I usually reserve the word "sucker" for the smaller ... balls... (there are so few ways to talk about this without giggling like a 12-year-old) like Dum-Dums. I'd err on the side of "lollipops" for most of these treats just because I like saying "lollipop," but I do notice a lot of use of the word "sucker" in western PA when I'm around my mom's relatives. "Lollipop" seems to be the word of choice around eastern NC.
