It only takes like 1 lick then bite. You don't even have to bite hard on a tootsie pop. Blow Pops are much more complex in their lick-to-center ratio.

Tasty gum-center vs. nasty chocolatechewieick-center.

GUM WINS!

Random bump as our friend, Pachter, gives us his thoughts

Eurogamer: Let's talk about E3. Who would you rather be: Nintendo, Microsoft or Sony?

Michael Pachter: It really depends on this 3DS and how good it is, because I don't think Nintendo has anything else. Nintendo is on the verge of - certainly not dropping into third place or anything - losing its dominance, because I really truly believe that Sony Move is the Wii HD. I really believe it. That's been my quote: I told everyone a Wii HD was coming this year, it just happens to say PS3 on the box. It is the Wii HD.

Who is Pachter, and why should his opinion have any weight? An honest question.

And Moogle, I always meant to reply to your Blow-Pop vs. Tootsie-Pop comment, and yes, I'm with you. I will always prefer a delicious, gum-center Blow-Pop over the nasty chocolatechewieick-center Tootsie-Pop. I don't know why tootsie rolls were every popular, let alone now.

EDIT: Well I just read the summary at top of the link, and it appears Pachter is a video game industry analyst that helps investors make the right decision. (Fat chance.) I obviously don't know his specific record, but all opinions I've read from industry analysts have been full of shit.

Move On.

Is Pachter the glassed guy who's sometimes on GameTrailers?

I like Pachter, he may not always be right, but he does offer some interesting takes on the industry.

Though this one just seems like a cheap cop-out.
