1,245,675,662 or something like that i'm still licking. ha ha.

why does it matter? is this the reason for life? to find out how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop! no

Modern Marvels televison show jsut said 300+.

247

562 depending upon salt content in your saliva and the linger times of each suck.
Also the execution of the sucking motion, are the twists clock wise, counter clock wise, is it held in the mouth for a period of time?
If held in the mouth is it directly on the tongue and the roof of the mouth.
If its held at the side between the cheek and the teeth, the walls of the tootsie pop will wear down unevenly towards the tooth side since it is exposed to more enamel, than the soft moisture saturated cheek.

All and all 562 licks.
