You know the famous Tootsie Pop commercial that asks, "How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?" That question has caused hundreds, if not thousands of people to try to find the answer. One of those people was our friend, MrBeast. Way back when he tried to find the answer and did a pretty good job but he forgot the BIGGEST help in any test. Science! Can we hack this challenge? Let's find out!

Next theory: HOW MANY JAWBREAKERS TO ACTUALLY BREAK SOMEONE'S JAW
"Get on that, Researcher 3!"
This is now the question will keep me awake at night until it is answered
Well if you throw it fast enough, anything can break your jaw.

How to minimize licks:
Don’t have your tongue leave the tootsi pop. Then it’ll all be one lick.
woah that's big brain
hehe STONKS
Pure GENIUS!!
put the stick into the bit hole of a drill then just let it spin on yer tongue.

Literally last year my teacher used this video for a science project, and she shared it with the whole class. We also ended up seeing how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop. Thank you for sparing me of my boredom!

It’s matpat. We don’t question ANYTHING he makes a theory about. He figured out how long luigi’s schlong is as an adult. Him figuring out how many licks it takes to get to the tootsie pop centre as a kid? Tame. 😂😂😂
I'm here for the nostalgia. Also the licking machine sounds like something you would find on an adult website.
Researcher # 2 was the real mvp of this.
What's researchers #2 @ thooo
69 nice
I'm JUST now like seriously noticing that Dan/Researcher #3 DID do it in well under 270 links but Matpat still says he didn't and roasts him for his failure anyway. I think every time I've seen this before, I was thinking the target was 170 for some reason.
why doesnt he just say the answer straight on instead of briefing everything he did to find it out (joke)
the real question though is How did Amy get 98 LICKS JUST HOW
Poor Dan. MatPat, you have failed as a theorist for Dan bullying, you definitely deserve that bludgeoning to your head by your wife's coffee mug..😂

@@johnathanreeves4654 He ignored probably the biggest and most important variable: the direction that you lick the tootsie roll from. There's a pretty big margin of error in manufacturing them, and they aren't all perfectly centered.
I actually tried it myself when I was a kid. it took me 367 licks, but my idea of "getting to" the center was being able to crack the candy shell.
i took about 600 😭

Fun fact my uncle actually figured this out! He licked until he got to the core and mailed his answer to the Tootsie Pop people. They gave him a certificate :)
Just curious how she was able to do it in only 98 licks. Did I miss something as she beat MatPat and he didn't say much about her doing so, but instead celebrated himself doing it in 117.
Lol 🤣
The entire video was basically one giant meme. Lol. It was all in good humor.
Tootsie pops come in a couple different sizes, it possible she got a slightly smaller one (they come in mini, small, med + large). Large + medium aren't that much different so that's what I was thinking it was :)
Just looked it up there's three sizes but still the two are generally the same size and the mini are tiny
None of these are right, Amy just has oddly above average saliva (this is a confirmed fact) so it's just that, and then it dissolves faster
Mat seems like the kid that sits down and does his work and isn't any trouble but if you become friends he's very talkative.
I feel like this is me but more toxic

Question: Wouldn't liking the pop inside a closed mouth work just as well, if not better, as altering the room temperature or working out? Wouldn't it have a sauna-like effect on the pop and make melt faster?

Even initially at 6:08 we see that she re-salivate her mouth after every lick that lowered the ammount of licks in total, rather than stroking it...

I love your theories! Keep it up!
I love it when how he throws in all these variables.
As a chemistry nerd, I have to point out that lowering the pH decreased the solubility of the acids present in the candy (such as citric acid).
Seems sciency enough to be true
@@philsharpe4315 I like how we just believe game theory we don't think " Hey this might be wrong" We just trust him know cuz it sounds sciency
So a more basic solution would be better? Huh.

One time, me and my great-grandfather tried finding out how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop waaaaaay before Food Theory was a thing.
dude everyone has 💀
I actually did the tootsie pop thing when I was like 8.
I came up with 175, though, I counted "get to the center" as when I could first feel the tootsie roll center, which vastly differs depending on the pop.
How many licks does it take: 0
Optimized method of licking: Bite it
Grace Slagle I can’t I have braces
@Grace Slagle are you asking if braces are a disease or are you joking lol
@Grace Slagle HMMMMMM
M J HMMMMMM 🤔🤔🤔🤔🧐🧐🧐🧐
Put it in water and let it sit. You never licked it, but made it to the center. Or use a hammer for something like that. That second one counts more since that's closer to using your body to do it, which is closest to the original intent,and thus spirit of, the question.

Ok I'm 49 years old and seeing you do those vignettes from when I was a kid was fantastic.
When I was in elementary school ( ages 5-11), I actually did a science fair project on this EXACT concept.
How many licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop.
With some 'help from adult sources', we used 3 examples, One was just a wetted sponge going back and forth over a Pop, using weights and pulleys to keep it in motion with little kinetic loss, one was an adult start licking it, and one was a kid ( myself) lick one until we got to the center.
I still have my results; Thank to Mom for never throwing stuff out and a wealth of attic memories.
Sponge : 108 total passes til center
Adult Tongue: 161 Total passes til center
Kid Tongue :172 Total passes til center.
This was in 1979 mind you so Your results may vary.
Guess they were just slightly tougher back in my day.
Great video! I just wanted to point out (over a year later, but you know...) at 7:05 in polar molecules is is the oxygen that is more negative and the hydrogen is more positive.
I was about to do the same. I can’t believe no one pointed out in a year! 🤣
Why isn't anybody talking about the fact that Researcher #2 did it in LESS THAN 100 LICKS

True
My friend has done it in 87 (lesbian)

What?? I did that as a kid and never thought to send it in!
For me it was around 343 or so. Although as a kid I never thought to lick and wait a few seconds.
BRO WHAT! I wish I knew that! I want a certificate for that! I was so proud of that accomplishment as a kid!

8:27 the attention to detail they had, they even made the stick dissolve quicker than the tootsie pop

Amy: Licks Tootsie POP more aggressively then the others
Women are naturally like that though but no one wants to admit
@@Sataka23clips w...what does that even mean?
@@ijk9492 You'll know when you grow older.
@@fieryelf I know what it means I was just hoping maybe there was another non-sexual or derogatory explanation
@@ijk9492 Well for the first comment by Blue Tube, he was just making a joke.
As for the claims made by both comments, well Amy herself was actually the least aggressive when it came to licking the Tootsie Pop in the first test when compared to the other test subjects, both of which where male. Specifically the Third test subject was consistently proven to be the least efficient licker out of all the others in both tests, even though he was the most aggressive in the first test. So I would have to surmise that the claim is simply wrong.
As for how this mistake could have been made I surmise that the commenter mistook Amy for Mat's wife (the brain sometimes get confused with information) who in the second test was actually trying to get to the Tootsie Pop 's centre and thus had a more aggressive technique though it should be noted that the result she got was 132 licks, several licks more than the top five contenders and far more licks than Amy who got 98 licks in the second test out of a total nine participants.
As for an explanation that does not require any sexual reference I would have to say it would either have to be Amy's tongue texture, body temperature or a difference in the composition of her saliva compared to the other participants. Although Mat did indeed test for lower pH such as acids he did neglect to check other factors such as higher pH levels which gets into basic solutions which do actually have effects when it comes to deluding elements. What's more neglecting that the purpose of saliva in the digestion process is to dilute glucose which is the more efficient form of fructose the very element he was testing.
