    The first time I ever heard of this was in the game Dinkum. That was when I discovered Australians apparently say “hundreds and thousands” to refer to what we call sprinkles. I appreciate most of our little differences but that one puzzles me.

      100’s and 1000’s is specifically the spherical sprinkles. I don’t know why. But it’s totally acceptable to call them sprinkles too.
