When I was a little girl in the 70′s,we were able to turn in the Indian and star papers off the Tootsie Pops,and get a free one. In the 70′s there were no chain stores. I have a little girl now,and we tried to turn in a Tootsie Pop paper, and was told they do not honor that here. What a bummer for her not to get to experience getting something for nothing.

The birthday party picture was what I always looked for on the wrapper. When was it taken off?

I’ve been wondering for years, what happened to the picture of the birthday party? That was what I always looked. When was it taken off the tootsie pop wrapper?

This is a very interesting myth. Never tried it myself, but it’s pretty awesome to hear that so many local stores would honor it. The rumor probably stayed alive from this fact alone. I remember a kid from school once told me about this, and of course i still always check for it. I’m from NJ and my husband is from GA but he never heard it.

I was always told that the whole indian, as well as three whole circle tootsie pop logos was required to “win.” Yet I never found out how to turn it in. All websites I’ve looked at though say the whole thing is a myth.

I’m 13 and in the 1st grade I was told that if you found the star you could go to Walt-mart to get a roller bladers, skate borads, and a bike, but I never try it out and I do think it is a nice thing to talk about.

I’m 32, and when I was in grade school our bus driver used to let us stop at a local general store on Friday afternoons if we’d behaved all week. If you had a Tootsie Pop wrapper with the Indian shooting an arrow with the star on the end, you could turn it in for a free Tootsie Pop. The store is closed now, and none of our local gas stations honor this. I’ve still got a few saved in case I ever run across a store that still does this. What a fun childhood memory!
