Tootsie Roll Anniversary

 

In 1896 Tootsie Rolls were invented. I can’t believe they have been around that long. I remember eating them as a child. I had some friend’s stick one to my Dad’s van window and it pulled the tint off. That was in the 80’s. I’m sure window tinting has came a long way since then.

Today 49 million Tootsie Rolls are manufactured daily. That’s a lot of Tootsie Rolls.

Here’s a great way to use up all those Tootsie Rolls you got for Valentine’s Day. Make sculptures.

All you need is Tootsie Rolls and toothpicks. Pull the Tootsie Rolls apart and use them as glue to attach the toothpicks together. 

Have fun celebrating the 116th year of the Tootsie Roll.
