Origin
Rainbow sprinkles, also known as jimmies or hundreds and thousands, originated in the United States. They were invented in the late 19th century by an American confectioner named Thomas F. Keller. Keller created these colorful sugar decorations by using a machine to extrude sugar paste through small holes, resulting in thin, rod-shaped sprinkles. Originally, rainbow sprinkles were mostly used for decorating ice cream sundaes, cakes, and other desserts. Over time, they gained popularity worldwide and are now a common ingredient in various sweet treats.
