How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tooste pop? The world may never know.

The vendor was using a John Deere loader and I assumed he had a one yard bucket, but if he had a one cubic metre bucket that would explain the difference.

It may also vary depending on how the bucket struck. Around here, the yards have 1/2, 1, and 2 yard buckets. If the load is the bucket is even with the mouth of the bucket, you get the correct amount. If it is heaped over, then you get a little extra. If they shake the bucket, and the material is below the mouth of the curled bucket, then you got shorted.

Either you got a cubic metre, or an overstruck cubic yard. Or, maybe you got a overstruck cubic metre

I remember the tv ad with the owl licking on the Tootsie Pop. He never made it past three licks. So three is the answer, afterall I saw it on TV!
