Singers often have strict dietary habits to maintain their vocal quality before performances. While Judy Garland preferred tepid liquids to avoid throat swelling, Frank Sinatra held a unique fondness for Tootsie Rolls and various Life Savers candies. Sinatra, who started his career in Chicago, famously included Tootsie Rolls in his pre-show green room requirements. These candies, dating back to their 1896 invention, were even part of G.I. rations during World War II, underscoring their historical significance and Sinatra's affection for them as a beloved treat.
In a 1967 interview with The Evening Sun newspaper, Judy Garland emphasized, "Hot liquids cause swelling in the throat. Only drink tepid water or wine."
Sinatra's preferences were unique, as he requested Tootsie Rolls and diverse flavored Life Savers in his dressing room before performances.
