There's actually a nod to two seperate things in this design

Awesome. $5. I always tried to save the wrappers, but never submitted any. I wonder if they still have prizes?

Might be stronger without the Prize Burst. Nice!

I have to agree with previous comment. I love it, but I don't think it needs "where's my prize." Would be stronger if you had to get it on your own.

I remember my friend and I wrote to the company because we wanted our prize. They sent us a illustrated(one page) story about the little indian boy, and some letter about how they don't know how that rumor started. This design just brought that memory back. 5$ and I would wear it.

Sweet! I always wondered if it was just the area I grew up in that had this myth. I'm glad to see it was all over the place.

omit the "where my prize"... and replace with... harmlessly politically incorrect since 1931. (that's the year that tootsie pops were invented...)

love the design. can we change the shirt color to one closer to a tootsie pop color? ie, the pure red, dark purple, brown, or orange? the maroon and black are just not quite right.

WONDERFUL!

I definately think a tootsie roll color would be nicer. I just had a strange urge to put it in these colors for now

I always thought that you won a prize if you sent in a wrapper with the indian shotting the star...

I collected the wrappers too but I also never sent them in. Therefore, I would buy this shirt in a heartbeat.

i LOVE this! I think the "where's my prize" would be AWESOME on the back of the shirt!!!!!!!!!!

The maroon is my favorite flavor. What is it, raspberry? Well, I also like orange, and blue :O) The shirt design is a 5$

The maroon and blue wrappered ones were always my favorites too

I'm not trying to be mean when I say this I swear! I honestly think I saw this at Wal-mart the other day, or maybe Hot Topic...

Send a link to where you guys saw this idea, because neither of you sound like you know for sure, and credit should be given where credit's due

Indian on maroon is the way to go... I like the point of the design but I just wouldn't wear it with the "where's my prize" bubble.

$4, yeah i would like a question mark in there

ariana221
ariana221 on May 24 '07
oh and to dkschwenk - i dont think there should be a question mark - it was make the similarities to the lollipop wrapper less. keep as is, maybe try to center prize more? i like it all though!

Yeah, I would sport one with pride now that I know people would relate to it. Ahh sugar filled childhood memories, and the elation of getting the "prize" wrapper.

great detective work, renfrue

This design brought that submission to mind also,

but I don't think I would have been able to find it.

the kid's facial expression fits perfectly

Thanks for the link, helo. We don't have tootsie lollies in Australia.

The experience of this design makes me kind of wish there was some sort of a search engine with weywords for the past designs of the site, so people can see if they might be reiterating old ideas. Oh well. Maybe they'll like mine better anyway, hah.

You MUST keep the where's my prize, and definitely use the wrapper colors. Not black, but the reddish maroon is good. Also, it might help to make an outline of a wrapper around it with some scrunching around the edges??

When I saw this submission, it all came back to me. I had totally forgotten about that rumor! I love this shirt, but print it in the maroon one. 5$!

Gah! I would totally buy this!

I sent in a wrapper and got a letter back saying that it was all a rumor and I wouldn't get any free candy.



I was so disappointed :D
Digdag88
Digdag88 on May 26 '07
hahaha in second grade everyone in my class would get a tootsie roll pop and everyone'd check to see if their wrapper had the indian on it, but almost EVERYONE's always did.
Digdag88
Digdag88 on May 26 '07
oh and $4, but wit hthe where's my prize bubble on the back maybe?
anonymityisbest
anonymityisbest on May 26 '07
i think the text should match the word "prize"

like all off the text should be in bubble letters.

SJR06 on May 26 '07

I'd forgotten all about that rumor...and now, with the snopes link, I know it never was true. So sad!



As for the design, I'd just have the indian and the star, leave off the text. Let people come to the realization of what it is on their own. And print on brown, because the chocolate ones were always the best.

j_adorechocolat on May 29 '07
i Love this! i must have it!.....though the prize burst should be on the back or something, the simpler the better on the front.
