Even as an adult I learned that the company who made these never meant for kids to get a free sucker if you turn this in.

Yet when I was a kid our local convince store did honor this. If you got the Native American with the star I could turn it in for a free one.

When I was growing up in the late 90s, we’d walk to 7/11 and buy tootsie pops for a quarter and bazooka gum for a dime. They would honor tootsie pop wrapper for a free one

We'd wear one glove on our hand and put our trousers on backwards, which was the style at the time.

Yep I never had a store that didn't honor that as a kid. Wonder if any store would still honor that today?
