Used to go to festivals in the late 90s/early 2000s and there was ALWAYS a rumor that one of the Chuckle Brothers had died. Or Cliff Richard.

And everyone knew how to draw the "smile" graffiti style "S".

And everyone knew some version of the promotion where you supposedly got free something if you got a Tootsie Pop wrapper with the Indian and the star on it.
