Depends on the quality of the lick.
three, sweetie-everyone knows that - why-just ask mr. owl!
We will never know.

This question has had MUCH debate over the years. After researching this question for you, I have found several controversial comments...and my conclusion is...how hard are you licking without taking one single BITE?
Tootsie Fact:
Students at Whittier Elementary in Waukesha, WI determined that it takes an average of 9 minutes to reach the center of a Tootsie Pop.

Here's what research has said:

We are aware of three studies that have been conducted. Each group contacted us to inform us of the results of their experiments:
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.
Plans for the Purdue licking machine
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.

another website, called Stupid Questions, says:

I have actually tried this one. It took me about 300 licks to reach the center.
Many studies have been conducted with machines and people. The average is around 250-350. The only problem is no two tootsie pops are alike.
The center is often closer on one side than the other. Also it depends on who is licking and how many times they swallow.
So "the world may never know" the true value because it is impossible to determine a number that would always be true for every tootsie pop.

THIS GOES TO SHOW YOU THAT PEOPLE PONDER OVER THE SILLIEST THINGS...actually, your question made me try it...it took me 382 licks!
