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


Question: A group of engineering students from Purdue University recorded that their licking 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 licking 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 licking 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.

the world may never know

341 last time I checked

My friend did it one time and she said 2,109 but idk if thats true or not.

1....2....CRUNCH!

With a good set of teeth....none.....one bite and your in!!!

The world may seriously never actually know! my friend and I tried it once though (note:we were EXTREMELY bore) we probably completely messed it up but we got about 976 licks lol. try it some time

9,823
thats my guess

466 i did yesterday!

A - two!!!!


For the millionth time.

the last time i cheked it was something like 1000

At Pardue University and the University of Michigan this question was answered with the help of a licking machines, they both reported 364 to 411 licks ttc, in human trials the numbers shrank to 144 to 252 licks ttc. I'm a sucker these kind of studies so I'm going to conduct my own research, and I think you should too.

it takes just 3 licks

alot
