A group of engineering students from Purdue University recorded that their licking machine, modeled after a human tongue, took an average of 364 licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop. They tried the same licking test on 20 volunteers and found that the average licks to the center were 252 licks.
Although the commercials from the 1960s stated that it only takes three licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop, research conducted by several schools show that it is as much as 411 licks. These scientific studies made use of both licking machines based on the human tongue and actual human experiments.
