Eponymous Foods: All Chocolate
Stuff You Missed in History Class
The Tootsie Roll
The creator of the Tootsie Roll was a man named Leo Hirschfeld and there's not a whole lot of readily available information about his early years. There were plenty of chocolate candies before 1896 but Tootsie Rolls were shelf stable even in the heat so they became a really popular year round treat. The second two-thirds of the show pretty much all fun I promise and a very hilarious and reiterative dance party on who invented this delicious treat. That sounds super fun in some ways it is but it has some very dark elements to it including a death by suicide with a firearm.
