Right??
Nothing silly about this.
I'm at a point in my life when I just do shit that makes me happy if the opportunity arises. Life is hectic and tiring, so if I can give myself a little joy here and there, I'm all over it.
Fun fact: sprinkles are mostly food-grade wax and all the same color. They donāt taste different. They are artificially colored to look like rainbow or āchocolateā but they are all basically just sugar-wax.

That serving of yogurt has 17g of sugar, whereas those sprinkles have maybe 5. If there's a dopamine rush happening, it isn't because of the sprinkles.
Iām 19 but never really ate sprinkles apart from at parties. Last month or so when buying waffles and ice cream, I thought to myself, why not get some sprinkles too? Since then Iāve probably been eating some weekly and just canāt skip/forget them whenever I get sweets, familyās been laughing/teasing me each time theyāve spotted me with them but who cares because I fucking love sprinkles. Itās truly the little things that make life enjoyable.
I love sprinkles because they are just something nice. They don't change the flavor, they don't really do anything. They are only there to make life better. Not many things like that in the world.
Then I highly recommend you trying the Dutch version of spindles, you eat on toast and butter called "Hagelslag" my world is a better one since I found it.
My mom used to buy us these in packs when we were little. The yogurts had this clear top with sprinkles in it and I think the flavors were blue and pink HHaha.
This is a nostalgic post. Thanks OP.
I came here to say this, didnāt there used to be a yogurt that came with sprinkles? I specifically remember the texture, and the colors that would rainbow the gurt.
Omg this is so cute. Haha Iām 35 and rainbow sprinkles genuinely make me so happy. Im going to the store to pick some up now so I can brighten up this rainy day haha
Plastic where? In the sprinkles? Are you maybe confusing that for the food grade *wax* they use to make the sprinkles or is there some plastic in yogurt scandal that I missed.
It's not silly, it's nice. My first wife used to get such a kick about putting a little dill on her hard boiled eggs for lunch... EVERYDAY it would make her giggle in the kitchen and I loved that innocence. We all need it
Hey, I'm 22 and found out you can scoop ice-cream onto a cookie and get another cookie for a cookie sandwich in college and thought that was amazing lol
Oh I will definitely add this to my routineāmy stomach is sensitive in the mornings so I canāt eat anything heavy and yogurt is perfectā¦but I have sensory issues so some days I just canāt eat it. Sprinkles would be the PERFECT solution bc I love sprinkles + I wouldnāt have the sensory aversion to yogurt!! Thank you for this idea!!
And! If you want to be really fancy, you can get seasonal sprinkles. We're going grocery shopping tomorrow and I am absolutely going to look for Halloween ones š
Something that neurodivergent people (people with disorders such as OCD, ADHD, Autism, etc) experience where foods with certain textures can become repulsive to them and make them feel physically sick regardless of taste. I have ADHD and the texture of lettuce and raw tomato, especially together, make me gag. I hope that helps!
I'm baffled. Why do people think this tiny yoghurt is going to give you diabetes. That's a fairly normal amount of sugar, unless you are eating this kind of stuff ALL day and nothing else.
This yogurt has already 17g of sugar.
The added sprinkles are maybe 3-5g?
Recommended amount of sugar for a normal dude is below 50g daily.
This meal contains \~45% of recommended sugar per day while only having \~6% of a normal dudes kcal intake.
No hate, but i hate the fact that all yogurts all full of sugar ;(
I think they are also overreacting to the sprinkles which are nothing but sugar and wax. I even saw someone try and claim there were microplastics involved in this picture somehow as if glitter was added. People really don't understand their food....
I just had my braces tightened yesterday, and it just so happens Iām not a big fan of yogurt, one of my only options at the moment. This actually might encourage me to eat it lol
Oof been there! I had braces twice for a total of around 8 or 9 years. Yogurt, smoothies, tomato soup... I think at one point, I was putting chicken noodle soup in a blender, just so I wouldn't have to worry about chunks š
At least in the UK, there used to be a yogurt that came with sprinkles to mix in. So not all that silly at all (and now I find myself missing them, used to have them as a kid but haven't seen them in a while. Granted not that I've looked or really thought of them at all in a while)
How to make something healthy, less healthy; add sprinkles! Itāll make you smile while negative the positive step you were taking at prolonging your life. Smile about it! Sprinkles!
Iām in my mid thirties, there used to be a yogurt Iād eat growing up that had sprinkles with it and it was the best thing ever. Iād love to eat it again but forgot what it was. You do you OP, life is too short to not add sprinkles when wanted.
My mom used to pack my lunch in elementary school. Her signature dish was yogurt in a Tupperware container with green sprinkles. Thanks for the memory!
Ah yes, because adding sprinkles to yogurt is going to completely ruin my health. I am doomed, woe is me, etc. Thank you random jackass on the "made me smile" subreddit for pointing out that a small action that makes me happy is actually terrible and therefore I should do nothing to bring myself joy and instead wallow in the pit of despair for all of eternity.
/sarcasm
Calm your farm bra, Reiks sort of had a point. I mean, you do you, but adding that extra sugar isnāt exactly helpful for you heath wise- apparently Yogurt has a heap of sugar in them as well, x that by 5-7 days a weekā¦ soā¦ yeah.
Though honestly, this is Reddit, and you put up a post about adding coloured hardened sugar to your breakfast food- what did you expect? Reddit is probably one of the most toxic platforms out there. No oneās gonna sugar coat it for you, and you made this post public, so you canāt get angry at people spitting out facts.
Maybe you need to add more sprinkles thoughā¦ you still seem rather bitter. š¤
Oh but if you [put sprinkles on toast it's European and therefore ok,](https://www.thespruceeats.com/hagelslag-history-varieties-and-uses-1128744) I get it
Just picture that as white, crystalized sugar with a little dairy, because that's what it is. Remember when you were a kid and said you were going to eat ice cream for breakfast?
This amount of Sprinkles are not going to give someone diabetes, geez jerks all over the place on Reddit, even in the subs that are supposed to be for positivity
Youāre upset because other people dont enjoy sugary unhealthy breakfasts like you do? Sorry not everyone is going to asspat your life choices and agree
This DOES make me smile. Iām 30 and I sleep with a 3ā long, rainbow tie dye plush unicorn. Itās all about keeping up with the fun little things to cut through the adulthood crap
I see you're a man of culture

Hemp hearts are good too! I've never eaten chia seeds - I know they're healthy but something about the gel just rubs me the wrong way lol
This joke was easy to digest
Ha ha good one
of course, the sugar will give a big dopamine spike.
All hail the sugar rush. It makes my man titties juggle with joy!

If pouring sprinkles on yogurt is someoneās way of smelling the roses in life then dammit sprinkle away.
I'd always heard "don't take life too seriously, none of us get out alive".

Thank you! I have been trying to remember the name of the yogurt with sprinkles! I wish I had an award to give you.
Yes!!! Love that 90s childhood.
Yocrunch?
Omg this is so cute. Haha Iām 35 and rainbow sprinkles genuinely make me so happy. Im going to the store to pick some up now so I can brighten up this rainy day haha
I'm gonna be 35 at the end of the month, my friend. Sprinkles and joy know no age!
Happy early birthday
That is amazing! happy birthday month, my sprinkle friend š
55 and having more fun every day! š
You should see a Dutch breakfast. They cover bread and butter with this stuff.... at least they did when I was a kid 50 years ago. Loved it š
We still do yes. Chocolate. Fruity. Anise. So many flavors.
Excellent. This is what I need to know today.
Based on countries food review channels on YT, they still do.
Still love it!
Anyone remember those yogurts from the 90s that came with sprinkles?
Immediately thought of this. Ate those so so many times as a kid.
Yes, dannon sprinklins' . Loved these!!
I put mini M&Ms in mine and Iām over 50! š
Way to find joy in the little things!
I put chia seeds in mine and smile for a few days lol
r/mademediabetic
Damnit, i thought it was real
Same also hey we both have the same horse mask
Nice. Horseface for the win!
On the tougher days, add *yogurt* to your *sprinkles!* :D
BRILLIANT!!
When ~25% sugar is not enough
Itās not silly. You are letting your inner child feel that happiness. Enjoy It dude
Breakfast of champions...plastic and sugar!
I love microplastics
mmmmā¦ plastic.
Plastic where? In the sprinkles? Are you maybe confusing that for the food grade *wax* they use to make the sprinkles or is there some plastic in yogurt scandal that I missed.
The tub maybe?
My favorite part of the yogurt! That crunchy outer shell!
It's a bit tough to get down sometimes, but so worth it!
Yo-gurt friend!! Its the simple pleasures and little things that make life worth living
So what if itās silly? If a little whimsy in your morning makes you happy then more power to you.
I remember when I learned you can buy sprinkles at the store and add them to ice cream at home. My little kid mind was BLOWN.
It's not silly, it's nice. My first wife used to get such a kick about putting a little dill on her hard boiled eggs for lunch... EVERYDAY it would make her giggle in the kitchen and I loved that innocence. We all need it
Sprinkles are a food group in my house š
Sprinkles are for winners
This is adorable. keep being you, OP
looks good, how does it taste
Great! These sprinkles don't really add much flavor. I do have some that are cookies & cream flavored though, those are pretty fun
I'm definitely going to start doing this.
Hey, I'm 22 and found out you can scoop ice-cream onto a cookie and get another cookie for a cookie sandwich in college and thought that was amazing lol
You've never heard of an ice cream sandwich before?!
![gif](giphy|QmJ37LkCxnStEuztLG|downsized)
That's the cutest thing! I love you op
I do this but with chocolate chips! Whatever gets you through the day right?
this is a great idea! sprinkles are relatively low cal and would help with texture imo i already eat yogurt but this might be something fun
Mmm candy for breakfast. So healthy.
The best thing about being a grown-up is getting to do whatever the heck we want!
EXACTLY!!! š
I like Grape nuts in my yogurt. Healthy and full of fiber. I like crunch when I eat something mushy.
I used to do grape nut ohs, but they discontinued them years ago and it made me sad
Grape nuts on their own are horrid. But mixed it with something not so bad. The folks that eat them mushy are crazy, lol.
Not silly , just fucking awesome and I too will add sprinkles to my porridge tomorrow though saying it out loud doesnāt sound so good but yeh go you
I sometimes put sprinkles on my oatmeal. It uh. turns really funny colors because the heat of the oatmeal melts the sprinkles š
Sold
ājarvis,im low on karmaā
Oh I will definitely add this to my routineāmy stomach is sensitive in the mornings so I canāt eat anything heavy and yogurt is perfectā¦but I have sensory issues so some days I just canāt eat it. Sprinkles would be the PERFECT solution bc I love sprinkles + I wouldnāt have the sensory aversion to yogurt!! Thank you for this idea!!
And! If you want to be really fancy, you can get seasonal sprinkles. We're going grocery shopping tomorrow and I am absolutely going to look for Halloween ones š
My grocery has these tubs that look like a collection of 15 or 20 different kinds and colors of sprinkles, my kid loves them the most.
I have one cabinet layer with only various sprinkles and toppings š
Uhm what is sensory aversion?
Something that neurodivergent people (people with disorders such as OCD, ADHD, Autism, etc) experience where foods with certain textures can become repulsive to them and make them feel physically sick regardless of taste. I have ADHD and the texture of lettuce and raw tomato, especially together, make me gag. I hope that helps!
Itās not exclusive to neurodivergent people but most common them anyways

ugh...texture differences...can't deal...same reason I hate chocolate chips in my ice cream.
Ah yes, rainbow rat droppings š
Game changer
add it to my spam
Ohhh I feel you my manā¦. You have a great taste!
It's not stupid if it makes you happy
Damn, I need to try this.
Mmm yami!
It's not silly, it's adorable. Never stop
Itās the little things in life that make one happy. Iām glad this is one of those things for you :)
I love this!
That actually sounds kinda good.
Thatās pretty awesome mate!š„°āØ
That yogurt is trash. I had it at my school a many times and I regret every bite.
9 out of 10 dentists like this.
Im gonna buy some sprinkles tomorrow. Maybe they will help cheer me up.
I hope so! Buy yourself a silly hat while you're at it. It's hard not to smile while wearing a silly hat š„³
That is just the sugar rush.
How does that not make you sick?
So gross but somehow adorable. Well played.
Wasnt there a yogurt when i was young that came with sprinkles in a separate container?
Anyone else remember those yogurts in the 90s that came with sprinkles to add?
This is so cute, I hope it made you smile as much as I did seeing this!
Why is this cute lmao
Why is it so cute š„°
Hey, whatever makes you happy :) I find this subreddit corny at first but this actually made me smile.
I should start doing this. I need more sprinkles in my life.
I just had my braces tightened yesterday, and it just so happens Iām not a big fan of yogurt, one of my only options at the moment. This actually might encourage me to eat it lol

Next you will do what I do: create a smile with choc on top š
I never understood sprinkles. Itās just colored wax and vegetable oil. No flavor.
It's a colorful crunch ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ
If it makes you happy, sprinkle away.
My five year old does this, too!
omfg i know i will get downvotes for this but this post is trash and this sub has gone to shit
Fucking gross
*Slaps knee* back in my day we had Trix yogurt and it came with sprinkles on the side that you poured in.
My mom used to pack my lunch in elementary school. Her signature dish was yogurt in a Tupperware container with green sprinkles. Thanks for the memory!
Aren't sprinkles banned in many countries now due to the food color causing cancer? Sorry to be that person lol
How are your sprinkles made? Bathed in gamma radiation?
Just uranium shavings like everyone else
The uranium really adds a nice crunch!
Won't be smiling when you get diabeetus.
