Small but mighty!
Tootsie Rolls are a type of sweet that was originally from Chicago, but has now proven its success across the US and the world. The candy was originally from Chicago, being made in 1908, but the candy grew across the country by World War II, where it was seen as a patriotic food to eat. Indeed, soldiers had it included in their rations, and there are even stories of soldiers using it to repair broken trucks and machinery. As a candy, it is a very good one, which has a strong chocolate flavor. I definitely enjoy them, as do most people, as proven by the candy's continued growth.
