Food Theory tackles the perennial question: how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?
( Full original commercial, the short version remade in CGI, the classic "The World Looks Mighty Good to Me" Tootsie Roll commercial just 'cause)
(PNQ: Why is Mr. Fox a Peter Lorre impersonation, and what does Peter Lorre have to do with sunglasses?)
To me the big problem is that you need to define "lick" and "get to the center", particularly the latter. A lot of people treat the problem as "remove ALL the hard candy around the Tootsie Roll center" when that's not needed to "get to the center", you really only need to lick one spot until you touch Tootsie Roll candy.
(FYI, I hate Tootsie Pops. Chocolate/caramel/etc. candy and fruit candy should never ever be combined. It's madness.)
