How many licks does it take?

She slowly slid her tongue up and down with a look of near lust in her eyes as she stared at him. Then she closed her eyes and sucked the dark red top into her mouth and caved her cheeks in.

She let out a low moan as she savored the intense flavor. Suddenly she popped it out of her mouth and flicked her tongue all along the rim, lapping up the sweet nectar as it ran down.

"God. This is so incredibly good," she panted.

"I've never seen someone enjoy a lollipop so much in my life," he laughed.

After decades of research, scientists at Drew Curtis Research Hospital have answered one of the greatest questions of our time: how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?

The research team has been working with a control group for the length of the study. The result was an equation linking the number of licks to mouth volume, saliva pH, and tongue roughness factor -- based upon taste buds per square millimeter. Based on average values, most people will take 59.336 licks to get to the center.

In other news, still no cure for cancer.
