How many licks does it take to get to the center of a totsi Pop?

Offically there is no answer. The tootsie pop company claims to have recieved 20,000 letters over the years from kids who had actually tried the numbers ranged from 500-5,800 with an average of 600-800 licks. This question is so popular two universities created licking machines to find the answer. There can't be an offical answer because for everyone its different depending on the amount of saliva used. It's kind of really weird that I know the answer to this question now that I think about it.

I did this problem with my calculus class. We used related rates to find the answer. I think that the average number each group of people got was like 304 licks. This was not an easy problem for us to solve, but we did.

At least try real SH** to get points, to raise your level! I think my 6 yr old knows this one. Just take a wild guess?

Depends on your size of your tongue and the way you lick your pop. It will vary for each person so we could all be right here. Just start counting next time you get one.

I tried that... 347 it took me. It was a summer day, though. Anyways, I'd ballpark it to around 300-500 licks. It depends on person to person, though.

"During the 2nd semester of an engineering class at Purdue University,\nthey reported that their 'licking machine,' modeled after a human\ntongue, took an average of 364 licks to get to the center of a\nTootsie-Pop. Then they tried to test 20 volunteers and found that it\ntook the volunteers and average of 252 licks. And then a chemical\nengineering doctorate student from the University of Michigan recorded\nthat his licking machine required an average of 411 licks per Tootsie\nPop. Soon after that, a group of students at Swathmore School used\nhuman lickers in a scientific experiment and determined it took an\naverage of 144 licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop. So there\nare the results taken from the only 'official' Tootsie Pop licking\nexperiments. The problem we have is the distance of difference that\nwas encountered in our studies. But this is the reason for the major\ndifference in the higher and lower number.......you MUST remember the\noverall surface area of everyone's tongue IS NOT the same and the\ndensity of the papilla(taste buds) IS NOT the same in every person,\nthus resulting in the difference in the number of licks!"

*lick* uh one\n*lick* uh two \n*lick* uh three\n*CRUNCH*\n\nso how many licks DOES it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Tootsie Pop?\n\nThe world may never know.\n\n(ok i guess that doesn't help...but really it can take as many as you can muster. If you lick it 5 times and suck on it for the rest ot the time, then technically for you the answer is 5...they never really said you could ONLY lick it...it was merely implied...ok maybe that still doesn't help...it's Tuesday afternoon and I'm having a little fun. I hope you got at least a chuckle and aren't mad...)

I'd say seven- I could not laugh if I tried, but they're pretty darn ticklish, if, as they said, you get the right spot.  not seizure-inducing, though.
