From the new biography of John Updike, which Im reading right now: Penner recalled the day Updike came in and read with mock gravity a letter from the Tootsie Roll company sent to him because he had mentioned the candy in Rabbit, Run. The company thanked him for choosing its product as a representative symbol of American life and begged him to accept as a token of gratitude a six-gross box of Tootsie Rolls. Updike put the letter down and addressed the class: Such are the benefits of the literary life.
