[Floyd R. Turbo]

“Jimmies” or “Sprinkles”?

[Squinch]

1. Frickin' sprinkles. Jimmy is what you do to a car. Don't make me come over there.

[Lochloosa]

3. Wouldn't that be Jimmie?

[Squinch]

5. Whichever it is, you don't put it on an ice cream cone.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

[Squinch]

21. Oh, shoot. You're making my head hurt.

i never heard of "jimmies" -- i googled & think it might be a north eastern word. (they're wrong)

[whathehell]

31. Though I now live in Chicago "Sprinkles" territory

I'm from "Jimmies" country in Philladelphia and I think "sprinkles" are for sissies.

Sprinkles (and 'pop') exist only in the boonies west of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania.

[madaboutharry]

compared to Philly.

[In_The_Wind]

28. Sprinkles ...

and that is my final answer.

I managed a Carvel Ice Cream store on the Thruway. It appeared as if the east-coasters called them sprinkles while someone from the west called 'em jimmies.

[Kittycow]

29. Sprinkles!

I'm on the West Coast and was an adult by the time I first heard them called "jimmies".

I wonder what the story behind calling them jimmies is.

[whathehell]

Philadelphia PA.

[smirkymonkey]

I'm a New Yorker. Live in MA now and I think some people call them jimmies here, but they will always be sprinkles to me.
