Dumb thread I know, but someone just gave me crap about it at work, so here we go.
(https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61YRErjcpES._SX425_.jpg)
These things that go on ice cream. Do you call them sprinkles or jimmys?
-
Jimmys!!!
I'm in the Atlantic Northeast.

The fuck is a Jimmy?

When I was in college, I worked at a Baskin-Robbins. First time someone came in and asked for "jimmies," I looked at him like he had two heads. I had literally no clue what he was talking about. Outside of that context and occasionally online, I've never heard of it. It just sounds weird.
Sprinkles all the way!

Haven't we discussed this here before? I have never heard them called Jimmies. I Googled "Jimmies" and of course because it is 2022, the first result asked the "Age-Old Question of Whether Jimmies Are Racist."

You call hamburgers 'steamed hams'?
Uh, It's a regional dialect.
Uh-huh. Eh, what region?
Uh...upstate New York.
Really? Well I'm from Utica and I've never heard anyone use the phrase 'steamed hams'.
Skinner: Oh, not in Utica, no. It's an Albany expression.
Chalmers: I see.

My next door neighbors name...
I've literally never heard the term jimmys used for sprinkles before.

Holy crap. It just dawned onto me that that Simpsons' episode that the quote came from was more than 25 years ago.

I had a deja-vu moment because even PG story sounded similar :lol
-
The correct answer is sprinkles. Trust me, I'm an industry insider :lol
-
I have never in my life heard of anyone ever calling these things anything but sprinkles, never mind "Jimmys." But that totally sounds like something northeast dudes would call things they put on their food for some reason. Reminds me of "yinz."
-
Sprinkles. Or in Swedish; strössel.
-
Up here in N.E. we call them Jimmy's but of course I've heard sprinkles as well. And only the chocolate ones for me. No rainbows. A man has his reputation to uphold. :lol

Sprinkles, but makes sense since I'm out in AZ. Never heard them called Jimmys out in the ole west.
-
LOLOL. Boy verses girl thing I think?

The fuck is a Jimmy?
As a Connecticut resident, that's embarrassing. :) :) :) :)
I've had this conversation multiple times. "Sprinkles" is the corporate, "I wish I was cool, but I'm not, and I never will be" answer. "Jimmy's" is the Chuck Norris/Wolfking answer. :) :)
(I'm talking smack; my go-to is chocolate chip ice cream, sometimes with hot fudge and chocolate sprinkes. When I order, 8 times out of 10 I say "sprinkles".

For real? I've lived 33 years in this state and don't think I have ever (literally never) heard anyone refer to them as "jimmies" until this thread.

Haha. I was editing at the same time you replied; I'm just busting on you. I think age factors in as well. I rarely EVER hear the term "jimmies" anymore and I have had to explain it to people that were younger - though not by much - than I am.

What isn't these days? I have a different screen name that I use in some other forums and once had someone private message me something like, "Do you REALLY not understand how offensive your screen name is??!!" When I politely asked that this person explain what the fuck he/she was talking about, I got some generic response like, "do your research."
-
Regardless of what you call it, I find them disgusting. I can't think of a better way to ruin a good ice cream dessert. :tdwn
-
I have no interest in the rainbow ones, but I genuinely love chocolate ones. I always wished for a way to have them inserted into the soft serve as it came out. I'm always bummed when I finish what's on the outside and am left with just plain frozen yogurt.
-
Are we overlooking the simple fact that they are SPRINKLED on the top of a treat? No one ever JIMMIED anything on to an ice cream sundae.
-
Hard to argue with that.
I've definitely jimmied open an ice cream sandwich because I have a thing for eating the wafer in isolation.
-

That just means that someone who didn't know they were called "jimmies" improvised during a pressure-filled order session and the name stuck. I'm not looking to reward ignorance. :) :) :)
-
I was curious...
Good read on sprinkles:
https://www.foodandwine.com/news/history-sprinkles

Those are sprinkles, and ONLY sprinkles.
Jimmys host late-night talk shows.
-

Jimmied: force open (a window or door) with a jimmy.
I guess by the definition, adding sprinkles is basically jimmied something on a sundae? Is that how the logic is where the term became Jimmy's?

There is no logic to it.

I've dumped them into our ice cream maker. Works quite well.

Jimmy likes Elaine.
Jimmy likes sprinkles too.
-
Personally, I call them Sprinkles but I'm familiar with the term Jimmy's too. Either way, no big deal.

Flipping around Youtube and I came across Don Johnson as Big Daddy in Django Unchained. He frequently referred to Django as a "jimmy." I've got a pretty broad lexicon of racial epithets, and I gotta say I've never heard of that before. The article about whether or not calling sprinkles Jimmies is racist didn't make a damn bit of sense when I read it, but makes more now.

I think there's a leap there. I haven't seen Django Unchained, but that reads to me like a "jimmy" is short for "Jim Crow", which was often used as a pejorative reference to black people. There are allusions to "jimmy" (sprinkle) being a reference to Jim Crow, but I'm not seeing how that leap happens. The company that created them has always maintained it's the first name of the inventor. I get it; the racial Occam's Razor says that if there are two competing explanations, and one points out "Racism" that it is liked the more acceptable answer, but I don't typically make that assumption.

The problem is that part of the debate among people who accept "jimmy" as a term for the awful things is whether or not the multi-colored sprinkles are also called "jimmies" or whether or not it's exclusively the chocolate ones. The simple existence of the debate calls the "named after the inventor" argument into question.
In the end, I honestly don't care. No horse in this race. Merely pointing out that jimmy actually does exist as a racial slur for black folk, which was news to me, and makes the story at least plausible where it really wasn't before.
-
I was never aware of why it was called jimmies growing up. Reading up about it. I saw this.
"According to the brand Mr. Sprinkles, the name “jimmies” wasn't inspired by Just Born at all, but was in fact a name given to the sugary confections after Dr. Sidney Farber, an uncle of Edward Brigham, created a charitable organization named after one of his patients called The Jimmy Fund, which still exists today."

Thank you for articulating one of my biggest pet peeves. I would change it slightly, however: "if there are two competing explanations, and one points out "racism," then that explanation -- no matter how convoluted -- is likely the more acceptable answer."

Racism had nothing to do with this thread until you mentioned it. That's why the stupid shit never goes away because people keep bringing the stupid shit up. You know how that works? Stick to the topic buddy boy.

Yeah, actually Cool Chris was the one that introduced the subject. Not me. I actually ignored it until I discovered by accident that there actually was one little component of the story that did make sense.
And I've been trying damn hard to be civil to you for the last few months. Even my reply here was lighthearted with some comical examples. Knock off the buddy boy shit.

Everybody, let's all calm down and get the point at hand. There are two people that voted Jimmy's and we know who voted that.

3. I voted Jimmies. It's what I called them my whole live. Lived in an area where I hung out with kids who were African American, Peruvian, Dominican, Puerto Rican, E
Ecuadorian, ect.
We all called it Jimmies. Maybe we were too young to understand or maybe nobody took it that way.
I just don't know the answer. Like I said, I think it's a regional thing.
-
Maybe we can at least all agree that hundreds and thousands is the dumbest name yet.
-
Lol. I do think if people feel that way, I can call them sprinkles. I'm more of a hot peanut butter over ice cream. Which I haven't had in a long time.
-
So what about hagelslag?

WTF is hagelslag? :lol

Hot fudge. Only.

Hageslag (hailstorm, I think) is a good word. I like it.

I've never heard a hail storm called a hageslag.

I'm completely down with that. I've thought that since (the apparently departed?) Kowtowboy brought it up in the other thread.
WTF is hagelslag? :lol
In German, it means hail storm, so maybe Cram is referring to the band with that woman who did the guest vocal slot on The Astonishing?
-
Hageslag is Dutch.

No.

Apparently, Hageslag is the Dutch word for Chocolate Sprinkles?

Particular type of sprinkles that is more designed as a sandwich filling than a dessert topping.
-
Hageslag is Dutch.
Well...and it isn't the least bit surprising that Deutsch and Dutch share words...it is a German word that means hail storm.
Chocolate sprinkles on buttered bread. That REALLY sounds like something Americans would have come up with and snooty Euros would make fun of us for doing. :lol

Very.
The term Jimmie for a condom is probably a 60-70s thing. You kids of course would be utterly unfamiliar.

That's fucking horrifying.
I thought so too until I had it. Granted, the sprinkles in the Netherlands are not the same as sprinkles in the US. It's more of a real chocolate. Buttered white bread spread with the sprinkles isn't that different than nuttella on bread. It's pretty good. I would never consider putting the US version of sprinkles on bread though. I had wondered for so long when traveling to Amsterdam why they served sprinkles with breakfast before people watching and noticing the way they used it.
Here's my coworker and I's first attempt lol

Yup!

As it should be! :)

I did chuckle and went back to my car to get my phone for the picture.

"Crunch Coat?"
-
"Crunch Coat?"
It's sort of Captian Crunch broken up into little pieces that coat the ice cream.
-
:puke:
-
:lol
Not my go too but it's OK. Give me hot peanut butter every time.
-
I don't like peanut butter flavored anything.
I like peanut butter on toast, peanut butter sandwiches, and Reese's peanut butter cups. That's it.
-
Well, that's 3 peanut butter items you like so you contradicted yourself. Lol
-
I meant OTHER than those three things. :P
Although I'd like to try a Crunch Coat on some vanilla ice cream.
-
Dairy Queen had that crunch as well.

I haven't been to a Dairy Queen since I was like 10.

They have faded away here too. There's a few left.

That is exactly where I am at with peanut butter, and even with chocolate it's a stretch. On some Thai dishes it works great. But otherwise it needs to stay in its lane.
There is a DQ right by our house and we get Blizzards there occasionally. I stopped there for lunch one day, which is something I never do, and really enjoyed the burger I got.
-
Every time we go back that way, my wife (and now my daughter) MUST have a Reese's Pieces sundae at Friendly's.
-
I was coffee or a banana fribble from Friendly's. My wife worked there and the mall where she worked, I was a mall rat. She had to take my orders so many times.
-
Don't get me started; the THREE closest Friendly's to me all closed in the last two years or so (and it's HEADQUARTERED about 10 miles from me, so these are LOCAL stores!).
We used to go all the time; my wife and I would each get one of the melts, my stepson his burger, and we'd all get a treat after. I would vary between the chocolate chip ice cream or a black raspberry fribble. The only thing that makes up for it is I have two local creameries that have decent ice cream (one is like a mile away).

The only thing that makes up for it is I have two local creameries that have decent ice cream (one is like a mile away).
Same in Waterbury :( All three locations are now gone. One was knocked down and turned into one of those ultra-rare Taco Bell places, one became a diner, and I'm not sure of what came of location number 3. I miss the honey BBQ chicken super melt with waffle fries so much!
What creameries do you have out your way? I'm assuming one is Uconn's? I've got Arethusa in Litchfield/Morris and absolutely love it.

I initially read "creameries" as "cemeteries" and was very confused.
I have two of those, as well, on my street. :)
You have two cemeteries on the same street? Wow, people must be dying to get in there.

Don't get me started; the THREE closest Friendly's to me all closed in the last two years or so (and it's HEADQUARTERED about 10 miles from me, so these are LOCAL stores!).

No, I'm a little too far west for Uconn. I have the Granville Scoop right around the corner and one in the center of Granby (I can't remember the name; Deep something). There's one in Simsbury (Tulmeadow Farms) and sometimes I go back to Smith's in Enfield (there's another farm on Abbe Road in Enfield too that's good, though I don't remember that name either).

HAHAHA, that's a family joke; my dad has said that to me about 100 times in my life and I laugh every time. I told that to my stepson and he didn't get it. :)
No, I have one that is a sort of memorial cemetery; it's got like 10 plots on it from colonial times, then a bigger one right over the Massachusetts border.
