Suckers or lollipops?

[Operational needs]

I called these things suckers the other day to my daughter. She laughed and said, “No one calls them suckers anymore”. So, because I’m on vacation and playing on my iPad, I looked them up. They’ve been called lollipops since the 1700’s but Americans generally called them suckers during the 1900’s because of the invention of the all-day suckers. Or, maybe it’s a regional thing. Yes, I know it’s stupid, but aren’t y’all ready for something other than a contract thread? Lol.

I thought lollipop was the antiquated term.

I guess it depends on which source you look at. One said they were invented in the 1700s and another one said the 1900s.

If you're an adult sucking on a lollipop, you're either a porn star or a stripper.

Lollipops. I always thought suckers was a quaint 50s term.

Why can we vote for both options? Kinda defeats the purpose.
