Pirulín

A pirulín (also known as pirulí) is a multicolor, conic-shaped hard candy of about 10 to 15 cm long, with a sharp conical or pyramidal point, with a stick in the base, and wrapped in cellophane.

In Argentina, Colombia, and Cuba, this candy used to be very popular and sold in the streets and squares by a pirulinero, who are considered a form of peddlers specializing in the candy. Nowadays, it is most commonly found in certain supermarkets specializing in sweets and in a few "kioscos".

Other names for pirulín:
 * Bolivia: pirulo.

 * Guatemala: chupete.
 * Mexico: pirulí or chupirul (the latter name is a result of the success of the trademark used by Luxus).
