Question Smakk

So the first official question to Ask Smakk has been posted - "How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?" Yes, this is obviously a life changing issue in need of Smakk's valuable time. I will keep the author of this question confidential to protect her pointy ears and fluffy tailed identity.

There are actually many answers to this question as follows:

• According to Mr.. Owl from the 1970 TV commercial, " A good question. Let's find out. A One... A two-HOO...A three.. ***CRUNCH*** A Three!"
• According to Tootsie Roll Inc, "We've been asking the question since 1970. Many have tried to lick their way to the center of the Tootsie Pop, and many have failed -- for they couldn't help but bite. But for those proud few who do make it to the center, and manage to keep count of how many licks it takes, we hold a special place in our hearts."

• Scientifically speaking, you have to do is measure the amount of saliva you produce per lick, measure the volume of the Tootsie Pop, find the amount each lick your saliva takes away from the pop, and divide that much by the total volume of the Tootsie Pop.

Now as for the Smakk response, I believe we must also take into count which orifice on your body that you are using to reach the center for the Tootsie Pop. Different bodily fluids combined with the pressure within those different areas could obviously bring about different results. I recall an old issue of Hustler magazine and pretty sure that she was melting that sucker down quick licking it with those lower lips. Then again, maybe that was a blow pop? That's seems more appropriate.

So I hope this information proves helpful my hopping little friend and that you will think of it every time you see another Tootsie Pop.
