Found this post on IG and I'm wondering what this community's stance is. With winter now officially here*, I think it's a valid question.
Edit: *where I live

A place for enthusiasts of sticks of all shapes and sizes. We all love a good stick! Is it a walking stick? Light Saber? Gun? Looks brown and sticky? You decide!
Feel free to post sticks to rate, sticks that look like things, memes about sticks, long winded rants about the superiority of birch sticks over oak, anything stick related! Natural sticks are preferred, but modification and ornamentation is also fine.

Disagree. In each of the cases you've cited the term "stick" describes the form of the subject, and no better term exists.
If small shafts of carrot were commonly called carroticles, then you couldn't call one a carrot stick.
Clearly the object pictured in this post is an icicle. It is not an ice stick.
The voice of reason.
