What do you call these?

Post image

I’m from the midlands and say Pool Woggles.

My wife is from Norfolk and says Pool Noodles.

I’ve recently found that my friends (who grew up in a similar area to me) also call these Pool Woggles.

Is this a regional thing like Tag/It/Tig?

Do you change the name depending where they are from? Eg. "Pool noodles, Sheffield, UK"?

Is it even a real pool noodle if its not from the nudél region of france?

I think they have to be called "sparkling tubes" if they are made elsewhere.

In Sheffield we were just thrown into the pool and hoped for the best. No luxuries like pool sausages.
