One theory is that if you got one on the rapper you can send it in to the company and get a free tootsie pop but I never tried… although I can find out cause I have the time.
In fine ad executive prose, it tells of a man “long, long ago, when all lollipops were made alike,” who wanted to make a new kind of sucker with something special inside. But he couldn’t figure out how. Well, one day the man awoke “to find a grand Indian chief smiling at him. The chief told the man that he would help him make a lollipop with a chewy candy center, if the man promised the chief that he would never, ever, stop making them for people. The man promised. … The ‘Indian Wrapper’ is supposedly a sign that the grand chief has personally checked that particular lollipop for the chewy candy center.”
Welcome to the SDMB. Descriptive titles help everyone. I’ve changed the title for you.
I’ve also deleted the duplicate thread.
