Everybody loves a good debate. One of the funniest I’ve heard since I've been in this region is the great debate about sprinkles or jimmies. Most of the country refers to them as rainbow sprinkles and chocolate sprinkles.
But not here.
It’s rainbow sprinkles and chocolate jimmies.
I’ve read so many comments through the years on social media about this, and some people get downright irate. It's like the Hatfields vs. the McCoys historic feud or the Eagles vs. the Cowboys.
On Tuesday, while I was conducting an interview with Rasul Douglas, I asked him if he had any pregame superstitions. He proceeded to tell me that he eats ice cream on a cone before games. So naturally, I had to ask him if he puts sprinkles or jimmies on it. For the record, I asked both rookie Andre Dillard, who’s from the state of Washington, and Lane Johnson, who’s from Texas, to add their perspective. They both agreed it's sprinkles. When I asked Lane if he had ever heard of jimmies he said ... well, I can’t print his response. So back to Rasul. Here’s his answer to that question in the video above — and keep in mind he’s from East Orange, New Jersey.
