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.
Based on this model, the group was able to confidently estimate how many licks it would take to reach a Tootsie Popâs chewy center. While this makes the study sound simple, Ristroph admits the Tootsie Pop study had its challenges. Even mathâs greatest minds had trouble resisting the urge to bite into the lollipop.
