As far as scientific studies goes the Purdue University licking machine averaged 364 licks. A group of Purdue University students averaged 252 licks. The licking machine designed at the University of Michigan needed 411 licks. Swarthmore Junior High students needed only 144 licks.

However the definitive reference source for how many licks it takes to get to center of a Tootsie Pop is Mr. Owl.
