French term

sucette "frimousse"

French to English Other Food & Drink candy
From a list of candy in a shop.

The only reference I could find to this when Googling is this:
http://www.bonbonweb.com/bonbonweb/M3/detail76.htm
and the very small pic seems to show a lollipop with a face on it. I remember eating these - flat, white, circular suckers with a picture on them, like Santa, smiley faces, animals, etc.

Does anyone know if there is a special term for this type of lollipop in English?
Otherwise, for now I am going to go with something like "babyface lollipop" or "funny face lollipop".

Thanks in advance,
Mara

Your analogy makes sense, Francis. Thanks!

Thanks Francis and Emily for your suggestions. I like them, but the only thing that concerns me is that the face on the lollipop in the picture doesn't look like it's smiling. Or am I being too picky?

par analogie les fameux \"smileys\" utilisés pour illustrer les correspondances en ligne ne sont pas toujours \"souriants\", loin de là

2 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "While I fully agree with Francis' analogy that not all smileys are smiling :-), I later learned that these lollipops don't always have faces on them - sometimes there are pictures of animals, or sports symbols (soccer ball, Sports team logo, etc.) or an entire person like santa or a witch at Hallowe'en, not just their face. So in the end, I went with "picture pop". I appreciate everyone's help."

Happy Pop

I would call it a Happy Pop ... but that could just be my family that uses that term.
