Ramble of the Day
I did not expect to ask myself yesterday what the difference between American and British sprinkles were, but an ordeal at a bakery in Leeds meant begged the question.
this bakery in leeds is having an absolute mare because someone reported them over using illegal sprinkles and it’s just so fucking funny to me pic.twitter.com/pvljZUERl4

This set of screenshots is genuinely amusing, despite the fact that I feel very bad for Get Baked. There are just a lot of small, innocently funny moments in this journey, though. Some of the things I laughed or chuckled at as I read:
- Having the context of what Get Baked sells makes all the difference when the writer(s) mention Bruce. It’s easy to assume Bruce is a dessert, but seeing it without the context is hilarious.
- I completely understand the concept of having illegal sprinkles, but it is funny to classify sprinkles as unlawful.
- This is less so a commentary on the funny aspects of this series of posts, but I am genuine when I say I am interested in the discourse of British v. American sprinkles. I never thought about possible differences in sprinkles, and now I’m curious. (I did a quick Google search and have found little on the topic so far.)
- Again, maybe less funny, but it feels wild to me to report someone for illegal sprinkles. It seems a little bit mean-spirited.
It made me curious about the Get Baked products that featured sprinkles once upon a time, and I found a picture of the Birthday Bruce. It looks delightful, honestly.
I left myself a note during yesterday’s Hoddle to consider not rambling about Popeyes so I wouldn’t get hungry. I may need to extend this warning to cakes, because I wish I could have a bite of that cake.
tl;dr: There’s a bakery in Leeds that was using illegal sprinkles.
