From Gerry Pugliese for Connie’s SUGAR SHOCK! Blog.
Lick your way to a sugar rush!
Don’t worry: I’m not urging you to do that. Rather, Tootsie Roll Tootsie Pops is giving you the chance to win $50,000 by answering Mr. Owl’s 38-year old question, “How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?"
Of course, any kid knows the answer, “A One…A.two-HOO…A three…” But I guess that’s the problem. I’d rather youngsters figure out how many bites it takes to get to the center of an apple.
Anyway, according to Slashfood, the prize for guessing the licks is 27 POUNDS of assorted Tootsie Roll goodies. Makes my teeth rot and puts me inso Sugar Shock! just thinking about it!
I’m not recommending you take action on this offer, but to get awestruck by this contest, check out the official entry form at AskMrOwl.com. And lest you get tempted, remember, sugar highs inevitably lead to sugar lows.
