The Original Mr. Owl Tootsie Pop Commercial
The Tootsie Pop Commercial in 3D
The first link is the full one-minute version of the classic Tootsie Pop commercial, which is one of the longest-lasting commercials still on the air (if you count the shortened thirty-second version to be the same thing). The second link is the thirty-second version rendered in 3D.
Of course, it still amuses me that people actually attempt to
calculate the number of licks, mainly because a definitive answer is impossible given the variables involved.
And because I believe that humor should come first in this forum,
here's an Order of the Stick comic that makes fun of this phenomenon.
