Chewy. Strange.

What do they call this "flavor"?

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 22:06 (twenty-two years ago)

they were invented after the song. (this may not be true).

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 22:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Adam can you FedEx me a Twinkie?

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 22:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Yo email me a hoho biyotch.

Worst. Euphemism. Ever.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 22:10 (twenty-two years ago)

FACT:The first time I heard that "Tootsie Roll" song is when the DJ played it near the end of the night at my wedding!

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 22:10 (twenty-two years ago)

I would have said "what the fuck is this?" but there were kids and brand new in-laws around. I may have mouthed it silently.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 22:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Now you must make the giant leap to Tootsie Pops.
(btw, tootsie rolls not in pop form are kinda nasty. well, not nasty, just blah and pointless to eat)

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 22:12 (twenty-two years ago)

See, I prefer Tootsie Rolls to the Tootsie Pop filling.

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 22:25 (twenty-two years ago)

that "Tootsie Roll" song is AWESOME, you had an excellent wedding DJ!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 22:27 (twenty-two years ago)

The last song was "One More Time"! And he didn't cut it off!

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 22:33 (twenty-two years ago)

They were actually a biker couple from Chicago, but he used to roadie for some unnamed "rock bands".

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 22:33 (twenty-two years ago)

I was at a wedding and the groom, bride and I asked the DJ to play "Digital Love" but he was shocked listening to it on his headphones - "wah wah wah, it's all midrange, no bass, blah blah - I can't put this on" - not understanding that it kicks in. The bride was like "do you want to get paid, dude?"

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 22:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Daft Punk would probably be the best wedding band ever.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 22:37 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't understand the question!!!!

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 22:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Sorry. My awful is grammar.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 22:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Jel, what's your opinion of American chocolate?

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 22:54 (twenty-two years ago)

well, imagine American chocolate watered down to about 10% of its original taste, make it into a small, really hard and chewy nugget, and viola!

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 22:55 (twenty-two years ago)

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 22:56 (twenty-two years ago)

So...is it chocolate? Or is it supposed to be? That's kind of what I was getting at in my original post.

I expected it to be more like fudge.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 22:56 (twenty-two years ago)

They're made out of organic free range Tootsies.

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 22:57 (twenty-two years ago)

it's chocalatey

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 22:59 (twenty-two years ago)

I kinda think Tootsie Rolls look and taste like little turds.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 22:59 (twenty-two years ago)

@d@m, you should try out "circus peanuts". You'll really like those.

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 23:03 (twenty-two years ago)

haha!

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 23:15 (twenty-two years ago)

A friend of mine once hung a circus peanut from her rearview mirror. After a few months, it hardened a bit, but that's about all.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 23:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Have you tried Dee's Nuts?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 23:16 (twenty-two years ago)

sorry, retro Dre/Snoop moment.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 23:16 (twenty-two years ago)

food products should not look like one thing and taste like another

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 23:17 (twenty-two years ago)

like green ketchup?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 23:18 (twenty-two years ago)

actually I retract that since candy cigarettes are where it's at

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 23:21 (twenty-two years ago)

now those are truly offensive - especially when you try to light them.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 23:40 (twenty-two years ago)

try dipping them in bourbon first

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 23:42 (twenty-two years ago)

or PCP?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 23:47 (twenty-two years ago)

now you're talkin

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 21 January 2004 23:51 (twenty-two years ago)

whatever you do, don't EVER buy and eat "Lik-em-AIDS". You won't believe what's inside.

― donut bitch (donut), Thursday, 22 January 2004 00:42 (twenty-two years ago)

(my worst. post. ever.)

― donut bitch (donut), Thursday, 22 January 2004 00:42 (twenty-two years ago)

I think I'm causing bad jokes all over the boards today. blame me - or hstencil

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 22 January 2004 00:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm pretty sure candy cigarettes are entirely the reason I started actually smoking.

― Allyzay, Thursday, 22 January 2004 00:46 (twenty-two years ago)

I do not wish to blame you, dear Spencer. But I cannot praise you, it gets Allyzay all mad for some reason.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 22 January 2004 00:51 (twenty-two years ago)

We had barbecue at this place in Georgetown that gives out tootsie rolls and wet-naps with the bill.

― TOMBOT, Thursday, 22 January 2004 01:01 (twenty-two years ago)

i played "music sounds better with you" at JaX0n's wedding... i think it's better than "one more time" though.

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 22 January 2004 01:05 (twenty-two years ago)

I ate a moist toilette once, because it smelled sweet.

― donut bitch (donut), Thursday, 22 January 2004 01:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Now, they make Moist Toilette soda! (It's alternate name is Talking Rain Ginger Ale)

― donut bitch (donut), Thursday, 22 January 2004 01:07 (twenty-two years ago)

haha I thought Nordic meant that the DJ played the commercial jingle

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Thursday, 22 January 2004 01:09 (twenty-two years ago)

I have never to my knowledge eaten American chocolate!

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 22 January 2004 18:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Don't.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 22 January 2004 18:36 (twenty-two years ago)

No, do! Hawaiian chocolate is awesome.

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 22 January 2004 18:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Let's send Jel to Hawaii! (That would be a great reality show, or he could be the superhero bringing ROCK to the islands.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 22 January 2004 19:17 (twenty-two years ago)

I think my two favorite candy treats as youngster were the lik-em-aid sticks and the filling inside charleston chews. I always wanted them to sell these things in a separate package.

― BrianB (BrianB), Thursday, 22 January 2004 19:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm very happy for you adam, as Tootsie Rolls are my favourite things in the world!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 22 January 2004 21:22 (twenty-two years ago)

remember the bank?!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 22 January 2004 21:24 (twenty-two years ago)

got one around here somewhere

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 22 January 2004 21:38 (twenty-two years ago)

What do you all think of the fruit flavored Tootsie Rolls?

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Thursday, 22 January 2004 23:45 (twenty-two years ago)

are they still chocolatey? If they're just fruity I might check 'em out.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 22 January 2004 23:47 (twenty-two years ago)

No, they're just yummy artificial fruit flavor.

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Friday, 23 January 2004 00:18 (twenty-two years ago)

are they better than those Cream Saver thingees? Strawberry n cream, orange n cream. mmmm

― oops (Oops), Friday, 23 January 2004 00:22 (twenty-two years ago)

they could be good then...

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 23 January 2004 00:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, they have the same shape and consistency of Tootsie Rolls.

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Friday, 23 January 2004 00:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Are tootsie rolls ever sweaty? (the candy of course). Like little moisture droplets form on them?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 23 January 2004 00:32 (twenty-two years ago)

goodness no!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 23 January 2004 00:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Flavor rolls (the fruity Tootsie rolls rosemary mentioned) are indeed superior to the faux-watery-"chocolate" flavor.

But it depends.

It's the only way to get a dependable LIME flavored chew candy that best approximates the long out-of-print Lime Starburst flavor that used to exist.

But beware. The colors on the Flavor Roll wraps don't necessarily match what you'd expect. The Brown and yellow wrappers are Lemon, Not Vanilla. The baby blue wrappers are Vanilla, not Blueberry or Peppermint. etc.

― donut bitch (donut), Friday, 23 January 2004 00:36 (twenty-two years ago)

(I only know this because the M*cr*s*ft shuttles are equipped with bins of candy on them at all times, and the most popular candies are the Flavor rolls and these weird Canadian Big Jelly Circle candies.

― donut bitch (donut), Friday, 23 January 2004 00:38 (twenty-two years ago)

I HATE it when they throw mint or vanilla in with FRUIT flavors. It makes me want to puke.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 23 January 2004 00:46 (twenty-two years ago)

nine years pass...

Korean War

During the Battle of Chosin Reservoir in 1950, mortar sections under the United States Marine Corps started to run out of mortar rounds. The radio men of these sections started requesting more rounds. There were too many nearby enemy anti-air emplacements however, and the risk that they might lose any airlifted supplies was too great, so they had to wait. After two days of waiting, all the mortar sections ran out of rounds. At this point the risk was taken and supplies were dropped anyway. When the troops found the crates of mortar rounds, they found the crates were instead filled with Tootsie Roll. The cause of this error was that a supply specialist did not know that the codename for mortar rounds was "Tootsie Rolls", and instead ordered hundreds of crates of Tootsie Roll candies instead of mortar rounds.[4]
