A rumor spread from one household to another, about finding a wrapper with an Indian Shooting A Star from a Tootsie pop would allow you to get free candy. It's true that the "Indian Shooting a Star", as it's called, is on tootsie wrapper. However the prize of find a wrapper with the figure is not. No one is sure where the rumor started but it has been given life throughout the ages with stores giving children free tootsies pops once they turn in a wrapper with the Indian Shooting a Star. It's also not that rare, about 30% of Tootsie Pop wrapper can be found with the figure.
The Politically Correct term is Native American Shooting a Star, however household to household aren't always P.C. For many years, the company responded to kids who wrote in to claim their free Tootsie Pop with an apologetic note. In 1982 the tootsie company created a short work of fiction called The Legend of the Indian Wrapper. It was intended to serve as a sort of consolation prize.
