The old question "How many licks does it take to get to the center of a lollipop?", is a question that is very difficult to answer. Some have tried to count themselves but have failed. This could be for many reasons such as the following:

  • Lost count of licks
  • Ran out of time
  • Amount of saliva in the mouth
  • The lollipop expired
  • The temptation was to great and you bit down and took a bite
  • Tongue size


Thus there is no way to measure the actual amount of licks it takes to get to the center of a lollipop.

It only takes the wise old owl three licks, but then he bites down on it. So, as he is wont to repeat, we may never know...

actually it depends on controlled varibles like, How long are you licking it, How old is it, Are you sucking it, Are you eating it in a hot or cold tempature, How is it packaged? Ps: My results might not be 100% accurate!

Really, it depends on how strong your jaw bone is as to how strong your tongue is, which Defines how many licks it DOES take to get to the center of a tootsie pop...

There are eight muscles in a tongue.

The eight muscles of the human tongue are classified as either intrinsic or extrinsic. The four intrinsic muscles act to change the shape of the tongue, and are not attached to any bone. The four extrinsic muscles act to change the position the tongue, and are anchored to bone.

Another contributor is the length of the tongue.

The average length of the human tongue from the oropharynx to the tip is 10 cm (4 in.)

So i dont bore you with any longer explainations, I'll just say that the average amount of licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop is 1,629 licks.

Depends on how big of a bite. I'd guess around 3.
