U.S. soldiers in Korea found that Tootsie Rolls were the only food they could thaw during temperatures of -30 degrees below zero. In 1950, the radio code word for 60 MM mortar ammunition was, “Tootsie Roll.” To prevent the enemy from learning that ammunition was running low, American troops battling in the Chosin Reservoir in North Korea would radio, “We need more Tootsie Rolls.” One such transmission was translated verbatim by the radioman at the airstrip. When the next airdrop was made, parachute packs floated down with - Tootsie Rolls. The besieged Marines, their rations frozen solid, made the best of the situation. They tucked away Tootsie Rolls in their clothes, where they remained soft enough to eat.

Tootsie Roll Industries has received numerous testimonials of how Tootsie Rolls have actually helped save the lives of service personnel who were near starvation. 

One Marine wrote,

“By large, Tootsie Rolls were our main diet while fighting our way out of the Reservoir. You can bet there were literally thousands of Tootsie Roll wrappers scattered over North Korea. No doubt it made a nice change from Spam.”
