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

Question

I guess the world will never know...

Answer 1

Here are some results of some test done on the question of how many...

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.

Based on the wide range of results from these scientific studies, it is clear that the world may never know how many licks it really takes to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop.

Answer 2

You are absolutely correct!! Because everyone is different~some lick/suck till they get to the center, others about half way then they bite & others start off biting. Personally, I lick/suck till nearly to the center then bite! Yum~wish I had one!!!
