Tootsie Roll

Tootsie Roll considers herself a great gourmet and, as such, she will consume nothing that has not “reached it’s proper vintage.” Some of the foods that she most well known for enjoying include: the lollipop you found under the couch cushion, the sandwich that you made for lunch yesterday but forgot to eat, graham crackers that have turned soft, cheese (the older the better), and milk that can be consumed with a fork. Her character was inspired by one of my brothers, who rarely takes the trouble to rinse the leftover food from his dishes, and my mom, who keeps old candy/fruit on the floor of her van/purse.
