How many licks DOES it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop!?

Question

Ok, i've tried this many times and I always forget where i'm at! Has anyone else ever tried this or do I just do random stuff more than anyone else?

Answer 1

it varies; variables such as tongue size, l**k speed, pH level of your saliva at that specific time, location, temperature, area of concentration (as in are you l*****g in the same area or are you l*****g multiple spots at the same time), l**k time (how long a l**k lasts)

Answer 2

One, two, crunch!!! -- Says the commercial.

No, you are not alone. I have tried many times, and like you I always forget where I am, cause I get distracted with something else.

Answer 3

My friend did an experiment on it.... It takes an average of 800-1000 licks

Answer 4

Let's ask Mr. Owl.

1......2......crunch!.

3.

Answer 5

it really depends on the size(lenghth and width) of your tongue...of course the pressure level applied to the tootsie pop is very important.

the viscosity of saliva, and chemicals in the body are of valid importance.

it could be a very in depth study.

Answer 6

I'd have to go with 3. It takes 3 licks to get to the center of the tootsie pop.
