I remember that old commerical with the owl. It was 3. The owl would start to take a lick then count and on the 3rd one he'd bite into the pop. Then say,,,, 3. Geesh I had forgotten all about that old one.

If your asking about the picture by your name you just upload it in your profile.

It would be a lot less today than it would have been then since they now make Tootise Roll Pops about 1/2 the size. :) While the original commercial is 60 seconds long, an edited 30-second version and 15 second version of this commercial are the ones that have aired innumerable times over the years. The dialogue to the 60-second version is as follows: Boy (voiced by Buddy Foster): Mr. Cow... Mr. Cow (Frank Nelson): Yeeeeesss? Boy: How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop? Mr. Cow: I don't know, I always end up biting. Ask Mr. Fox, for he's much clever than I. Boy: Mr. Fox, how many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop? Mr. Fox (Paul Frees): Why don't you ask Mr. Turtle, for he's been around a lot longer than I? Me, heheh, I bite. Boy: Mr. Turtle, how many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop? Mr. Turtle (Ralph James): I've never even made it without biting. Ask Mr. Owl, for he is the wisest of us all. Boy: Mr. Owl, how many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop? Mr. Owl (Paul Winchell): A good question. Let's find out. A One... A.two-HOO...A three.. (crunch sound effect) Mr. Owl: A Three! Boy: If there's anything I can't stand, it's a smart owl. Narrator (Herschel Bernardi): How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop? (crunch sound effect) Narrator: The world may never know.

The Quest for the Answer

How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?

Since Mr. Owl first dared to unravel one of the confectionary world's most puzzling secrets in the classic 1970 TV commercial, dedicated Tootsie Pop fans everywhere have tried to provide a definitive answer.

Many have attempted, and failed, to lick their way to the center of the Tootsie Pop. The temptation to bite and reach the embedded Tootsie Roll prize has proven too great... just like it was for Mr. Owl.

For the truly disciplined who have made it successfully to the center, Tootsie places them in its highest regard. And the pages linked below are dedicated to their valiant struggle.

Have You Made It to the Center?

Maria, Great answer. I would give it best answer right now but figure I better wait couple days to see if anyone can top it. Nice to meet you.

Depends on the flavor. And which one you like the best.
