Sprinkles Revisited!
OK, not really. But here are some cool heat maps that show how Americans in different parts of the country use different terms from each other. Examples like "soda" versus "pop" are there, but "sprinkles" versus "jimmies" is strangely missing.
P.S. The correct word is "sprinkles"!
