Question

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

Answer 1

only ONE

but you must have the right INCREDIBLE TONGUE

Answer 2

Scientifically: You have to do is measure the amount of saliva you produce per l**k, measure the volume of the Tootsie Pop, find the amount each l**k your saliva takes away from the pop, and divide that much by the total volume of the Tootsie Pop.

Anecdotally: "I just did it today and it takes 446 licks to get to the chewy center of a loli pop. Both of my friends did it today too and we are all 13 years old. One of them got 442 and the other got 449. So, around 450 licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop."

From Tootsie Roll Inc.: "We've been asking the question since 1970. Many have tried to l**k their way to the center of the Tootsie Pop, and many have failed -- for they couldn't help but bite. But for those proud few who do make it to the center, and manage to keep count of how many licks it takes, we hold a special place in our hearts."

Another answer/theory:

It has been scientifically proven by professional tootsie roll lovers, that it takes 127 licks to get the the middle of a tootsie pop, where the tootsie roll center is located. However, those who did not see the center after 127 licks, couldn't stand the pressure, and bit the tootsie pop, causing the center to be visible. I hope this answers your question.

Answer 3

lets find out, 1...2...3...bite.

the world will never know.

however in reality it was "guessed" to be around 233 "full licks"
