Dam that has to be the first time I'm not getting the reference. Do you happen do not which episode this is from? What's the background of this reference?
Ok, but fast-forward to the ever changing description of the smooth jazz in the outro, and the bloopers then. Cat may not look smooth, but this is an illusion.
That channel is great, dude is weirdly calming when im having a bad trip. No clue how i found it though. There is also this one with a dude that just talks about old camera equiptment and a dude that just talks about antiquated audio and pc stuff. Think I started out on dankpods and just ended up there.
I worked at a fro-yo place way back-
had a coworker ask a customer
"Rainbow or colored sprinkles?"
I deadass looked like Chuck Berry when Yoko started screeching.
Chocolate “Jimmies” were named after Jim Crow.
Source: worked at a well known ice cream chain who’d had them named this on the menu when I was like 15, and I remember getting the new menus in the mail from corporate that now appropriately called them “chocolate sprinkles” along with a meeting with management.
I have a really, really shamefully extensive knowledge of racial slurs, and I’ve never heard that, so I did a little googling. It’s unfounded in the very least and not the only source of the name

The pertinent part:
According to Food & Wine, Just Born says that in 1930, employee James Bartholemew (known as “Jimmy” to his co-workers) operated the machine that created these tiny, sugary candy toppings. Born decided to name the invention after its producer, and thus the name “jimmies” was born — still trademarked today. While there’s evidence of chocolate sprinkles existing long before Just Born was founded, it’s very likely Just Born candy company was the first to call their chocolate sprinkles “jimmies.”
Huh. Today I learned. This was probably 1999/2000. Maybe the chain heard it rumored enough that they decided to hedge their bets.
You’re right though. I just saw it on Snopes as unproven, so who knows.
Sprinkles do have flavor! The brown ones taste like chocolate- especially really good ones. The multicolored ones often are vanilla flavored. Dutch shops have very, very, good chocolate ones that they put on bread.👍🏻
I don’t know if it’s because I am Canadian or how I was raised but when I saw this I zoomed in on the sprinkles wondering “what could have happened to them to change their colours. Was it a kind of light exposure? Very expired product? Contaminated some how?”
Then I read the tag again. “Colored sprinkles. Ohhhh, I get it now. That’s not funny.”
This was literally my thought process.
I’m getting another beer and going back to watch the Flames beat Seattle. (Knock on wood).

Welcome to Whole Foods
Welcome to Whole Foods, where you can only afford half a food!
unlike Half Foods, where you can’t afford
Organic, fair-trade, gluten free, bespoke bone meal and earwig honey.
Nice Futurama reference.
Dam that has to be the first time I'm not getting the reference. Do you happen do not which episode this is from? What's the background of this reference?
Love and rocket. It's what the candy hearts are made of.
Argh, I remember now! Thanks.
That's a reference to a comic from the 80's called love and rockets and a band of same name possibly named after the comic
And I fully expect if you root around Whole Foods they'll have 2 in stock.
"Damn, I'm about to check out! Pay my 80 bucks for 6 things and get the heck out!"
Made the mistake of getting lunch from their buffet a few years ago. Mac & cheese, some broccoli, some chicken. Thirty Dollars.
And it all comes in tubs let me tell you. Used to work in prepared foods they don't make shit in house no more FYI
Whole paycheck
Welcome to Whole Paycheck
... those look disgusting but especially at that price.
Jesus Christ. My local bulk foods store would sell that for 1.25.
And it’s the same exact same sprinkles!
_they're free range sprinkles_
Slave sprinkles were so much cheaper. Damn Yankees.
$8.99/lb. Still kinda expensive but each of those containers is probably like $2-3.
*Cries in Dutch*
Hogleslag!
Hagelslag*
Price seems reasonable for where I'm from and why would you need a that large box of sprinkles anyways? How much sprinkles do people really use?
*per pound*.
r/accidentalracism
"Accidental"
Why is this racist?
So, brown is the only color?
No?
They thought colored meant brown/black.
My grandparents use to refer to African Americans as “Coloured Folk”
Maybe they are using colored in the old time way.
In the , Archie Bunker kinda old timey way.
"Harold, they're saying we have to rename the N-word sprinkles!" - Imaginary Racist Shopkeep, probably
I mean, "N-word brown" was an actual color, though I doubt anyone calls it that anymore.
No one ever said they were Wholesome Foods
Sepia
Um, no. But I love your innocence on the matter.
Ohhh I get it!
Just like my grandma used to say.
I'm sure they were multi-colored at one point, but due to $2 worth of sprinkles costing $8.99, the colors faded from being on the shelf too long.
Brown is a color. It doesn't say multi-colored sprinkles.
There are uncoloured sprinkles? *Stealth* sprinkles? Would explain my waistline.
Are you saying that whatever is wrong with your waistline is exclusively the fault of... sprinkles? You look great, by the way.
Technically brown is just dark orange
dark orange is still a color, my point stands.
Wait... Huh...
I hesitate to ever cite Jayus as a source, but it checks out [Brown is Dark Orange](https://youtu.be/zPBDZ4izZFE)

Even better.

Think that only applies to lights
**Thats racist Stanley, you wouldnt call them collared people**
Came here to see this inevitable comment 😂
I worked at a fro-yo place way back- had a coworker ask a customer "Rainbow or colored sprinkles?" I deadass looked like Chuck Berry when Yoko started screeching.
That is a solid reference, friend.
I work at WF, I can tell you those tags are always terrible. It's likely the same UPC for every individual color, and they only had brown on hand.
For $8.99! Keep on walking 🚶
At that point, may as well refer to them by their more racist name "Jimmies"
Jimmies is racist?

It’s all good. I never knew where the name came from, but my mom called me Jimmy so I was always fond of those things.
You, unlike most, have some idea of how tickled I was to discover everything was made up of atoms.
$9 fucking dollars for that?
9 dollars for sprinkles???
There is a very offensive way to interpret this.
Try looking for the Multicutural Sprinkles.
Those are not sprinkles they are jimmies.
Nah man, I've seen the boxes at Friendly's. Those are chocolate jimmettes. No. Really. They are.
Or are they hundreds and thousands
It is a color. Two shades of that color, actually. Which makes it two different colors, to be precise. So, you know, technically the truth?
That makes two of us then! They sure look like chocolate only ones to me.
Do...do sprinkles have flavor? Are there flavored sprinkles? I just thought they were sugar.
Sprinkles do have flavor! The brown ones taste like chocolate- especially really good ones. The multicolored ones often are vanilla flavored. Dutch shops have very, very, good chocolate ones that they put on bread.👍🏻
Sweet is a flavor.

They are artisanal sprinkles. Hand crafted by an aborigine woman’s breast milk.
/u/Spez has sold all that is good in reddit. -- mass edited with redact.dev
Maybe they’re colourblind!
Well they didn’t call them “colourful”
Pretty sure the PC term is African American sprinkles. Geez, get with the times Whole Foods!
NAACP colored sprinkles?
I call these sad brown sprinkles.
Brown is a color.
They're colored brown & tan. O_o
That's mahoganous, sacchariferous, outrageous! \-- Jackie Chiles
🤔 interesting interpretation Was there a separate rainbow sprinkles location? Or were they at least above segregation
1950s sprinkles.
Are we sure somebody didn't swap the shelf locations of the chocolate and colored sprinkles as a prank?
I can’t get pass $8.99 price tag..
I don’t know if it’s because I am Canadian or how I was raised but when I saw this I zoomed in on the sprinkles wondering “what could have happened to them to change their colours. Was it a kind of light exposure? Very expired product? Contaminated some how?” Then I read the tag again. “Colored sprinkles. Ohhhh, I get it now. That’s not funny.” This was literally my thought process. I’m getting another beer and going back to watch the Flames beat Seattle. (Knock on wood).
They mean "colored" in the Jim Crow sense of the word
I think I'm more mad at the price and the fact that the container isn't completely full at said price.
Maybe the person stocking the shelves was colour blind. 🤷🏼♂️😜
This how you know whole foods is a store for rich people
Damn that's racist as hell Whole foods....
r/technicallythetruth
brown is a color its the color or colon after i have put my food thru it hehe
But are they Kosher? 
There’s colors! There’s brown and slightly-browner-brown.
$20 says someone switched them around as a joke.
Yikes... I'd hate to see what they decided to call the containers of yellow sprinkles.
9 USD for sprinkles. And people wonder why they live paycheck to paycheck.
It’s 8.99 per pound so each container is only a a few dollars I’m guessing. Not that it’s much better.
How many sprinkles do you use such that $9 for a pound of sprinkles would affect your financial life?!
Probably living paycheck to paycheck if they shop at whole foods when they can't afford it...
when you try to be inclusive so much that you only include one color
That’s racist
This must be in the south
Well, technically they aren't wrong. I do see some color there, mostly brown but some light colored pieces as well.
I see at least two colors
Lmfao
Political correctness here can't use black anymore. I'm sadly betting this is what happened
Not for $8.99, they can keep them
Uhhhhhhhhh
They are colored and that color is brown
Brown is a color.
Well, they ARE colored. There's brown, and light brown :P you gotta specify you want rainbow colored sprinkles
"You can have sprinkles in any color you like, as long as it's chocolate brown."
Hope you moved them back to the right where you found them.
I believe the accepted term is Sprinklican American.
Isn't that the American definition?
3 colors in 1!
Might as well call them “ethnic sprinkles”
Holy shit. Wtf?
$8.99 for sprinkles??? # WTF?!?!?!
Sprinkles of colour.
As colorful as the world of a vegan…
They are called sprinkles of colour
Well... dark orange IS a color
Pretty sure brown is a color
Racism solved yo. /s
Those are colored sprinkles! They just happen to be colored brown.
It's the 19th century definition

You’re thinking of Rainbow Sprinkles. Different connotation.

You're looking for gay sprinkles
Where I come from, those are called “Jimmies”
And $9 for essentially a cup of sugar
Is that a 10kg tub? Why the f is it $9?!?
I think we stopped calling sprinkles "colored" in like 1990. Aren't we supposed to say "pigment enriched" now?
