    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!!

    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.

    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.

    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

    • @saturnalia91
      @saturnalia91 Год назад +1

      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.

    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.

    @XrpSwordofSoulCrushingplus3 Год назад

    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.
