A pirulín (also known as pirulí) is a multicolor, conic-shaped lollipop 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 hard 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".
José Arechavaleta is credited with the invention of pirulí.
Other names for pirulín:
- Bolivia: pirulo.
- Chile: pico dulce.
- Guatemala: chupete.
- Mexico: pirulí or chupirul (the latter name is a result of the success of the trademark used by Luxus).
