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

Can anyone give a straight confirmation? I've been dying to know.

Last test (for me) was 356.

Did you actually try, though?

Yes. I was licking it all day. I was doing extra work for The Fifth Wave and had a tootsie pop to pass the time. I remember doing it when they were shooting the scenes with the 4 buses.

Nice! I wasn't being serious in the OP, but I actually did wonder about that somewhat. That's pretty interesting, actually, as I thought it would take a much higher amount of licks.

Many test have been done but most are inaccurate because they use robots instead of humans and sand paper instead of a real tongue. The outcome is different from person to person though.

You filmed for the 5th wave?
