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. 😂😂😂
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!
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.
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.
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 :)
Not bad at math, it was just continuing the joke of the whole video where Matt wasn't interested in anything Researcher 3 had to say, so he would have automatically failed even if he'd had the lowest number. You can tell they are really good friends just from that one joke.
It may have been continuing the joke, but they were all WAY under 200, which seems unlikely ... or not, since he said 117 when he finished. Also, again, go Amy!
One of the things I love about MatPat’s channels is that he takes the questions that a lot of people just don’t care about and make them seem so important
Watching since the beginning of Game Theory and im so happy to see the circle getting filled but also sad because I've been theorizing about what this new theory channel could be and then it's food theory. Not that it's bad just definitely against expectation, I'm loving it so far :D
"How many researchers managed to reach the center of their Tootsie pop in under 270 licks?" The real question is: Why is Amy so much better at this than everyone else?
Can we just all collectively agree that the Matt Pat owls response to the question that was asked is going to be met Pats Response to every single question we ask him
@Animeteor You mean like to buy? It's just a hobby, I don't sell it. Even if I did, where I live it is illegal to sell food of any kind over the internet from your house (I would have to get a food handler's license AND have my kitchen inspected by the county as if it was a restaurant)
I understand. I just don't automatically figure everyone is in the US. I had no idea there were laws about selling food online, although if I'd given it any thought it would be obvious... XD Enjoy your candy making!
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 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.
Sugar is worse than the artificial replacements. Hate to break it to you, but that stuff isn't bad for you, you're just biased and saying it must be bad "because it's unnatural".
This was so fascinating! I've been here since 2016 and it's great to see another channel! By the way, I'd love to see a theory on nutrition and how some food brands and products may be healthier for you then you'd think, whereas others not so much. I'd also like to see a theory (or a set of theories like the Disney Death Count set) on the "King of Fast Food" - a hypothetical battle between every single major fast food chain in the contiguous USA that ranks fast food chains based on the foods' quality, nutrition, and taste.
I cant believe you showed the berries n cream commercial! "Berries n' cream, berries n' cream, I'm a little lad who likes berries n' cream!" Is still a valid reference in this household. 😂
MatPat is not alone. I also ran my own tests on this as a kid and arrived at a number in the low 300s. Also memorizing digits of pi was another enjoyable hobby of mine.
Came to see if anyone else said this! As long as it doesn't leave your tongue until you hit the tootsie center of a tootsie pop, it's only one! I can't count how many times I did that as a kid 🤣
After watching GTLive over the years and seeing all the times MatPat hurt himself on stream, I'm no longer surprised he hurt himself while licking a tootsie pop...

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

When you realize the stuff they replace the sugar with is worse than the actual sugar...

He should do a theory on why sugar is better than artificial sugars and compare other plant based sugars
