Tootsie Rolls are chewy chocolate-flavored candies that have been manufactured in the United States since 1896. They are one of the best-selling candies in the world.

In 1896 Tootsie Rolls debuted, introduced by Leo
Hirshfield of New York who named them after his
daughter’s nickname, ‘Tootsie’.

Tootsie Rolls were the first wrapped penny candy in
America.

The original sponsors of the ‘Lone Ranger’ were
General Mills and Tootsie Rolls. They alternated
every other week.

Did you know that a snail only has one foot?
A snail moves with a series of muscular contractions
like waves that pass along the bottom of the foot.
To help it to move, the snail produces a trail
of slime from a gland under its mouth. You can
often see these slime trails on paths, plant
pots and even on windows.

The largest land snail ever found was 15 inches long and
weighed 2 pounds!

Snails’ bodies produce a thick slime. Because of this slime,
they can crawl across the edge of a razor and not get hurt.

Some snails are hermaphrodites which means that they have
both male and female reproductive organs.

Snails can sleep for 3 years without food.
