I was just curious but did anyone ever hear about this? Ok so if you had a toostie roll pop and on the wrapper if it had a Indian shooting a star you would get a free bag of tootsie roll pops if you sent the wrapper to the company in the mail? I remember in 3rd grade when my teacher did that..but she didn't get any back. Well anyways yesterday I went on to this site [urban legends] and they had an article about it and I guess it was false and it was some type of urban legend...you can read about it here..

My 3rd grade teacher gave us Tootsie Rolls when we did something good or got good grades or behaved.

I always looked for the Indian shooting the star when I was a little kid. One time I almost sent it in. The envelope was covered with drawings of stars and "I won"s.
 But that's false?! That sucks. D: |

I remember that. I guess they started the rumor to promote the product, and decided to leave it mysterious so they wouldn't have to give away free merchandise.

Omg, are you kidding me? I swear I posted in here last night, and if I didn't then CB ate my post or something because I DO know that I typed it up.
Anyway, when I was little I used to get so excited when I got one of those wrappers, but that's all it was.. I never bothered to send them in. I did think it was real at the time, though. I don't remember when I read the article telling my poor disappointed soul that it was a myth. Thanks for the burst of nostalgia, though.

I've heard of that. As a kid, I always looked for the star, but never thought to send it in. I also heard something about winning if you get three whole circles (in the center). |
