I found different studies varying from 144 to 413 licks.
+A group at Purdue made a licking machine that took 364 licks, but the average of a group of volunteers to 252 licks.
+A licking machine at the University of Michigan took 411 licks.
+Student volunteers at a Swarthmore Jr. High took 144 licks.
+Then this study http://www.emptyv.org/tootsierollpop.htm found an average of 413 licks.
The average of these studies is 317 licks with a standard deviation of 117, so I'd say that it takes about 317 licks to get the the center of a tootsie pop.

I heard this on "Hollywood Squares"--a university did an actual study on this and it took 411 licks. :)

It depends if you bite it or not. Me, it takes about 10 licks before I want to bite it.
