History
DOTS were introduced in 1945 by Mason and trademarked that year. In 1972, Tootsie Roll Industries acquired the DOTS brand by purchasing the Mason Division of Candy Corporation of America. Prior to that acquisition they were manufactured by Mason, AU and Magenheimer Confectionery Manufacturing Company of Brooklyn and later Mineola, New York.
Crows are the oldest candy in the DOTS family, first created in the late 19th century. Original dots date back to 1945, Tropical Dots to 2003, and Yoghurt Dots to 2007. Sour Dots were introduced in 2009-2010.
