Pondering the Mysteries of Halloween...

Sat Oct 29, 2005 11:46 pm

As the little trick or treaters traipse in their Barbie outfits and Ninja garbs, their Scream masks and Renaissance....whatever they are, they stumble upon a candie.

This candie, round in form with a white stick protruding, tastes sweet from first taste to the end, and leaves the eater licking away for minutes. But lo and behold! There is a surprise at the center!

I am talking about a Tootsie Pop. And now for the age old question.... *Drumroll*

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?

I got 267, from savour-licks. How about you?

The other day it took me about 294. I wonder if it has to do with the size of your tongue...or the size of the lollipop...or a bunch of other variables. o.O

The potency of your saliva? O.o

I don't even understand how saliva can be potent...o.O

Well, wouldn't the pH or something change between people? Or am I crazy?

Sun Oct 30, 2005 5:41 am

I think both.

What IS a tootsie pop?.. o.O

Sounds weird

Here's still frames from a tootsie roll pop commercial ... http://www.tootsie.com/howmany-sb.html

Basically, it's a candy (hard candy) lollypop and there's a chocolate chewy center. Sounds kind of gross, but they're really good!

I can't buy them here.

Therefore, I can't answer the question.

Yesterday it took me 376.

When I was in sixth grade, it took an average of 1127. :-/ Guess I'm not a good licker like the rest of you. :(

It also depends which one you get. I discovered a mini-tootsie pop today, and that one's small.....

My lowest now is 243.
