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.
That’s so cool of them. Now I need to know the origin of the rumor then. Is this child-created folk lore? That adults just decided to make real?
