Aliasing sucker -> lollipop.

Reason:

there's a lollipop born every minute

Not the same things.

I fail too see the cocept.

Sure one is bigger than the other and both are on stiicks but I ask you, if the tasty candy is in your mouth and only the stick is visable, what is it then?

sucker

Because only little girls from the 50's eat lollipops

For the most part you suck on a sucker and lick a lollipop. If all you see is the stick then I'd assume sucker because lollipops are usually fairly large.

Lollipop
Sucker

I've always called both of those things lollipops, since I was a kid.

Perhaps an implication is in order

While you could make the distinction, it's not common. I approve of the alias because:
1. People probably aren't considering such a difference, they just want candy on a stick.
2. If it does matter to people searching, that should be a different tag, e.g. licking
3. There's no distinction in popular culture. For example, from Peanuts, Linus's "Never jump into a pile of leaves with a wet sucker." when the sucker is clearly a gargantuan, disc-type candy on a stick. Wikipedia doesn't make a distinction either.
4. I support the use of "lollipop" because it's less ambiguous than "sucker".

Agreed

lollipops or ice lollies have flat ( wooden ) sticks, but suckers have round ( paper ) sticks. lollipops tend to be flat circles wile suckers are spherical. lollipops are often to big to put in the mouth in one go and need licking, suckers tend to have a stoping base to prevent chocking like candy rings or candy baby pacifiers. In the case of small lollipops they have plastic sticks like candy whistles or chupa chups.

How about we keep lollipop and sucker as they are, but implicate, for you candy fetishists:

sucker, lollipop --> candy

lollipops are the huge twisty thingies while suckers are generally just spheres
