I'm from PA but live in WA.</p> <p>ETA: I think I've only used the word 'sucker' for describing someone. Like 'I'm such a sucker for lollipops!' Maybe I might use it to describe a pacifier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-these-1/page/2#post-2098503 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 19:12:01 +0000 wonderstruck 2098503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: I live in Michigan but totally agree with you on what is a sucker and what is a lollipop! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-these-1/page/2#post-2098496 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 19:02:51 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2098496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: Yup! First picture is a sucker, the swirly one is a lollipop. I never heard someone say differently until I moved out to the East coast! It's a midwest term I think. Or maybe lollipop is only an eastern term. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-these-1/page/2#post-2098401 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 16:53:51 +0000 IRunForFun 2098401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All hard candy on a stick is a lollipop! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-these-1/page/2#post-2098322 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 15:59:31 +0000 photojane 2098322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>sucker! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-these-1/page/2#post-2098284 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 15:45:20 +0000 Ra 2098284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lollipop! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-these-1/page/2#post-2098205 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 14:54:08 +0000 MrsBrewer 2098205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: Bubbler!!

Plus, I'm pregnant and spend most of the first trimester with a preggie pop in my mouth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-these-1#post-2098112 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 14:08:39 +0000 ShootingStar 2098112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's funny to me that people would use the term sucker, which around here isn't such a nice thing. And has a connotation you might not want used around children :silly: . But it's even funnier that so many people need to reference this candy so often. I can't remember the last time I had a lollipop or talked about one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-these-1#post-2098089 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 13:57:13 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2098089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsrain: same!</p> <p>Ontario Canada here :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-these-1#post-2098084 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 13:53:11 +0000 Torchwood 2098084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as @Anagram. I'm from TN. It's interesting that so many different areas are saying suckers, but the poll is leaning towards lollipop. I wonder if it's because the demographic for HB seems to be more northern. Or if the non-Americans are affecting it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-these-1#post-2098083 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 13:51:18 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2098083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: I've lived in Texas my whole life and still say lollipop!

Midwest thing, I guess. I'll refer to them that way with DH or our families. Same with bubbler ;) Everyone else who will look at me funny gets lollipop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-these-1#post-2098010 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 12:59:09 +0000 erinpye 2098010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Suckers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-call-these-1#post-2098004 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 12:56:20 +0000 Anagram 2098004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I offered some students who came in to help me some "suckers" and they were so confused. :shocked: </p>
