tootsie roll effect

The effect that occurs after the tootsie roll critical number has been met or surpassed. The result is while making bowel movements, the tootsie rolls come out like when went in, as if there was no digestion at all.

See all those twentysomething pieces of brown on the floor? This was a direct result of the tootsie roll effect.

Hype: The Obama Effect

A right wing propaganda film portraying Barack Obama and his campaign as a series of lies and falsehoods. Citizens United, a "conservative research organisation" and an obviously unbiased source of information, makes their case against Obama based on his popularity and eloquent speeches which, in their eyes, disqualifies a man as the leader of the United States.

Sean: “Well, you can blame it on the new Whole Foods store that opened last year - it’s the Whole Foods Effect. "
