Wholesale accepting all of the stock Opus colors is certainly a choice.

To be honest, my non-negotiable was that it needed to have some orange, but that doesn't work very good with a calm, minimalist app, so it remained as the accent color.

The rest wasn't my choice, we just did a few tests and my gf chose the palette you see today.

Having said that, you got a point and I didn't even realize it until you mentioned it.

Pirueta is not lollipop in Spanish, it would be “piruletas” (at least in Spain Spanish). Piruetas is pirouette, as in what a ice skater might do.

> it would be “piruletas” (at least in Spain Spanish).

In Spain Spanish I never heard them called anything else than "chupachup" (regardless of brand), guess it's a bit of a "Kleenex/facial tissue" syndrome going on there.

That's a lucky escape. For some reason car manufacturers have this issue Mitsubishi Pajero (renamed in Spain). Ford Pinto (renamed in Brazil). Toyota MR2 (renamed in France although slightly different issue). Honda Fitta (renamed in Scandi countries)

Hyundai Kona (renamed in Portugal to Kauai)

What about the classic heart-shaped bright red "piruleta" from the "fiesta" brand?

I don't know, I thought the design looked really nice.

They don't have "etron" thought, which might explain some poor naming by Audi ?

The demo doesn't work (invalid account when using the creds mentioned on the homepage)

I just tried it demo/piruetas and it works, can you double check?

Can confirm that that username and password are not working in the login page.

Well, we would refer to chupa-chups (brand) to the ones with a ball head. And Kojaks if they had gum inside.

Piruletas were the flat ones, either circular or heart shaped.
