Answer 4

Candy, specifically sugar candy, is a confectionery made from a concentrated solution of sugar in water with various flavorings and colorants added.

More generally, and especially in North America, "candy" also includes other sweet *and sour* confectionaries such as candy bars, skittles, chocolates, licorice, and chewing gum. The generic informal name for such confectioneries outside North America is 'sweet' (UK, Ireland, New Zealand), 'lolly', or 'lollypop' (Australia, New Zealand). In North America and the U.K, 'lollipop' refers specifically to sugar candy on a stick.
