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

Answer

Scientifically: You have to do is measure the amount of saliva you produce per lick, measure the volume of the Tootsie Pop, find the amount each lick your saliva takes away from the pop, and divide that much by the total volume of the Tootsie Pop.

From Tootsie Roll Inc.: "We've been asking the question since 1970. Many have tried to lick their way to the center of the Tootsie Pop, and many have failed -- for they couldn't help but bite. But for those proud few who do make it to the center, and manage to keep count of how many licks it takes, we hold a special place in our hearts."

Answer

It has been scientifically proven by professional tootsie roll lovers, that it takes 127 licks to get the the middle of a tootsie pop, where the tootsie roll center is located. However, those who did not see the center after 127 licks, couldn't stand the pressure, and bit the tootsie pop, causing the center to be visible. I hope this answers your question.

As a child did you have a question that you never got the answer ??

Being the impatient type I never could understand how Kojac could keep one of those in his mouth without just biting the candy off of it and getting to the good stuff.

does the fortune in a fortune cookie last up until you get the next one, or does it logrithmetically decline// If it does-- does it work to just hold the good one instead of getting a new one each time???

If you have a gun and you ask, "can I ask you a question?" and they say "fire away" should you shoot them?

I don't think I will never ever eat one again.
ANACARDIUM OCCIDENTAL - Cashew
An easily grown evergreen relative of the mango, poison sumac and poison ivy. Very sensitive to cold, especially in warm winters followed by a freeze. Leaves are simple, leathery, light-green with a copper-red blush when young. The nut is not edible or safe when raw. Touching an uncooked nut can cause skin eruptions and the smoke given off by roasting is itself an irritant and poisonous. The cashew apple grows above the nut; it is edible and safe without treatment and makes good jelly or fermented liquor. See Cashew

Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, 'I think I'll squeeze these dangly things here and drink whatever comes out'?

Why is it that when someone tells you that there are over a billion stars in the universe, you believe them, but if they tell you there is wet paint somewhere, you have to touch it to make sure?

The world's smartest people were discussing the greatest invention ever.  Suggestions were the wheel, combustion engine, etc.  The old man serving them said, "It's the Thermos bottle."  All the geniuses laughed and said "all that does it keep hot things hot and cold things cold" to which the old man replied, "How do it know?"
No man on his deathbed ever said "I wish I'd made more money".
