Gum Wrapper

A gum wrapper is the individual wrapper for a piece of gum. It helps keep the gum fresh, sanitary, and from sticking to other pieces of gum. Smart people hold on to the wrapper so they can spit the gum into it when it loses its flavor. Dumb people throw away the gum wrapper as soon as they open it and then they spit the gum on the ground or stick it under the table when they’re done chewing it. A gum wrapper is not a piece of trash. It’s a portable protector for unused gum that also doubles as a disposable device for used gum. What a novel concept.

Indian on a Tootsie Pop Wrapper

If you’re eating a Tootsie Pop for some reason, you always have to check the wrapper for an Indian shooting an arrow at a star. They aren’t on every Tootsie Pop, so if you get one, consider yourself lucky. When I was a kid, if you found an Indian on a Tootsie Pop wrapper, you could bring it into the store and get a free Tootsie Pop. Some stores still abide by that unwritten rule. If you send your wrapper to Tootsie Roll Industries, supposedly they send you a short story called The Legend of the Indian Wrapper. That’s bullshit. I’d rather have free candy than propaganda.
