How many licks?

<p>Tell us when you reach 3481 licks.</p>

<p>I’m at 1300, and I felt the chocolate but I’m doing it until I get rid of all the sugar and all I have is tootsie roll left.</p>

<p>1650, the sugar still remains, I predict 2500 at this rate, maybe a little less, but good news, it’s starting to taste like chocolate. :D</p>

<p>wow, about 45 minutes have passed.</p>

<ol>
<li>It’s so tempting to bite the tootsie roll center… but there’s still some red sugary goodness yet to be salivated and licked upon.</li>
</ol>

<p>lol… i haven’t had a lolipop in ages</p>

<p>My original guess was off significantly.</p>

<p>1950, and yes it was.</p>

<p>so, is your tongue burning, cuz, you know, it’s a muscle?</p>

<p>I cool it off by rubbing it against my gums after about 50 successive licks. I’m on 2010 right now. Right now, what’s left is a thin light red coating and a square marshmallowy looking tootsie roll center.</p>

<p>Guessing 2539.5 licks.</p>

<p>Red, so cherry flavored?</p>

<p>Yep. I had to pick the best flavor to do this journey. 2150.</p>

<p>Artificial Cherry flavor is always the best flavor of candy.</p>

<p>From your observations, Matt, it seems like the point at which you’ve gotten to the Tootsie Roll center is pretty subjective.</p>

<p>Indeed it is, those Luden’s Cherry Cough Drops are addicting. Not to mention they don’t even help. After a successive licking, I’m at 2240 and with a small surrounding of red left, I’m VERY close.
^My definition of tootsie roll center is when all of the sugar is gone. I’ve already touched the stick about 80 licks ago, but I’m at 2300 and sugar still remains, so I press on.</p>

<p>Cherry Cough Drops - my first drug abuse.</p>

<p>Haha Jerry, I finished a whole bag of Luden’s Cherry Drops in about 10 minutes.
2325 licks.</p>

<p>Have you almost reached the center?</p>

<p>Yeah, I’m ironically almost there at a perfect SAT 2400 Licks. I’m actually at 2420 now.</p>

<p>Uhh pretty sure you lick until the center is unveiled, NOT until all the candy is gone.</p>

<p>And you’re wasting your time. According to Mr. Owl on the commercial, it takes THREE licks.</p>
