I too would love to know where these awful places are for no reason what so ever.

Jimmies are Chocolate

Sprinkles are Multicolored

Saco…Garside’s is the tradition

Don't call me soft, that's racist

That's your white privilege and subconscious racism showing through!

This is the correct answer.

I'm sure that sprinkles is somehow homophobic.

Ogt by chance?

Anyone caught saying “jimmies” in public might find themselves getting hauled off in a paddy wagon.

You’re probably not going believe this, but it actually was. Fair Trade Organic, #430 at my co-op.

Was it French roast?

How many of you who use the (incorrect) term ‘sprinkles’ actually grew up in NH?

There is no evidence that the name is racist. https://www.boston.com/food/food/2015/06/21/is-it-racist-to-call-them-jimmies/

Jimmies ftw

Rainbow and jimmies just doesn’t work together. It’s like saying pineapple with pizza.

Look at everyone getting their jimmies all ruffled. 😆

They are not the same. Jimmies are chocolate and sprinkles are rainbow like others have said.

Closest I've seen is they nicknamed them after some dude who ran the sprinkle machine lol

But at the end of the day, I don't give a shit what people call sprinkles and I can get how people could take it the wrong way (especially today).

I can get why people could roll their eyes, but it's a weird hill to die on.

I only call them Jimmie’s when we vacation in Maine one week out of the year every August….then it’s back to sprinkles in New York. I know, total poser.

That’s bullshit. Jimmies is a specifically New England term that has its roots in a confectioner in Rhode Island who used a cheese grater on a chocolate bar to shave on ice cream. His name was Jim.

It’s been retconned by some dumbass virtue signaler to be tied to Jim Crow - New England had no Jim Crow states. I’m all for inclusive language, but it’s dangerous to give people this kind of power over how we speak. Yes jimmies is a trivial thing, but it’s indicative of what misinformation can do.

Thank you! Why isn't this common knowledge

LOL I'll tell them you said so

I read way too much about the history of Jimmie’s on wiki, since that’s who I am as a Person, and New England and Philly are the only places we commonly call any sprinkles “Jimmie’s” in America.

Sprankles but admittedly I’m a transplant from the South.
