  1. 2oo .....

  3. alot

  4. The World may never know...

  5. Here is some research that I found.. the link is below but here is the conclusion..

    The data suggests that it takes approximately 505 licks to reach the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop when alternating the l*****g side. Since the procedure calls for equal l*****g of both sides of the Tootsie Roll Pop and completion is determined by core contact on either side, one could reach the core with fewer licks by focusing on only one side of the Tootsie Roll Pop. If one were to select the side closer to the core, it would theoretically require approximately 253 licks to reach the center.

    The data also suggests a substantial variability in the number of licks required to reach the center, with a standard deviation of 167 licks for two sided l*****g and 84 for single side l*****g


  6. Got there on 197 licks one time. No body can l**k better then I can!

  7. I think it's the same amout of times as this question gets asked per week-

  8. Pretty sure it hasn't changed from the other zillion times this has been asked...... 212.  The president of Tootsie Roll was on "Unwrapped";  they have a l*****g machine to actually test them.....

  9. actually it took me 213

  10. Ugh, you're killing me. It would have been a great post if you would have got it right.

    It's Tootsie POP, not Tootsie roll. Tootsie rolls are those little chocolate things.

    You FAIL.

  11. i never l**k the poor tootsie pop until i get to the center. i always end up biting the poor thing until i crack it open and then chew it up, i do not have the patience to l**k it !!  

  12. well i don't l**k tootsie rolls..i chew them!..but the with the pops, i don't know i'd get too bored of counting.

  13. took me 226

  14. A Tootsie Roll or a Tootsie Roll Pop? LOL

    211 says Perdue University who actually tested it.
