    My grandpa actually used to tell me this story about the tootsie rolls, he was apart of the chosin reservoir, they had to thaw them under their armpits, many of them were dying of frostbite in their dugouts, tootsie rolls were the only thing they had to eat for a time since the were sent those instead of rations - years later he would attend reunions every year for those from the chosin few and he had a north star pin based off of the north star they followed for navigation and there was a version of this star pin with a tootsie roll on it - one of my favorite pins in my collection since it reminds me of him ♡ So interesting to hear stories about it

      He didn't just add 2 stars. They were originally in 6 rows of 8 stars each. He had to reconfigure the rows and spacing to fit an odd number of 50 stars. And it ended up forcing him to alternate the stars into 5 rows of 6 and 4 rows of 5. It's clever and looks more appealing to the eye since the new configuration looks like a starry sky.

    Knocker uppers in this video reminds me of something we have had in Egypt traditionally, a job called Mesaharaty (المسحراتي).
    Al Mesaharaty duty is to wake people up before sun rise to eat their pre-fasting meal (sohor سحور) in Ramadan since the times when clocks didn't even exist. He used a small drum on which he would tap a specific rhythm and sang to wake people up.
    I don't know if the rhythm which they sang was the same throughout history, but it have always been known to us as this song:
    "2es'ha ya naym wahed al daym, Ramadan karim (اصحى يا نايم وحد الدايم، رمضان كريم)".
    Which translates to "wake up who ever is sleeping, worship the immortal God, Ramadan is a generous month". It might be a bad translation but I tried my best 😅.
    We don't need mesaharaty now because of alarm clocks and smartphones, but the tradition is still going in many places across Egypt and kids wait for them to hear their names called by their local mesaharaty.
    The word mesaharaty came from the word sohor, which is the name of the pre-fasting meal we have before the sun rises to prepare for fasting.
    Mesaharaty roughly translates to "the man whose work is caring for people's sohor", similar to other words like meghanawaty مغنواتي (singer) from oghnya اغنية (song).
    I also have always wondered how mesaharaty would wake people up at that time and never missed, maybe they did the same as the knocker uppers!

(Ik that the marks don’t matter really, it’s the thought that counts) Anyways even though the clips had to be short, I feel like there could’ve been more information tho (there’s probably a full documentary on it lmao idk) Besides that, it was interesting to find that out! 🤪
