folk group- consumer

Examples;

"the lucky cigarette" - when one in a package is upside down, you save it for last. or when one is discolored.

and is one color lighter better than another/ why??

"the tootsie pop indian" - good luck when you get the indian on the wrapper that is shooting the star.

the black line on the inside of the gum wrapper - i remember this having some significance back in junior high, don't remember exactly what..

and does it mean anything when you get two pieces of cereal stuck together?

what other examples can you guys come up with??
interesting concept, i think.
