How Tootsie Rolls Became a Lifesaving Weapon in the Korean War

What seemed like a frustrating miscommunication soon became a valuable survival tool. The Marines discovered that Tootsie Rolls not only provided a crucial source of energy, but also served as an unexpected solution to sealing leaks in military equipment. In a battle where every second counted, this sweet survival hack saved countless lives and turned the tide of the war.
