Title: Sprinkles. . .
Post by: Troglodyte on February 13, 2002, 07:31:13 PM: So. . . I\'m eating ice cream and I put some chocolate sprinkles in the bowl.

Long story short. . .

I call them "sprinkles," as do most people in the American SouthEast. My ex, native of NorthEast America, calls them "Jimmies." Which is totally wrong.

I was wondering what y\'all call them from where you\'re from.

Have you tried nerds on your ice cream? I don\'t know if you have them in the US, but they are these small coloured sugar things made by Willy Wonker. We have them at Mc Donalds in the McFlurreys.

They are so nice in Ice Cream.

I have a friend that gets Nerds in her Dairy Queen Blizzards!

Nerds are awesome!

Here in SouthEast America, we have chocolate sprinkles and Rainbow Sprinkles. Then we also have Sugar Sprinkles, which are like clear Nerds.

Post by: AustinWHAT316 on February 14, 2002, 12:16:31 PM: Chump Chump Chump ... yeah. All that valentine candy you got from your woman ... whom you broke up with so you wouldn\'t have to buy her a valentines gift ... *gasp* and buy Max Payne which you still don\'t have money for? Thought so.

Sprinkles = tiny little balls or flakes of candy-ish stuff
Jimmies = the small sticks of candy-ish stuff
