Write me a story about how many licks it really took to get to the center of a tootsie pop.
Today was the day. Tim would set the Guinness World Record for most Tootsie Pops eaten in a day via individual licks. He didn't practice because he knew that sheer willpower would get him through. The judges and recorders arrived, and it was time to start. Tim unwrapped the first Tootsie Pop, a delicious chocolate lollipop in a brown wrapper. His mission began. Tim flattened his tongue, creating the optimal surface area of licking power to consume the delicious chocolate Tootsie Pop. His strategy was to keep the Pop in his left hand and move his tongue and head around the lollipop, before then fatiguing to use his right hand, turning and pulling the lollipop against his tongue as his head remained stationary. Two hours had passed, and he still hadn't gotten to the center of the first tootsie pop. His tongue began to seize up. The muscles in his face spasmed! He didn't know if he could go on much longer. And then, 962 licks later, he was at the center! "One" said the judge. The recorder handed Tim the next Tootsie Pop. "Whooaaattt?" he hardly articulated.
