Tootsie Rolls in war? Yep, it’s a real—and wildly unexpected—part 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. It’s 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 beauty and cultural depth of the oiled paper umbrella (油纸伞) — a traditional Chinese and East Asian craft that’s quietly making a return in New Zealand’s art circles, heritage festivals, and eco-conscious design markets. Handcrafted with bamboo frames, hand-painted motifs, and waterproofed with natural tung oil, these umbrellas were once essentials for everyday life and ceremonial use across Asia.

In Aotearoa, the oiled paper umbrella is gaining traction not only as a cultural artefact but as a symbol of slow craftsmanship and sustainable living. From Chinese New Year celebrations in Auckland and Dunedin to boutique stores in Wellington featuring curated handmade goods, this umbrella carries a sense of elegance and meaning that resonates with Kiwi values of authenticity and storytelling.

Whether you’re a collector of Asian antiques, a set designer, a sustainable fashion lover, or simply someone drawn to the poetic beauty of hand-painted heritage, the oiled paper umbrella holds a special place. It invites us to pause, reflect, and protect not just from rain — but from the erosion of cultural memory.

NZ Relevance Highlights:

Fits into NZ’s growing appreciation for handmade, natural products

Popular at cultural festivals (e.g., Lantern Festival, Moon Festival)

Ideal for film, theatre, and wedding design with East Asian influences

Appeals to heritage educators and multicultural classrooms

Represents cross-cultural connections between Māori and Chinese artisanship in shared respect for nature-based materials
