Hey remember when we were kids there was that Indian on the tootsie pop wrapper who was shooting the star? There was a small urban legend that said if you got that wrapper you could get a free pop from the company....
I bought a bag for my students, ate one, and, Lo! no Indian. Gave them to some co-workers. No Indian. Was there some PC lawsuit or something that forced them to take the "Native American" off of the wrapper? Did I just get a bum bunch??
edit: found real urban legend on wikipedia |

| Ahhh...there are tons of things like that in Vice Magazine, one of my fav. free mags. They always have a crazy section where there are really inappropriate products that people send in. |
