I actually got bored one day, in a hospital waiting room, they had a candy dish, so I grabbed one of the darn things and began counting.
Now I can say to any person who asks "How many licks dose it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop" It took me 1,062 licks to get to the center of a tootsie pop, how many people can say that! (But I still had to wait 40 more minutes to see the blinking doctor )
It depends on a variety of factors such as the size of your mouth, the amount of saliva, etc. Basically, the world may never know.
