hundreds and thousands
Tiny candy decorations
Hundreds and thousands are tiny colorful sugar pellets used as a decorative topping for cakes, cookies, ice cream, and other sweets.
The term is primarily British and Australian; Americans typically call these sprinkles or jimmies.
The name refers to their abundance—you use so many that counting them would be impractical.
The children decorated their cupcakes with hundreds and thousands.
