Answer 4

In 1931, the famous Tootsie Roll Pop was born. Tootsie Roll Pops were a revolutionary new confection, as they were the first lollipop with a soft chewy center. Over the years, Tootsie Pops have become part of American history. They have been featured on classic television programs and several motion pictures throughout the years.

Tootsie Pops are the No. 1 selling lollipop and are widely known by consumers trying to answer that age-old question: "Mr. Owl, how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop?" To date, we at Tootsie Roll have received many thousands of letters, each with a response unique to the author. The real answer may never be known!!

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

We've been asking the question since 1970, when the original "How Many Licks?" commercial first ran. Since then, intrepid lickers both young and old have taken up the challenge of this mystery.

Many have tried to lick their way to the center of the Tootsie Pop, and many have failed -- for they couldn't help but bite.

But for those proud few who do make it to the center, and manage to keep count of how many licks it takes, we hold a special place in our hearts.

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.

Swarthmore Students lick away.

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.
