Angi asks: How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?

Thanks for asking! According to the Tootsie Roll Industries web site:

It depends on a variety of factors such as the size of your mouth, the amount of saliva, etc. Basically, the world may never know.

There have, however, been many people who have tried to solve the mystery. Their web site lists three scientific studies that have tried to answer the question. The results were between 144 and 411 licks to get to the center.
