I was probably 9 or 10 years old and had seen this commercial many times. Everyone knew the Mr. Owl commercial. One very hot summer day, when it was too hot to move,  I decided to test it. I came up with about 750 licks. Even then I realized there would be a different count depending on if the licks were all in one location to expose the tiniest part of the center, or did you have to lick around the entire pop to expose the center for easy eating.



From Bing copilot:

Over the years, this question has sparked curiosity and inspired countless experiments. Let’s explore some of the findings:

Mr. Owl’s Wisdom:
In the iconic Tootsie Pop commercial, Mr. Owl attempted to answer this question. His response? “The world may never know.” 🌎
But we’re not satisfied with that, are we?
Scientific Endeavors:
Scientists at New York University took a mathematical approach. They concluded that it takes approximately 1,000 licks to dissolve the outer candy shell and reveal the chewy Tootsie Roll inside.
Their study focused on how materials dissolve within a fluid flow (like saliva dissolving hard candy) 1.
They didn’t literally count licks (because resisting the urge to bite into a Tootsie Pop is tough!), but their model provided an estimate.
Other Lick Counts:
A Purdue University experiment averaged 364 licks to reach the center 2.
Students at Bellarmine University found that an orange Tootsie Pop takes an average of 148 licks, while a grape pop averages 198 licks 1.
Even junior high students at Swarthmore School reported an average of 144 licks 3.
Tootsie Roll Industries’ Mystery:
Tootsie Roll Industries might have been right all along when they declared that the true answer remains elusive.
So, the next time you encounter a Tootsie Pop, feel free to embark on your own licking adventure. Just remember: the world may never know! 🌟

That is utter fucking brilliance. Ya know I think I paid about 70 or 80 bucks for my HF benchtop drill press, you can't even buy a fucking bowl for my wife's Kitchenaid for that much.

Given that that's a nuclear power plant control room, the caption is...disquieting.

I'm torn on this one.  Yay for getting one over on the surveillance state.

But, Juggalos?

I feel sort of dirty.

MD will assign a value out of the NADA guide if they don't think the sale price is right. If it's between family there are special forms to fill out as a gift.

Many forms of clown makeup would probably work.

I guess if we're gonna live in clown world, might as well look the part?
