Here is the tootsie pop formula...
(X^2+(L×H)*tb))*F))) / surface area of tootsie pop = RL
X =surface area of tongue
L= length of taste bud
H= height of taste bud
Tb = total number of taste buds
F= frequency of licks per minute
Rl= requured number of licks
There is a variable here... and that is the technique utilized.
Is there a sucking action after each lick? If so.. multiply RL by X.
Also... is the tootsie pop twirled per lick? If so... multiply RL by number of twirls.
Humidity, elevation, angle of approach, and psi per lick are not accounted for
