"Often when you want a sandwich, you don't have one. Often when you have a sandwich, you don't want one."
A group of anonymous ponies kidnap and interrogate Twilight Sparkle. Their goal: to find out the Equestrian government's greatest secret: How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?
The world will still probably never know.

2009469 *Breaks neck*
Nice try.
Well, this was great.
The numbers, Twilight! What do they mean?!
Needs a crossover tag.
2009472
850. Someone already tested this.
2009547 Fixed.
2009548 *Breaks neck*
Dammit, how many necks do I have to break today.
So... much... WIN!
I leave you with this-
3.
Reading this later.
2009548
Several dozen people have tested this. 144 was the average in a high school test while two universities found between 400 and 350 or so (actual numbers forgotten by me).
The number depends on the width of space covered, the amount of saliva produced and the saliva's constituent composition, the space covered by the tongue, how hard the tongue is applied, the abrasiveness of the tongue ... a dozen other factors (the particular composition of the Tootsie Roll Pop is a major factor of course. I'll stop).
Anyway, the number is clearly 3.
And having Twilight pray to Faust instead of Celestia? Considering Faust created the series, I like that touch.
silly enough to deserve a thumb up
I don't think Twilight handled this as well as she could have. For example:
"What's the number?"
"47,897,683."
That would teach those... whoever they are to not ask
sillyimportant questions so rudely.2009834
Unless she said "3.14159..." and continued down π until they gave up, I bet she knows π anyway.
I actually did this once. I still remember the licks.
326 licks it took to get to the center.
Up until the last paragraph I thought the interrogators were just crazy conspiracy theorists. The way you wrote this was perfect.
And then I read the last paragraph and that was it. Amazing story.
2010417
That's the exact number my brother and sister swear by.
2009834
How dare you even THINK of trivializing such a damnably dire subject!!!! By Celestia, you should be sent to the moon POST-HASTE!!!!!
Anywho, this crap's awesome. Inspectah Dash, prepare to receive a follow.
2010417 Oh god. My friend did a test for a science experiment, and her victims, er, test subjects reported that it took around two thousand licks to get the first bit of the center, and three thousand more to get it completely uncovered. 0.o
That number increased tenfold (literally) when doing a tip-of-the-tongue lick.
And the award for Most Misleading Title goes to...
2011449 *takes off sunglasses* My God...
NOOO!!! Now I'll never know!
However I do know how LONG it takes to get to the center. It takes an average of 19 minutes to get to the middle without biting.
2039417 You like what you seee?
2039471 Yeah. But it's the kind of thing that's so stupid I question my intelligence.
2039522 Nah, you're fine. I think you should be questioning my intelligence. I'm the deranged individual who made it.
2039536 True.
i believe thats why RED and BLU fight for but they now know how many GREY wants it to be destroyed and everything who knows.
This deserves more likes.
Gosh, how long has it been since these commercials aired? I never did any experiments, for if I did, I would have been bored and just sucked on my lolly (
) or get bored and throw it away.
I am reading this now, but take my advanced like and favorite thing in advance.
345. I actually did it.
MatPat covered this on his food channel, funnily enough. All these years later, we have the answer!
