Sprinkles. There’s a reason “jimmies” are only chocolate, it’s a racial thing so i don’t really think I should be saying it. Everyone seems to agree it’s only for chocolate sprinkles but they also seem to think it can’t have anything to do with color 🤷‍♂️

If you don’t feel comfortable saying it, you do you, but there no evidence Jimmies is a racial thing in this context. Not dismissing Jim Crow one bit, but no one has been able to make a connection to the chocolate sprinkles.

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.
