I did a Tootsie Pop once, and it takes exactly 728 licks to get to that chocolatey center.
...
And I still wonder why I took the time to find out.
EDIT: Phate, are you from England? I told a joke having to do with Twinkies at a chat room one time, and absolutely no one got the joke because they were all from England.

oh no my friend, it takes 305. the tootsie pop company did a study(given they did not reach the center at the same time IE they licked only one side)

think it would depend on:
how big your tounge is
how much saliva you are producing at that time
and
how big the sucker (lollipop) is

I think it probably took me 728 because I had a dry tongue at the time. But still, that shows how many licks with a dry tongue you get to the center of a tootsie pop.

Im with him.
They said that was the answer in that one commercial, so it has to be true.

Yeah well I went out and bought AXE body spray and have yet to be mauled by women in elevators.

You need
tag not AXE.
I couldnt tell you if it is working or not seeing as I was mauled by women before I changed deoderant.

You are all quite mistaken. As I have learned from a great [url=http://www,askaninja.com]Ninja[/url], it takes 5,000 licks to the center, and by center i mean the stick. No chewing, biting, or scraping with the teeth allowed.

Well I was talking about getting to the
chocolatey center of the tootsie pop. To get to the center of the entire thing is a different story worth careful consideration and pondering.

You must have extremely hard sharp teeth, then...

That wastes the whole point of the sucker, you might as well just buy a tootsie roll or a Jolly Rancher.
