How Many Licks Does It Take To Get To The Center Of A Tootsie Pop?

520.

Train Boy got a Tootsie Pop at Reel Video (Where I also picked up Sherlock Holmes. Awesome movie). He decided he wanted to know what the WHOLE WORLD didn’t know.
How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Toosie Pop?
I tried it when I was a kid and my tongue hurt. Plus, I didn’t have the patience.
Train Boy started and kept licking and counting until he broke through to the gooey center in the middle.
520 licks.
Now ya know.
