To think Hundred and Thousands and Sprinkles...

[RabidAnchovy]

....are the same bloody things, DP informs me I have brought the wrong thing as he wanted 1000s and 1000s on the trifle and I have got sprinkles.

I think he wants to wear the bloody trifle

Leave the Bastard!

Your DP is correct. Sorry
Sprinkles are short lengths, 100s & 1000s are teeny balls.

Yep. Your DH is right.

Yy Chippy.

I hate sprinkles and love hundred and thousands.

YABU! :o

What chippy said. :)

How old is your DP that this should matter?

33 years old

Tell him that buying teeny balls sprinkles when he tinkles must have been a double Freudian slip on your part.

I think, therefore, he should indeed wear the trifle, with added sprinkles.

Hand him a sharp knife and tell him he can cut up the sprinkles until they're the same size as hundreds and thousands. Should only take about a day.

does he not know ther's a recession on, it's the cutbacks
they are not hundreds and thousands anymore
they are just hundreds

insancerre

When I was a child we always had hundreds and thousands and they were definitely little sticks like lots of numbet ones I presumed. Sprinkles are more of an American term i thought. I'm 46 so maybe there were different terms. We never had those little balls. I wouldn't like either on trifle though! We used to put them on fairy or butterfly cakes (no cupcakes in the 70s)

I thought hundreds and thousands ANF sprinkles were the little sticks.

Every day's a school day!

What?! I always thought the colourful little lines were hundrens and thousands and the silver balls were called little silver balls!

According to Wikipedia

I thought 'sprinkles' was the generic term for all small bits of sugary stuff that get sprinkled on cakes and puddings. In my day, the short lengths were called sugar strands and the teeny balls were hundreds and thousands. The least said about Angelica the better...

I have brought little balls he wanted little strands....personally I like flaked nuts on my trifle but DP is allergic to nuts

I thought they were one and the same and google images does too.

Did you know the little silver balls are banned in some US States?

Blimey, when you google image 'Hundreds and thousands' you dont expect to see a vagina.

FWIW OP the internet says youre right.

In that case he's wrong.

You bought actual hundreds and thousands, He wanted sprinkles.

I'm with the OP. Hundreds and thousands and sprinkles are exactly the same thing, and sprinkles is just an American term.

The picture of sprinkles on that cake on Wikipedia are too thick for the hundreds and thousands I was thinking of. They were very thin.

In that case he can glue the sprinkles together to make hundreds and thousands, a little line of four should do it, shouldn't take him long.

Or he can fuck of to the far side of fuck and when he gets there he can fuck off some more (love that).

OR he can stop moaning and say 'Thank you very much for the trifle'.
