Urban Legend


Legend has it that certain Tootsie Pop wrappers behold the image of  an Indian man shooting a star with a bow and arrow. By collecting 5 of the said rare wrappers, one could acquire an ENTIRE BAG of Tootsie Pops!
 
Little does everyone in the world know that this legend is just that...a legend. "How are you so sure," you ask? At the age of 8 my brothers and I believed otherwise. We scavenged for 5 of the Indian wrappers and hustled over to our nearest convenient store with our hopes up.

However once we explained the situation to the clerk, he merely laughed in our faces baring his 'sommer teeth' (some are here, some are there). He went on to taunt us saying that there is no such thing and we silly children were foolish to believe otherwise (he had an incredibly complex vocabulary for someone with such terrible dental hygiene-and was very condescending). To this day I have not eaten a single Tootsie Pop.
