How many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop?

This is a serious question, and I know it is not 3! Seriously, has anyone tried this? How many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop?


OMG i totally did this on a school trip once!

it took me 3 tries cause I got pist and kept eating them!
ahh I cant remember- I think it was like 2, 400 something.... Ill have to ask my friend, he still laughs about it.

I could probably go about 200 licks before I gave in! 2400? That is some serious patience!

LOL it was a looong bus ride. Probably more stubbornness than anything actually- I remember my tongue bieng so raw, I didn't touch one of those for years!!!
