Blackpool Rock
Rock is a type of stick-shaped boiled sugar confectionery most usually flavoured with peppermint. It is commonly sold at tourist (usually seaside) resorts in the UK (like Brighton or Blackpool), and in Sydney and Tasmania, Australia.
It usually takes the form of a cylindrical stick ("a stick of rock"), normally 1 cm (0.4 in) in diameter and 20 cm (8 in) long. These cylinders usually have a pattern embedded throughout the length, which is often the name of the resort where the rock is sold, so that the name can be read on both ends of the stick (reversed at one end) and remains legible even after pieces are bitten off. Rock is also manufactured as a promotional item, for example with a company name running through it.
It is sometimes found in the form of individual sweets, with writing or a pattern in the centre; these are, in effect, 'slices' of rock. (See illustration.)
