How many licks?

How many licks does it really take?
According to Mr. Owl it takes "One, A Two-Hooo, Three....*crunch*Three."
When I counted though I got past three in a few seconds, and I wasn't even close to being done. So I wonder how they can put those commercials up when its not even true at all. And even if you bite it on the third time, there will still be more sucker left on the stick. So what the heck, I don't even get why anyone cares how many licks it takes. All that matters is that it is amazingly delicious and has a tootsie roll in the middle. Oh and one more thing, who actually licks these things seriously? Doesn't everybody just put the sucker in your mouth and just suck on it, or have I been doing it wrong? Man all because some little drop-out kid asked a question, a meaningless, time wasting question.
