Question:

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


Answers:
Depends on how good your tongue skills are.

LOL, depends, are you a biter?

The world may never know.

3.
The commercial with the wise old owl prooved it.
Wow! I thought I was the only one old enough to remember that commercial.
I don't feel so bad now.

Three, That's all that owl could get out of it.

Depends...where did you put the tootsie roll pop?

I have to be honest I have never made it. When I see the center I have to have it so I bite down and start chewing. MMmmmmmMmMMMM

the owl on the commercials says 3 lol

We did this as a science experiment in 5th grade- I think it was like 150 or something like that.

Three.. didn't you watch the effin commercial?

Not as many as it used to take. They are a lot smaller now.

3 occording 2 the owl!!!

as many as it takes to make yer tongue sore--yikes!.

my bro did it. took him 742 licks

Ha! I was eating a cherry Tootsie Roll Pop yesterday and wondering the same thing. The world may never know.

Not shure, but it would be a great experement to find out and to document.

69 sloppy wet licks

Well, Mr. Owl says three but I think it takes way more than that lol...did u know that students at a university (MIT I believe but don't quote me) actually did an experiment to test the "how many licks" hypothesis?? They actually created a mechanical tongue to lick the lollipop until it reached the center. I don't know the answer but I bet if you search for it online you can find the answer they got.

i don't know, my little girl bites hers way before it gets close to getting to the center.

...the world may never know

The world may never know!!!!

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

So, around 450 licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop

um....omg....i cant remember but i rly noe.....ughhhh........ im rly sry if this isnt like an emergency question then i hav this info from notes we had to take from a video from cooking class in my folder on a w.s. at school but its memorial weekend rly sry if i find out ill writ an answer

three :]

5,437 including sucks and licks.

Don't ask, my mom told me this years ago.

none- i don't lick I suck on them!

A lot. Trust me.

=]

I am not sure about licks. I mean what if it is a half lick and not a whole lick? Does it still count? And what if you sit it in your mouth for longer than 30 seconds, does that screw up the lick counting process? I wish I could help, but I myself am a sucker not a licker.
