Oldie, but goodie

You probably remember this commercial:

"Mr. Owl, how many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a Tootsie Pop?"

"Let's find out. One, two, three." CRUNCH!

"Three."

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

The world may never know.

This commercial had Kyle in stitches this morning. Apparently he'd never seen it, which makes sense since it's got to be at least 20 years old. (Wait, make that 37 years old. I just googled it. 37 years old???) And his laughter was contagious. We were both giggling by the time they'd shown it for a third time. It must ring a little too close to home.

FYI: the number of licks ranges from 100-5800, with the average being between 600 and 800.

Also, you've heard the rumor that if you find a *star* on your Tootsie Pop wrapper and turn it, you'll receive a prize, free lollipop, etc. Well, it's NOT TRUE! What a bummer...
