    Pongky had a great answer by the way

    Several groups have actually conducted scientific experiments to see how many licks it took. A few groups actually invented "licking machines" to emulate a human tongue licking the tootsie pop. Hope this clears up all the confusion.

    * A group of engineering students from Purdue University recorded that their licking machine, modeled after a human tongue, took an average of 364 licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop. They tried the same licking test on 20 volunteers and found that the average licks to the center were 252 licks.

    * A chemical engineering doctorate student from the University of Michigan recorded that his licking machine required an average of 411 licks per Tootsie Pop.

    * A group of students at Swathmore School used human lickers in a scientific experiment and determined it took an average of 144 licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop.
