Found this post on IG and I’m wondering what this community’s stance is. With winter now officially here*, I think it’s a valid question.

Edit: *where I live

    Disagree. In each of the cases you’ve cited the term “stick” describes the form of the subject, and no better term exists.

    If small shafts of carrot were commonly called carroticles, then you couldn’t call one a carrot stick.

    Clearly the object pictured in this post is an icicle. It is not an ice stick.
