  "story": "Sprinkles are small pieces of confectionery used as decoration. The long ones are called jimmies in parts of the United States, above all New England and Philadelphia; the tiny balls are nonpareils. Chocolate, maple, strawberry and vanilla icings are the standard dips, and the colour on a shop's sprinkles is one of the few things it chooses purely to look like itself.",
  "how": "Dip, lift, tilt to shed the excess, then straight into the tray of sprinkles before it sets.",
  "today": "A case of sprinkled donuts is the shop's shop window, which is why the bright ones sit at eye level."
