A pirulín (also known as pirulí) is a multicolor, conic-shaped hard candy 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, this candy used to be very popular and sold in the streets and squares by the pirulineros, who can be considered a kind of peddlers specializing in this kind of candy. However, nowadays it is most commonly found in certain supermarkets specializing in sweets and also in a few "kioscos".
