How many lick's

[Tony-NJ]

does it take you to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop? I've been licking for about 5 minutes now, and I'm no where close!!

 

[pumba]

and it used to take 35 minutes to leave it in my mouth and just savor it......well now I am down to 16 minutes......I will count some time.....

 

[browneyes]

Tony, Tony, Tony.

It takes, a one, a two, a CRUNCH.

 

[SPAGo 98]

i had one yesterday. after 10 mins i couldnt stand it anymore and crunched down on the sucker.

 

[grinningghost]

Yep, I'm a cruncher too.

 

[Serena]

LOL, it's about 30 minutes worth of licks.

 

[sixcats]

Does size matter?


I have a bag of the mini ones.

Maybe you are not doing it right

 

[glo]

Hey Tony...you should ask Pumba this...I remember a while back she actually did this.


Let us know what you get for a total....and no biting

 

[Tony-NJ]

I had to bite after about 10 minutes! I was almost there though!

Does size matter?

And I don't break the rules! ( often)

 

[Serena]

LOL, 30 minutes for the mini's.

 

[catsrule]

This very question was asked on the AYSA thread and here is a copy of my answer..

Assume the average tootsie pop has a total diameter of 2 cm (hey I have to make some assumptions here because every tootsie pop is not exactly the same size). This makes the radius of the total pop 1 cm. The chewy center of the tootsie pop has a diameter of approximately .5 cm which gives us a center radius of .25.

note: In the following formulas (pi) is approx. 3.14159

The volume of the total pop is 4/3(pi)(r^3)=4/3(pi)(1^3) = 4/3(pi)
The volume of the center of the pop is 4/3(pi)r^3=4/3(pi)(.25^3)=4/3(pi)(.015625).

The volume that needs to be removed from the total pop to get to the center is the difference between the volumes or: 4/3(pi) - 4/3(pi)(.015625) = (4/3(pi))(1-.015625)=(4/3)(pi)(.984375)=.73828125(pi)=2.31938.

If we assume the average person can remove .005 of the volume of the tootsie pop with the average lick. 2.31938/.005 = 463.876 licks.

I don't break the rules either (not very often ).

It took me 465 licks once..

yep...hello.....my name is Stephanie...and I'm a biter!

 

[Cindy B]

Now is it a small quick lick or a long savoring suck? 463 Licks seems very very long....

Some people savor, some people bite... Personally I savor...
