How Many Licks To The Center Of A Tootsie Pop; The Question Is Finally Answered?

I can remember as kid seeing the commercial for 'Tootsie Pop' and trying to figure out how many licks it took to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop. That was the big ad campaign push from the lollipop maker.  I think I even tried it and always ended up biting the sucker.

There's guy on twitter who took the task and came up with an answer. He kept licking until he came up with 850. And now.....he can get a life. LOL
