So to kick off this new adMad Brand Trivia Section here is the first question...

adMad Trivia #1
The very first name of this lollipop was "gol", Spanish for "goal", due to the lollipop's resemblance to a football. But Enric Bernat, the founder was not totally convinced with this name and took another name. In order to advertise their lollipops, the young entrepreneur and his colleagues created a song that was played on the radio.

English translation for the same was:-
Get something sweet to lick
Lick lick lick a ....
It's round and lasts so long
Lick lick lick a ....
It's on a stick
So you stay clean
And if you want to get a mouthful
Lick lick lick a ....

Due to the catchy chorus, young consumers were soon flocking to candy stores and sing for ".... ...." instead of the actual name. Ever aware of his market, Enric Bernat decided to go along with this involuntary change and following the philosophy of "If you can't beat them, join them", re-christened his product. What was the new name?
