Out of curiosity (now I really wanna know! heh), got any references? I'm not having luck finding a list of confectionery terms on the net, and everything I can find on "lollipop" and "sucker" uses them essentially interchangeably, including pages on the history of the words and the candy itself (ca. early 20th century in the meaning we know today, apparently), with no particular reference to the shape of the candy.
