    So I've encountered various names for this thing... But I want to know what you call it. Y'know, the round candy lump on a stick.

    Where I'm from, I always called it a "sucker."

    That thar's a lollipop.
    A sucker is like a Tootsie pop - smaller than a lollipop.

    A lollipop, or lolly depending on where you're at :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Where I'm from, flat faced candies on a stick like that are generally called that, while if it's a spherical piece of candy, it's called a sucker.

    A lollipop.

    Or, as my mother taught me, "don't eat that thing! Your teeth will rot".

    I've heard the term sucker applied to them when they're more spherical. Anything disc-shaped has always been lollipop.

    Is this also for non-english-speakers? :icon_bigg
    In Italian is called lecca-lecca, which means lick-lick (the big disc shaped one on a stick) or Chupa Chups, which is the biggest brand that produces it (the spherical, little candy on a stick)

    A lolly.

    Never heard of a sucker - unless it's of the male genitalia variety.

    Where I was living in Portugal, I rarely heard pirulito in reference to lollipops, haha. It was just always called a Chupa Chup, even if that wasn't the brand.


    On the US East Coast, regardless of shape, size or composition, they're usually just called lollipops. Unless it's something really obscure and weird, then it's [insert material here] on a stick. (!)
