I actually tried this during the quarantine because I was so bored. I ended up trying it on multiple tootsie pops just to make sure I got a more accurate reading and as it turns out, the owl is right, it's three.
Am I the only one who finds it creepy how the man says "The world may never know"? This deep voice of his just makes it sound like something out of a horror movie or a documentary about a murderer.
I was so unfathomably bored as a kid one night years ago that i tried it out. It took me about 2 hours and 15 thousand licks to get to the center of a cherry flavored tootsie pop.
0:16 "Mr. Owl. How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?" "Let's find out. One. Two. Three. *BITE!* Three." 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
Wow this commercial is going way back from when I was a kid, nevertheless I still enjoy watching these old classic commercials to this day. I think they need to start showing the older classic commercials to like this, especially the Halloween ones. Well it is October and Halloween is tomorrow.
The Mandela effect is so crazy. I remember this commercial as a kid and I always remembered it as "Mr. Owl, how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?"
OMG, I remember that opening logo from when I was a kid. And I've always loved that Tootsie Pop commercial. I only just discovered there was a longer ad featuring additional characters and extra dialogue.
I remember first seeing this ad in 1978 or 79, and I've seen it oftentimes during commercial breaks over the years. I never knew this ad went back to 1969 or so!
Why did I always think the ad said “How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop?” but instead it actually says “How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?”
Did You Know?: The voice of Mr. Owl is Paul Winchell, the legendary voice actor responsible for Tigger (Winnie the Pooh), Dick Dastardly (Wacky Races), and Gargamel (Hanna-Barbera's adaptation of the Smurfs).
“The world may never know” - “A group of engineering students from Purdue University reported that its licking machine, modeled after a human tongue, took an average of 364 licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop. Twenty of the group's volunteers assumed the licking challenge-unassisted by machinery-and averaged 252 licks each to the center.”
WTF, thats some Mandela Effect shit! I thought I remembered it saying "how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop" Not, "How many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop"! WTF

😂
He was trollin'... before trollin' became a thing.
SuperPat88 no not rly
Am I the only one who finds it creepy how the man says "The world may never know"?
This deep voice of his just makes it sound like something out of a horror movie or a documentary about a murderer.
He does sound like he would narrate a trailer of an old horror movie.
It's the same voice as Charlie the Tuna.
I don't remember it being like it is in this video
I believe This commercial was made in 1970, thus Making it 49 years old.
Wow!
Literally one of the greatest ads of all time. Genius marketing
At the time of this writing, variations of this commercial have been airing for over 54 years. It truly transcends generations.
Yeah it’s timeless commercial
I did the math. Its 813.
Edit: HOLY S**T HARVARD IS ACCEPTING ME INTO ITS SCHOOL LETS GOOOOO
Nice
I was 7 years old when this aired. Classic tv.
I remember when I was 9 I was curious and tried for myself. I made it up to 196.
Wow mines was actually over 800
@🍋 Lemon Roblox 🍋 cool
Interesting
I was so unfathomably bored as a kid one night years ago that i tried it out.
It took me about 2 hours and 15 thousand licks to get to the center of a cherry flavored tootsie pop.
The small ones take about 200-300
The bigger ones take about 600-700
I’ve tried it multiple times
HOW CAN A COMMERCIAL BE SO GOOD THAT IT CAN'T BECOME DATED?!?
I tried this when I was younger and got to about a thousand before I gave up
Really, RUclips? An ad before watching this legendary commercial? Smh
I remember watching this when I was small and this ad always bring back memories
49 years and this commercial is still going.
This commercial has been I'm my mind for the past week lol I use to laugh at it as a kid and it still brings me to laughter years later.
"Mr. Owl, how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?" only the 90 kids will remember, thanks Mandela effect
Lydia Oberdorf Lol yeah I always remembered it like that, and I'm not even a 90's kid.
Lydia Oberdorf I remember it like that and I'm not a 90's kid
Lydia Oberdorf
This ad is still playing.....you don’t have to be a 90s kid to remember smh
I remember that! I also remember it only showing the owl.
ST 321 This ad is old as shit lol way before '90s. It's from the '70s.
This commercial is a national treasure.
Tootsie Pop Commercial recorded from The Charlie Brown & Snoopy Show, The Mr. Owl marathon is about the late 60's
No wonder the naked kid sounds like Charlie Brown.
There was a Charlie Brown and snoopy marathon in the 80’s I remember watching it
"Mr. Owl, how many jabs of the coronavirus vaccine does it take before you're safe from the coronavirus?"
The world may never know. 😛
Really! 🙄 and u still have to wear a mask!
@Stroopwafel I didn't know that 🤔
Owls can't move their eyes so you know he was lying to start with.
The commercial is still being shown today. It always has the owl so it isn't the full commercial but it's still a pleasure to watch.
Great Halloween commercial well over 50 years years later even after seeing it back in the in the early’70’s
Just saw it on television

As a kid, I never got that the owl totally robbed that kid of his candy. That owl is savage!
I remember this in 2011, when me and my grandma used to be obsessed with tootsie pops
Nostalgia....when I was about 5 I really loved this ad for some reason.

Good times and I love owls. I remember watching this commercial as a kid in the 80s.
I was expecting the meme version but this is still good
Nostalgia is hitting me so hard rn 😮💨
I know everyone’s freaking about all that Mandela effect stuff and I’m here to say I remember it exactly like this
How long will they show this commercial on television? The world may never know...
I remember I counted one time and it took me 524 licks
I was obsessed with the green one 💚still waiting for a green tootsie pop
The Mandela effect is so crazy. I remember this commercial as a kid and I always remembered it as "Mr. Owl, how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?"
I have a mandela effect in this commercial. I always thought Mr. Owl was orange.
This was possibly the greatest commercial back then as a kid you couldn't wait for it to pop up again haha kinda like your favorite music video on MTV
OMG, I remember that opening logo from when I was a kid. And I've always loved that Tootsie Pop commercial. I only just discovered there was a longer ad featuring additional characters and extra dialogue.
Somebody get Mythbusters on this right away!
(I know somebody will say "Kari can lick MY tootsie pop any day")
she can tho
purdue university did an experiment. it’s an average of 263 licks
Have you noticed that this commercial is still existing
I love that they were still airing this commercial well into the 2000's.
Why is this ad promoting littering...shouldn't an owl be wiser.
Things scientists can’t solve
1. Global warming
2. How long will Earth stay alive
3. RUclips Reccmondations
4. How many licks it takes to get to the center of the tootsie roll pop.

Lol I 💙 this Commercial
God I miss this commercial
0:00 I saw Sally Brown
It's been a long time since I saw that commercial
The reason it's funny is because it's an adult unrepentantly stealing candy from a child, because apparently tootsie pops are just that good.
0:18 I'm pretty sure it was "How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?"...
No, tootsie roll center, always been. You are remembering an edit of the original

Who remembers being able to get a free tootsie roll pop if there was a star ⭐ on the wrapper? Good times!
You from florida? We used to get free ones in florida if it had a star.

They actually just aired this specific version on Freeform.
Toon4Thought It aired on there again
Kid of the 70s here. To use a millenial phrase…this lives rent free in my head to this day. 😂
why the heck is that kid naked tho?
I can't believe they still air this commercial. But I'm glad.
I saw this commercial on last Friday when I didn't have school and ET the extra terrestrial aired on a analog tv channel called MYTV 28.
Tested this myself after seeing this commercial many many years ago. Took me 147 licks before reaching the tootsie roll center.
