The age old question has finally been answered. We now know how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop thanks to Jinzi Huang and his cohorts at New York University's Courant Institute.According to a new study published in the Journal of Fluid Mechanics, it takes about 1,000 licks per centimeter of candy to reach the middle of a Tootsie Pop. With the diameter of a Tootsie Pop measuring approximately 1.063 inches, that means that it has to be licked about 2,500 times for someone to make it to the middle.
