Tootsie Pop

So you know that commercial for tootsie pops that says, "How many licks does it take to get to the center? The world may never know!" ? Well yesterday I got bored and decided to find out. It took 189 licks and lots of patience to get to the center. It was frustrating because I couldn't suck on it, because that isn't licking, and I couldn't do anything else while I was licking it because I needed to count. 189.
