Well, are they sprinkles or jimmies?

You know, the little multi colored or chocolate things that go on your ice cream.

For me, they are jimmies!

Seems now alot of ice cream places call them sprinkles, but when I was a kid they were ALWAYS jimmies.

[Goofyposter]

Definately..... 100% ...without a doubt........ called "jimmies"!

"sprinkles"
are what happen on a well cared for lawn......

..or while potty training a young lad!

Sprinkles, for sure. I was just talking to another DISer on Saturday about these things. I remember a huge soft-serve ice cream covered with SPRINKLES. Once gone and only ice cream was left, the enjoyment was gone and I dumped the thing.
