tootsie Rolls are too boring to be just chocolate anymore.  Just had an orange one that tasted like a Starburst” was posted on Twitter on November 10, 2008. “Non-chocolate-flavored Tootsie Rolls are basically just Starburst, but they also have vanilla, and they’re easier to open” was posted on Twitter on November 13, 2008.

Wikipedia: Tootsie Roll
Tootsie Roll is a chocolate-like, taffy-like candy that has been manufactured in the United States since 1907. The candy has qualities similar to both caramels and taffy without being exactly either confection, and does not melt. The manufacturer, Tootsie Roll Industries, is based in Chicago, Illinois. It was the first penny candy to be individually wrapped in America.

non-chocolate-flavored Tootsie Rolls are basically just Starburst, but they also have vanilla, and they’re easier to open.

After trying cherry and lemon flavored kinds, I have come to the conclusion that Tootsie Rolls are chocolate flavored Starbursts. Discuss.
