How many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop?

The age old question.

god damn it when someone asks a question like that you're supposed to give a false but plausible answer and be totally deadpan about it for everyone else's amusement! :(

 

[Lucas₇₅₅]

I was just surprised that somebody didn't know what a tootsie roll was.

Depends how much spit you have and if you're licking in little bits or in a sexual-looking way or something I guess.

Though I've never had a tootsie pop and don't know exactly what it is but I'm assuming it's a sort of lollipop or whatever I DO NOT KNOW YOUR AMERICAN BILE CANDY ):

 

[Shiny Grimer]

I love tootsie pops.

I just put it in my mouth and lick it there. It depends on the type of spit you have and how you lick it but one source said 200 something.

Me neither. I'm very intrigued, though.

A-one! A-two! A-three! *bites*

English peoples: A Tootsie Roll is a chocolate-flavored taffy like candy, and a Tootsie Pop is a lollipop that has a Tootsie Roll in the center. The question is based off of an old ad that still circulates. For more info: Tootsie Roll, Tootsie Pop

Isn't bile candy hardened liver juice?

 

[Storm Earth and Fire]

It's OVER 9000!

I had to...

Isn't bile candy hardened liver juice?

considering you guys have stuff like 'sausage in chocolate chip pancake on a stick', 'bile candy' sounds like a good description of your food, yes.

but yeah tootsie pops don't sound too revolting, would try one.

I've never really licked a Tootsie Roll, since I always bite them (hence the crooked front teeth as a kid) but my math geek senses tell me that if it's the same as the Tootsie roll I've had, it's 250 estimate, since the one we have over here measured 2.5 cm(don't ask) and it takes approximately 10 licks to get a millimeter off.

 

[Renteura]

Me neither. I'm very intrigued, though.

You're unlucky not to have them in England. ;_;

 

[Mad MOAI]

One time, my friend did this. I think it was around eight thousand something and fifteen.
