In case you were wondering...

how many licks it takes to get to the tootsie-center of a tootsie pop...

I came up with 1400 licks (give or take a few).

I know that the results of this test will vary for every person who does this, due to the pressure of the sucker on the tongue as well as how much saliva there constantly is. Having said that, has anyone else done this? If so, what were your results? (:

I have tried! Haha, and then I ended up having deep thoughts and completely forgot that I was counting. I admire yours though, for the simple fact you stuck with it. :D

Hahahahhaaaa... I LOVE THAT YOU DID THIS!!! [I'm jealous, I want to try.]
I had a friend in Elementary try this, and he got to about 1,600.

Taylor: I used a counter. :D

Katrina: You should do it! Last time I did this though, it took 1,740--it really changes almost every time. lol. :D
