From Tootsie Roll Inc.: “We’ve been asking the question since 1970. Many have tried to lick their way to the center of the Tootsie Pop, and many have failed — for they couldn’t help but bite. But for those proud few who do make it to the center, and manage to keep count of how many licks it takes, we hold a special place in our hearts.”
Around 450 licks.
Zero licks if you’re Chuck Norris, he explained to me that if you roundhouse kick the tootsie properly it will lick itself.
