This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Thank you! Nobody I've pointed this out to seems to understand what an abomination cold butter on raw bread, with sprinkles is, I thought I was the crazy one.

It's a treasured tradition in Australia and New Zealand: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy_bread

This is why you people were expelled to the furthest possible distance.

The first time I ever heard of this was in the game Dinkum. That was when I discovered Australians apparently say "hundreds and thousands" to refer to what we call sprinkles. I appreciate most of our little differences but that one puzzles me.

100's and 1000's is specifically the spherical sprinkles. I don't know why. But it's totally acceptable to call them sprinkles too.

I know I'm weird, but thickly slathered cold butter on bread can be amazing.

It’s not for me…I’d faster do it with melted butter and toast if I were going to. But then again, I eat hot pepper soaked pineapple rings, so maybe I don’t deserve to judge anyone…
