I remember when I was a child I used to say "pajita" but now we all say "sorbete". This is valid for Argentina. I've heard that in some Latin American countries it is said "bombilla" or "pajilla".

Oh, how funny! Bombilla and pajilla. Don't say
pajilla over here!
Bombilla is simply a light bulb.
We say pajita, too, especially children.

What a twisted mind, and everything because in Argentina there's the word "paja" with a sexual connotation, I have to agree with Victoria..jerks!

Another regional difference: sorbete in Spain is this.

The word paja on the other hand seems to have the same sexual connotation everywhere.
