Question

How many licks does it take to get in the center of a tootsie pop?

Answer 1

18,127, for the tongue of a common 8 or 9 year old, assuming just licks.

Scientists have been actually studying this, and they've actually made a machine to determine the exact number.

Answer 2

Honestly who would know most people dont count because they just bite it so it you just it it only takes one but i guess that doesnt really count because you bit it. idk??

Answer 3

the teacher of my third grade class had us do that test.93

Answer 4

the turtle, the robot, the owl, and the giant lizard monster say three, and you can't argue with a group of people like that.

Answer 5

Three studies that have been conducted. Each group contacted the Tootsie Pop Company to inform us of the results of their experiments:

~~~~~~~A group of engineering students from Purdue University recorded that their l*****g machine, modeled after a human tongue, took an average of 364 licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop. They tried the same l*****g test on 20 volunteers and found that the average licks to the center were 252 licks.

~~~~~~~A chemical engineering doctorate student from the University of Michigan recorded that his l*****g machine required an average of 411 licks per Tootsie Pop.

~~~~~~~A group of students at Swathmore School used human lickers in a scientific experiment and determined it took an average of 144 licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop.
