How many licks...

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


An age-old question that really deserves answering...

i dont even know what one is
fucking yank confectionary

Answer

Just for you megatron, a scientific answer.

If I can find a link to the original Q. I will post it

cheers
i will try and buy one in one of the yankie doodle donot shops that spring up in our towns

cheers champ
at least i know the score
i always liked going to other countries and trying their resident chocolates etc.

i like:-

milk duds there is something called poppets that are similar in the uk
butterfinger - nothing like uk stuff
reeses pieces - nice
i fucking hate hershey choclate its so crappy - brit choc is so much better and belgian is even better still

anyway

i dunno...i always got impatient and just ate the damn thing!!!

but i really want to know to....if someone even has an answer.

A licking machine? Wow. I'm so proud to have the engineering school of Purdue in my state.

4 no more no less.

screw tootsie pops! Blow Pops rock my world!

see i'm the reverse... i can not *stand* foreign chocolate. i don't know what it is. not enough sugar, funny taste... maybe hazelnuts... i don't know. non-american chocolate is yuck yuck yucky.

except mars bars

I like it when you rock your world, or when blow pops rock your world..

What the Hell am I saying?

I just like the idea of her having her mouth wrapped around anything with the word "blow" in it.

OK, I know I am new here, but, isn't that last post from josh a tad overboard?

I love the grape tootsie pops. but I will have to agree that blow pops rock too. esp the watermelon.

hi and welcome. that may not be considered over the top if sg wasn't a porn site. but I guess it's acceptable.

That fucking owl has been lying to me since I was a child.

I am sure I have deep emotional scars due to the bastard and his little games.

(oops I cursed, teehee)

No kidding! It takes the owl 3 every time -- every single time!!!

One.... a-two-hoo... tha-ree. Three.

yeah and the owl eats the same flavor every time. haha. that's not scientific enough. to come to a conclusion, the owl has to try different flavors, several tootsie pops of each flavor, constant conditions of the owl's mouth, the same conditions of the environment ie standard temperature and pressure, plot the data points of at least three trials, draw a best fit line, and extrapolate to zero. and that would just be for how many licks it take for the owl to get to the center.

Schoolgirl, you are so on girl, just on.

Check that link called answer above, a group of Purdue students built a licking machine to answer the question.

A LICKING MACHINE

The possibilities are endless.

tootsie roll pops are evil they put an addictive chemical in them that makes you want to eat them instead of licking them. Damn the Man for this

wasn't this a Lil' Kim song?

i used to count a lot in elementary school. if i remember correctly, i usually got somewhere between 260-280. school was boring.

Yes! Blow Pops are MUCH better. With Tootsie Pops it feels like "Yeah! Here is your Poo prize!".

as an average it takes 384 licks to get to the center. I know this for a fact because I did a science project on it in 8th grade.
