A lollipop is a sweet on a stick which you suck. This image is carried over the (usually) women who control traffic helping children safely across the road, because they hold a sign which looks a bit like a lollipop. (A job for half an hour before and after school)

OK. I knew that lollipop was a "chupachup", here, but I didn't understand that "ladies".

Thanks. :)

No sé si en otras regiones, pero en el centro del país se llaman paletas. Hay de dulce (o de caramelo) y de hielo (ice-cream popsicles). :rolleyes:

No. Paran los coches para que los niños de escuela primaria crucen con seguridad.
