What is so うまそう about the flower name スノードロップ?


I've seen people saying that this flower has an うまそう name. Why is that? Does
it sound similar to some candy or what?

Examples include <https://twitter.com/hanabot_aph/status/699851458590543872>
or 24th episode of 怪盗セイントテール, where Asuka can't remember what the flower is
called and all he knows is that it has a tasty sounding name.




It's probably because ドロップ is a type of hard candy, similar to something like
"lemon drops" (though not necessarily lemon). See
[this](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%89%E3%83%AD%E3%83%83%E3%83%97)
wikipedia page for details.

It may also be because of the connection of スノー to スノーコーン(snow cone). I am not
sure how often this word is used in Japanese but you can see an example
[here](http://www.amazon.co.jp/Nostalgia-%E3%83%8E%E3%82%B9%E3%82%BF%E3%83%AB%E3%82%B8%E3%82%A2-%E3%81%8B%E3%81%8D%E6%B0%B7%E6%A9%9F-%E3%82%B9%E3%83%8E%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B3%E3%83%BC%E3%83%B3/dp/B004L8EXZA).
