| 1:41.3 | Hello and happy Friday, I'm Holly Fry, and I'm Tracy V. Wilson. |
| 1:49.3 | We mentioned, I mentioned, when we were talking in our eponymous foods episode this week, which made me giggle a whole lot once we got past the sad part, that I would mention a thing that seems to have happened with Leo Hershfeld's story, which is very sad. |
| 2:09.3 | That I don't know if it was done deliberately, but I have to wonder if it wasn't to kind of get distance from the way his life ended, which is that if you look at most histories approved by the company that makes that delightful treat, his last name is misspelled. |
| 2:34.3 | As Hershfeld and not Hershfeld, even though that is how he spelled his name throughout his life, there wasn't it wasn't like he changed his name at some point or adapted some so that to me, maybe go, is this or no one can look up what really happened there, but that might be my own conspiracy theory. |

| 3:53.3 | Right. And so I mean, there are, I think there are probably many people that would suggest that just because of the quick energy they offered in ration packs like that could have saved many people's lives. |
| 4:05.3 | But there is a very specific Korean war one where that the Marine Corps officially shares this story that during the Korean War, the first Marine division was in action and they were in this horrible sub freezing situation. |
| 4:22.3 | And they ran out of ammunition and they called for 60 millimeter mortar ammo and they called them tootsie rolls. |
| 4:30.3 | And they use that code name, but the radio operator who received this message did not know this. |
