TOOTSIE ROLLS
"ONE of FRANK'S FAVORITES"
Frank Sinatra's favorite candy was the Tootsie Roll. He enjoyed them so much that he even appeared in a Tootsie Roll advertisement in 1942. He was also known to request them in his dressing room as part of his rider, and some even say he was buried with them according to Tootsie Roll Industries.
That's right, even Ol' Blue Eyes himself had a list of demands on show day. Per Forbes, the "New York, New York" crooner was a big fan of mini Tootsie Rolls and liked to eat them for dessert after he feasted upon a spread that included fruit, a tray of brie cheese and crackers, egg salad sandwiches, chicken salad sandwiches with no mayo, ham and cheese sandwiches, and chips and pretzels.
It makes sense that Sinatra would want to have food on hand to feed himself and his crew so they could deliver an energetic and high-quality performance for fans every night. Not to mention, who doesn't love Tootsie Rolls? They are all kinds of sugary, chewy, chocolatey goodness, and they're individually wrapped, making it easier to share with a big team.
