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

Never made it that far...............................

Honest to Pete I actually did count it once.  Unfortunately I never wrote the total number down so I'll probably have to try it again. 

Am I the only person on the entire planet who has ever done this before?  I was not bored with nothing better to do, I just wanted to take on a new, different and exciting project.

Just continue sucking on it and it should be melted within 5 min.

I never tried counting.  I'm not a big fan of tootsie rolls so didn't eat them very often.  I just sucked on it till I got there and threw it away.

I've herd it said: "the World may never know"  - can someone do this and tell us?

I'm with the owl!  I take a few until it is soft enough to bite to the center.
