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".Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
