I like the story. It is very interesting, but I guess that’s the point. I myself have an Indian wrapper and searched up the rare image. I found the rumor was false, but the rumor I heard was different. I heard that if you get the Indian wrapper you could get 1,000 dollars if you redeemed it. Welp, I guess both rumors are false. :/
This is just an attempt to throw us off the trail. I, for one, am convinced a fabulous prize awaits those who seek out the Indian star wrapper.
In the ’80s I worked for a Mom and Pop store that did redeem a “full-Indian” wrapper. To nice kids.
I have one with the word grape and a star at the end of the arrow. The wrapper is grape colored and I have had this for a long time! Is it worth anything?
When I was a kid probably sometime between 2000–2001, my brother and I bought tootsie pops from Walgreens in Gilbert, AZ. The cashier told us that if we found a star on the wrapper we would get free ones. Sure as hell my bro found a star on his and the guy gave him a free one. So it has worked in a least one instance!
Back home in Benson Minnesota they used to do that we get free suckers for those rappers so that is true
It was always true where I grew up. All stores honored the wrapper with Indian shooting bow and arrow. Fun times
Where I grew up, If you found a full picture of him( not even a little bit could be cut off) It would bring you good luck, and fortune. Of course I trusted that theory as a little kid, then when I moved people would get them and keep the rapers until they had ten, then they would cash them in for a free one at the school office. High school comes along and everyone forgets about the legend…
I’m 39 years old and remembering hearing about it. My parents wouldn’t let me even try because “It’s just for advertising like the golden ticket for Wonka bars” and I finally remembered this after my kids got me a Tootsie pop and saw it on the wrapper. Need to keep the legend alive!
