I heard it takes about 250 to reacch the center of a tootsie pop...*wishes that he had one to test it on*
NO WAY!!! THAT IS FALSE!!!!! It takes about 2,000+ licks!!! My friend actually recorded it.. HahahA
Sure 250...Not possible..Well maybe for a miniture one but big ones..Theres no way :wha:
It has been officially recorded at about 250.
You looked it up right..?
I read it somewhere a couple years ago. It had cites to the research and everything (haha, research).
I just heard it in a misc. trivia book. My english teacher's substitute(who happened to be the school principal) decided to read trivia.
I did it a month back. It was 273 for me. :/
Its going to be different for every person. I think the person who did it used the lollypop that automatically turns and counts the turns. And every turn was considered a lick.
Gah, kinda points less. Hook up a piece of wet cloth to a motor, have a mechanism that counts every spin, feed the cloth a constnt supply of water, and let it run. There, that solves the problem.
Maybe you should try something like "How long does it take to finish a jawbreaker?"
Dude, I once had a jawbreaker as big as my head ... yeah thats right, ONCE had it. Took me 8 months to finish it.
You know how unsanitary those stuff are? Jeez...
I never got sick once, and it was kept in a plastic wraped container.
So no, I don't know how "unsanitary" they are.
What I find disgusting... is when people SHARE jawbreakers...
Anyone ever have one of those 2 lb. candy canes?
Those can be a good source of sugar, in addition to a beating stick.

That's what I mean by unsanitary. I've seen people store them in their pockets, with a whole bunch of other stuff. No plastic or bags or stuff like that. Some actually did get sick, thoguh it was due to an upset stomach though.
Well then say that. Don't just say that jawbreakers are unsanitary. Because not all people are dumb enough NOT to store them in proper containers, some people are dumb enought NOT to share them with others.
OF COURSE they will be unsanitary if you treat them like a pen or pencil.

All this stuff reminds me of someone I know...
He eats candy off the ground. Once, at school, he was going to pick up a tater-tot off the ground until I stepped on it. HE didn't like that from what I could tell...
he picked up a gummy worm off the ground, in a place where kids run around(after running on the grass, which can have crap), and where cars and trucks drive sometimes, then ate it. He said it tasted like crap. I'm glad.
Then we shall burn your city to the ground for spawning such a dispecable creature.
...
*voice gradually becomes booming, echoing...*
Then I shall burn your pitiful planet in tortorous flames of searing plasma to rid the universe of such despisable creatures as humans! We will not stand to your destruction of Terra any longer! I shall bring long, painful deaths to all who attempt to stop me, and misery to all who have helped to bring the horridness that swims in humans to Terra!!!
B.O.T.
Anywaaay... I hate him. He's one of the less-un-not-good humans in more respects than his stupid ass eating...
How many licks does it take to reach the center of...the EARTH!
250 x 10^7823907123850917513489564139571349534163478912.
An even better question would be how would it taste?
I say "burning".
