Reply to comment by WelfarePeanutButter in In honor of ice cream places opening soon do you call them “Jimmies” or “Sprinkles”? by IamMikey1

What's that "solid evidence" no article has ever listed? And if it's from Jim Crow, why don't other parts of the country even know the term? I asked a girl for jimmies in the South and she was amazingly confused.

You know what? I’m going to eat my hat a bit on this. I had read the Vice article someone else mentioned on this thread not too long ago (my sister owns an ice cream shop, and we were discussing this very issue) and I remembered it as having actual evidence in it. It does not, and coupled with other articles I’ve just read, it is likely not true.
