Okay, this isn't very scientific, but i think it would be really cool if the mythbusters could test the question that everyone asks all the time: How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop. And I'm sure Jamie and Adam could find some really tricked out way to test it. Just an idea. What do ya think about it? Should they test it?

Roughly 300. This is a commercial jingle, not a myth.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHHHHHHHHH!!!! SOMEONE BLAST THAT TOOTSIE POP FACTORY TO PIECES...

It's not very original either. There are 177 matches when you use the find here. There is also at least 10 pages of results on Google. Granted, those results would be inaccurate, being as they stopped when they got to the chocolate. The centre of the Tootsie Pop would be the stick.

It hasn't been original since the '70s.

this cant be classiefied as "plausable,busted,true etc." it is stated wrong and it isnt very scientific either and the number of licks would be different every time
