The Legacy of Tootsie Roll And All Its Iconic Products

In 1896, Tootsie Roll began its journey to becoming one of the most iconic candy brands ever! Since then, they’ve won the hearts of billions of chocolate lovers worldwide! However, did you know that Tootsie also makes more than just sweet little chocolaty midges?

As so many people are unaware, the facts are clear: this candy brand is deep in the industry! In fact, they have over 20 popular, well-respected brands under the Tootsie umbrella! You’ll most likely recognize most of these brands on our list, and like we once were, you too will be surprised to learn that your favorite candy brand also makes several other legendary brands that you probably love and enjoy just as much! 

So before we dive into our Top 21 List, we first want to pay homage to one of the most legendary confectioners to ever make candy! And just like a Tootsie, we promise to keep it short, sweet, and straight to the point. 

The Amazing History of Tootsie Roll

As mentioned above, Tootsie entered the candy industry in 1896. After that point, there was no turning back! Soon after the brand’s successful launch, it relocated to NYC and began delivering to businesses around the region by horse and buggy! However, they did get a delivery truck in 1916, which makes them one of the oldest companies to transport products by vehicle in the United States! 

Two years later, in 1918, Tootsie Roll released a WW1 advertisement declaring its support for America’s Bravest. The ad was clear, “The Greatest Deserve The Best.” Once again from 1942 – 1945, Tootsie goes to war by providing “quick energy” to American troops. According to the USMC, the candy company was known for dropping pallets of Tootsie Rolls from planes in the Korean War. The candy nourished the soldiers and was even used in emergencies to plug bullet holes! 

Not only did Tootsie Rolls earn a top spot in American culture, but they also earned a well-respected place in US military history as well. So as you can see, this all-American, iconic brand is more than just about candy, they’re about American culture and the betterment of this country! With much more history to make, we think Tootsie is here to stay, forever, we hope!
