Today after 50 years on this earth I just discovered I was lied to.
As most children I grew up loving Tootsie Pops. The hard candy shell hiding the treasure of chewy goodness inside. I even tried several time to find out the all important question of "How many licks goes it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?" I never made it without biting...I guess the world will never know.
But I thing that excited me more than eating a Tootsie Pop was searching for the Indian shooting a star. It had to be complete, it must have the whole Indian and the Star.
As a Child this was the closest thing to Charlie finding the Golden Ticket, except this was real!!!
See I was told that if I sent one into the company and you would be rewarded with a free Tootsie Pop. A free Tootsie Pop...What a prize......what a Major Award!!
But my world came crashing down as I found out today that this is just a myth, not real, fake news and a total lie!!!!
You can read all the sad and tragic truth here if you want to see the sad reality yourself. Just be aware there will be no turning back.
Has anyone else heard about the Indian shooting the star before? Also It got me thinking what other things I believed might not be true. How about you? (this is meant to be light so no political or religious comments please)
