A vintage cartoon of two boys and a man. One of the boys is fat and says, "Whew! That's over! But I'm as weak as a cat!" The adult wearing a red T-shirt with a yellow letter T on it says, "Have a Tootsie Roll, Fatso! It will give you added energy, quick!"
Have a Tootsie Roll, Fatso!

For reference, the character in the red shirt is actually named Captain Tootsie

And the guy he's calling "Fatso" is actually named Fatso.

What if Fatso stops eating Tootsie Rolls and goes on a diet or ozempic? Will he still be Fatso?

By the rules of the day, he would be renamed to Slim

And it would then be unwise to mess around with him. A lesson Jim learned the hard way.

Will he stand up though?

Depends on how deeply he believes in nominative determinism.

I'm not sure if that makes it better or worse. If they were a real person it would be better. But being that it's a fictional character, it means the writters named him "Fatso".

the whole thing was advertisements for tootsie roll candies. so the name 'fit', i guess.

Pretty good super villain idea, tbh. (I have to assume villain, he’s handing out tootsie rolls after all.)

If the energy drink companies started making suckers we’d see so many toothless teens. Dentistry would be a fantastic career choice.

We literally get energy from sugar. So...
More accurate than most "energy" drink claims.

Are cats weak? I'm always impressed by their abilities. They sleep all day and only do like 5 minutes high intensity training a day max.
