Over the course of 17 days, Marines fighting at North Korea’s Chosin Reservoir during the Korean War put out a call for “Tootsie Rolls,” their code for 60mm mortar rounds. When supplies were finally airdropped to them on the ground, they opened the crates to find… candy. Thousands of actual Tootsie Rolls.

They made good use of the Tootsie rolls. As Clint Eastwood said in Heartbreak Ridge, " improvise, adapt and overcome"
