Negative. You owe them your past paychecks
Unless you’re a cat. Cats have rough tongues covered in tiny, backward-facing barbs called papillae, which help them groom and lap up liquids efficiently but might not dissolve the candy as quickly as a human tongue.
Since cat licks are smaller and less saliva-heavy than human licks, a cat could easily take over 1,000 licks to reach the center of a Tootsie Pop.
Actually, the number of licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop can vary from 144 to 2,500, depending on the method used.
Here are a few documented methods:
- Licking machine at Purdue University: Averaged 364 licks
- 20 students at Purdue University: Averaged 252 licks
- Licking machine at the University of Michigan: Averaged 411 licks
- High school students at Swarthmore College: Averaged 144 licks
- Doctoral student Jinzi Huang: Estimated 2,500 licks
Explanation
The number of licks required to reach the center of a Tootsie Pop varies widely because the experiment has been conducted by a variety of people using different methods. For example, a study published in the Journal of Fluid Mechanics estimated that it takes about 1,000 licks per centimeter of CED to reach the center of almost any lollipop.
