During the 2nd semester of an engineering class at Purdue University,
they reported that their 'licking machine,' modeled after a human
tongue, took an average of 364 licks to get to the center of a
Tootsie-Pop. Then they tried to test 20 volunteers and found that it
took the volunteers and average of 252 licks. And then a chemical
engineering doctorate student from the University of Michigan recorded
that his licking machine required an average of 411 licks per Tootsie
Pop. Soon after that, 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

It probably depends on the person eating... there are different factors to consider. Length of licks, if the person sucks it all the time or just licks it... or how long he/she licks it and sucks... etc. (Okay is it just me or it's getting hot in here? Heheh.. kidding..) So probably people may answer different numbers. ;o)

I believe Mr. Owl said 3, but I tend to disagree. I mean, he's got a beak! I just can't compete with that crunching power.
I'm going to go with at least 87 full tongue wrap-arounds. And I don't mean to be dirty.

How did you ever think of such an original question. Bet this was never asked before little girl.
