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.

Step into the vivid world of Woodblock New Year Prints (ć¨çĺš´çť) â a traditional Chinese folk art once used to celebrate the Lunar New Year with colour, luck, and meaning. These hand-carved, brightly printed works were not just art; they were symbols of protection, prosperity, and storytelling, passed down through generations.
Now, in New Zealandâs multicultural and artistic landscape, this ancient practice is being reinterpreted by Kiwi artists, educators, and cultural communities. From printmaking studios in Wellington to Lunar New Year festivals in Auckland and Christchurch, woodblock New Year prints are making a comeback â not just as beautiful dĂŠcor, but as a deeply symbolic cross-cultural dialogue.
With rising interest in heritage art, slow print techniques, and East Asian aesthetics, Aotearoa is embracing ć¨çĺš´çť in ways both traditional and modern. Theyâre being used in:
Art exhibitions and gallery installations exploring identity and diaspora
School and university programs teaching cultural literacy through hands-on printmaking
Local design markets showcasing sustainable, hand-crafted giftware
Collaborations between MÄori and Chinese artists focused on whakapapa and pattern-based storytelling
This resurgence is more than nostalgic â itâs a statement. A statement that even in a digital world, people still crave human touch, cultural richness, and ritual connection.
