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.
FRANK LOVED LIFESAVERS
"The RED ONES"
While it's not exactly known why the 1950s and '60s hitmaker had such a fondness for Life Savers, it can be assumed he liked them for a few reasons. Undoubtably he enjoyed their sugary sweet taste, for one. But the suckers also might've helped him prevent dry mouth prior to performing. They may have also relieved throat irritation from using his voice so much.
Sinatra could've asked for a different candy brand, but his go-to was Life Savers. One could theorize that his penchant for them was due to growing up on the candy, and sucking on them could have reminded him of his days as a young boy. While Jolly Ranchers, for example, didn't become popular until the 1960s, Life Savers came out in the early 20th century around when Sinatra was born. It's possible that after taking a liking to the hard candy as youngster, he simply stuck with them ever since. Sinatra's last meal was a grilled cheese, a childhood classic, after all. Another longtime favorite of the "New York, New York" singer was Entenmann's cakes, which launched in 1898. Famously, Sinatra had the grocery store dessert delivered to him weekly.
