Tootsie Rolls in war? Yep, itâs a realâand wildly unexpectedâpart of military history. During the Korean War, U.S. Marines requested mortar rounds, but due to a misunderstood radio message, they received boxes of Tootsie Rolls instead. What seemed like a mistake turned into a lifesaver: the chewy candies were used to plug bullet holes in fuel lines, repair gear, and provide emergency energy in freezing conditions.
This surprising story of how a sweet treat became a battlefield tool shows the bizarre and brilliant ways soldiers adapted under pressure. Itâs a tale of resilience, innovation, and⌠chocolate?
If you're into crazy history facts, military hacks, or unexpected war stories, this one's a must-watch.

Discover the delicate brilliance of čşéżčąĄćŁ â Chinese chess (蹥ćŁ) pieces inlaid with intricate mother-of-pearl (čşéż), a centuries-old decorative technique celebrated across East Asia. This visually stunning video showcases master artisans carefully crafting each piece, layering shimmering shell fragments into richly lacquered surfaces.
For New Zealand viewers, this is more than cultural appreciation â itâs an invitation to explore how traditional Eastern craftsmanship can inspire modern Kiwi design and storytelling. As interest in Asian-Pacific artisan goods grows among Aotearoaâs interior designers, collectors, and cultural educators, these handmade chess sets speak to a deeper desire for connection, elegance, and craftsmanship.
Mother-of-pearl work resonates deeply with New Zealandâs own PÄua shell traditions, forming a bridge between Chinese decorative arts and MÄori design sensibilities. Whether you're a lover of fine objects, a maker working with natural materials, or an educator exploring cross-cultural art forms, this is a rare look into how old-world craftsmanship continues to thrive â and inspire â today.
Why it matters in New Zealand:
Aligns with growing Kiwi interest in slow-made, natural-material goods
Inspires local artisans working with shell, lacquer, or game design
Appeals to collectors, designers, and educators passionate about cross-cultural heritage
Connects with Aotearoaâs deep appreciation for objects with story, skill, and soul
