Um, ah, er, yeah. Sprinkles?

*cough*

They're sprinkles. Jimmies is a brand of sprinkles. Just like Kleenex is a brand of tissue, but if you say "give me a Kleenex" people will understand exactly what you mean and hand you a tissue.

That's not true.

Ummmmm... hey! The guy I work with calls them jimmies too! Does that count for a vote?!

*sigh* Damn... sorry, no... I called them jimmies this morning and he gives me that same stupid look he always gives me when I say something that requires thought for someone with an IQ over 60.

No, seriously... I DO sometimes say something like that!!

The first time I ever heard them called jimmies was when I got to college. I had no idea what they were talking about.

There seems to be some confusion, so...

Sprinkles = tiny round candy balls






Jimmies = longer and thin, usually chocolate flavored





If you were trapped in a bakery factory and had to send out a SOS via morphe's code, the sprinkles would be dots and the jimmies would be dashes.
