Curious

So, these are the frozen treats that Sophie picked out the other day. We had them for dessert one night, and as I was getting them out of the freezer, I had a memory blast. I remembered that while I pronounce the name "fudgesicles", my mother always called these "fudgicles".
~*~
I giggled about it, and shared that tidbit with my husband. I assumed this was just another mom-ism, like the way she says coupons as "kewpons". (You know I love you, Mom!!) Come to find out, my hubs said that he called these fudgicals as a kid, too. Wha?? Is this some freakish generational thing? Did our country as a whole regularly leave out the "s" in fudgsicle back in the day? I'm so curious...have you experienced this phenomenon? What do YOU call these ...besides totally yummy :)
