- Finally, an answer to an age-old question. In a new study, scientists say they can figure out how many licks it takes to get to the center of almost any lollipop.
0:55 He sounds so depressed to hear the answer that it takes 2500 licks To get to the center of a tootsie pop.
Yeah man, he probably hates his job
@@KoolHolyKnight No its cause he will never reach the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop
Oh. My. God. We've been waiting to get an answer to that question for so many years! And now, we finally know! YES!
the only news story i care about
mr. owl, how many people looked up this question on youtube in quarantine out of pure bordem?
well lets see.. 1 thousand... 10 thousand... 30 thousand.... 40 thousand!
U r the MVP! 🏆 best comment 🤭
Ive been wanting to know this since I was 5 yo. Yipheeee !!!!
I've been waiting for this since my teenage years
Im from the future
i been waiting since 2012
@@NellieKAdaba Well it isint true
I know!
In high school on a band trip, we decided to find out. We passed the tootsie pop around the bus with each of us taking one lick. Yes, it took us about 2300+ to get to the center!! Sounds gross now but it was one of those fun and bonding moments that marching band kids love to remember - even if 50 years later!! Go Princess Anne Marching Cavaliers and Mr. Ronald Collins!! :-) Deb Johnson
thats nasty Deb

My 10 year old son just tested this, and it took him 1,027 licks.
I vividly remember this ad. The owl just throws the wrapper on the ground and nobody cares. I miss the old days.
That's when they were made from paper and wax, not plastic
Nobody gives a hoot if I pollute
Pops can tabs Sharp enough to split a squirrels Throat.
Bring back red dye number three
Fred Flintstone says, Winston tastes good like a cigarette should.
That's back when priests still gave out erector sets, And nuns had bad habits.
"If there's anything I can't stand, it's a smart owl." I hadn't heard that line in decades. They usually showed the short version after this.
My 10 year old just did it and it took him 1,027 licks.
I was probably about 10 when I did it in 1153
0:34 he says the world may never know..., Then the news reporter sayz apparently we already know, it tickles me everytime
Theres two mandala effects!! Not only the way the boy asks the question but another mandala effect: I remember the owl going “one, two-“ and then biting on three. Not counting all the way to three and then biting it/ biting on four.Just me?
yeah i agree with u and whats the mandela effect? lol.
When my grandpa was still he had a really old tv so he would watch really old shows and sometimes the tosipop commercial would come up
i hope that guys doing ok he sounded like he was on the edge while broadcasting that lol
Sometimes in the 2000’s they made it only the Owl part and he says “how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?” And the owl goes straight to “Let’s Find out”
That’s the one I can remember very well
Such news. Much wow.
A student study by Purdue University concluded that it took an average of 365 licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop using a "licking machine", while it took an average of 253 licks when tried by 20 students.
I would not have survived another day not knowing...
Now we know.
Actually it's 1270 licks. If it's an inch across, or 2.54cm, then getting to the CENTER of a tootsie pop is only half of that, so 1.27 CM. Meaning it's not 2500, but rather 1270.
They should’ve made a cartoon out that commercial
this is big brain time.
i got 557 licks to a pop
And they did a "actual study" and found out that was incorrect it only takes a few hundred lol
Narrator: The world may never know.
Mr.Beast: Allow me to introduce myself
Slow news day I suppose
To get to my Tootsie to Roll , it takes a whole human head all night long. And to toss my salad, it takes a Thousand Islands or let's just say a Thousand tongues!!!
Last last Halloween after trick or treating, my grandson, who was 10 at the time, and I were sitting in the back seat of the car and we decided to test how many licks it took. My daughter was driving and we stopped to pick up pizza. So he started licking & I started counting. In the beginning he was licking quite quickly but soon realized he wasn't getting really far and slowed the pace down a little,
but did not stop. Pizza in tow we continue our journey home still licking that Tootsie Pop as we pulled up into the driveway. Short time after we were able to answer that question how many licks does it take to get to the center of A Tootsie Pop ? Exactly 600! So tonight we may try that again but 600 was the magical number that night.
I counted 43 as a kid, take THAT science!
I'm 15 about to be 16 and I know this commercial
Why hasn't this video received more views? Millions of us wanted to know the answer and I could never figure it out, I did exactly like the Owl's approach... 1... 2... 3... Crunch... maybe a few more than that but I never got that far before it was crunch time... BTW: Did anyone catch the mismatched measurement systems: They used 1000 licks per centimeter but measured the body of the pop in inches? LOL
1 inch is 2.54 cm, so he multiplied 2.54 by a thousand. So between 2.3k and 2.7k licks depending on texture and saliva?
It's more astounding that people still use the archaic imperial measurements.
Just about to say shame thing about metric@@saturnalia91. Cave man's 10 fingered Abacus.
Thanks for doing the Mathematics. What if we employ five owls, and first one to go crunch gets snapped by the turtle.
Now that's old math. 🙃
I’m not sure if Mr. beast classifies as a scientist
they never said it was mr beast and this was made before he made that video
So you really don't need a " researcher'" to figure this out just need a curious kid and grandmother willing to count it out. So we have now published our results and hope to see yours happy Halloween
It's over 9000!
Strap it to a powerdrill and find out ladies
As a kid I counted. 1153 got me to the center
I remember this commercial back in 1993
I did this as a kid many many years ago. It took me 147 licks. I wrote down one tally mark per lick. I did full slurpy licks like Mr. Owl did so maybe that's why so few.
The guy was trying to say it on air with out sounding like a perve 😂
2086 for me
Give me life time supplies of tootsie pop or I'm sueing u
How many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop
Liar Mr Beast did it in 270!
My life is complete I may now rest
We owe the scientists a big thank you for this.
Outstanding!
actual L for telling us bro, im heated now, read my twit longer NOW!!!
Are you telling me i have licked a tootsie pop over 620,00 times
Lies... Took my son 263 licks... And he was 7 at the time
That owl doesn't have any patience.
No, STILL the world WILL NEVER KNOW. Because, EVERYONE says something different, there is no TRUE answer!
Only 2,500?
I did it with only 843 licks.
I did it and I got 713 licks

Kid Sounds like Charlie Brown
The end 😂😂😂
Superhead cuts that time in half guaranteed
its actually arround 260
It's about 270 not 1000. LIES I SAY. Ask mr. Beast how many
The way it cuts to the information! XD
Gezuz, this commercial is just all around bad. lol
lol why
i was a proud 3 year old when i did after 2346 licks
Good the kid was talking to an owl & not a donkey
1 of my favorites 👍
117 matpat
Apparently we know now
I have the answer the the tootsie pop one it is 2,500 🤓☝️
Actually it's 270 LICKS watch Mr beast
I got 300 licks
It took me 390 licks
Hooooooooot!
Lil Kim brought me here.
No the world may never know
Wait a minute.
Haden rocket scientists somewhat recently misstook imperial for metric?
I met Mr owl twice more than Three ❤
I got 0
Was the boy played by Peter Robbins? The same voice actor who played Charlie Brown in the 1960s?
Infinite licks
400 so far im taking a break 410 420 430 440 450 460 470 480 490 500 510 520 530 540 550 560 570 580 590 600 610 620 630 640 650 660 670 680 690 700 it took 700 licks for one side
1200 licks
2,500 WTF
It took @ MR.Beast 270 licks
1000 licks of the surface Per centimeter.
And the sphere's 1 inch diameter. Must be O.D., gee not the I.D..
Yet the outer diameter gets progressively smaller with every Lick. And minus its not Gooey but chewy Larger than pea sized center.
Just watch matpats new vid
Math is wrong. 2.54 cm in an inch, but you don't have to go through the whole inch since the tootsie is in the centre. Only half as many licks. Actually, the tootsie has mass, and is not a point, so it would take even less licks. I would guess about 1000 licks on one side of the pop to uncover tootsie. Just an approximation.
7625 licks
They found out 🙌🤯😳🤣! what he said can’t Stand and smart ahh🍑🦉
It took me 700 liicks
Does the size of the tongue and the diameter of the lick not matter 😅
I think it’s 3
Nostalgia
rong its400
Good practice❤😅😊
#whyouruinedit
270
It’s impossible
Its 270 man
Why does Gulliani and Trump look like Bevos and Butthead? Asking for a friend. Sp. Night.
No 700
I got 705
Of my comment is very poor. I have had of opinions since my understanding of 1963. And decades before.Maybe centuries? 😢
Eighsenhower was president once. So many others
I was born in 1960. Saluted with John F Kennedy jr. At Arlington. Robert . Looking to the Washington. Arlington hollowed ground.Ask Robert F Lee? 😢 Night of stupid.
E way wrong.

I meant Robert by his side. The eternal flame ❤
Bs its between 250 and 400 try it
