There’s no time for waffle-coning — you must pick a side. Do you take sprinkles on your ice cream, or not? And no, you can’t answer “sometimes,” because this is war. There’s no “sometimes” in war, people. Twitter is currently ablaze with a debate about whether sprinkles on ice cream is an abomination, and we’re currently drafting strong tweets to bring an end to this argument.
Unlike most battles, the first shot was fired unknowingly. Following its daily routine, the Twitter account @ItsFoodPorn tweeted out a photo compilation of some truly beautiful ice cream cones with rainbow sprinkles. Classic food porn, if you ask us.
However, @ItsFoodPorn had no idea that it had just stirred a massive pot of ice cream drama. Another Twitter user, @YoYoggii, retweeted the photo and shadily commented, “when are we going to start being honest on how trash sprinkles really are?”
The gauntlet had been thrown and the war began.
Listen, we usually try to be as unbiased as possible when it comes to internet fights. But this one hit too close to home. In our *humble* opinion, if you’re not eating an ice cream cone with sprinkles, you’re not even really eating ice cream cone. The sprinkles are the much-needed crunch before the cone, you dig?
Thankfully, other sprinkle-freaks charged forth, defending our rainbow comrades.
If you don’t like sprinkles it’s cause ya childhood sucked don’t @ me

I absolutely love sprinkles. I even eat them raw as a snack. Call it an addiction 🤷🏾♂️ pic.twitter.com/1M6JnSiq4S

Okay, @Marzzz_, we love you and appreciate the support — but back off about the cone.
And then there are “the others.” We respectfully agree to disagree with your sprinkles comments.
Seriously. What is their purpose?

There’s no end to this war in sight. Ice cream eaters on either side are stuck in their ways, and that’s okay. Let’s shake hands, grab a soft serve (with or without sprinkles), and hug it out. And for the love of all that is chocolate and vanilla, let’s not even bring up the sprinkles versus jimmies argument. Good day.
