For the past 19 years of my life; I've called these candy toppers "dot-dot thing-ies"!My ignorance gave my ex-housemate; Kylie a good giggle.
in 2004, She exclaimed with an eyebrow raised; "You don't know what 100's and 1000's are?!" It's what everyone calls them!" *everyone but me I guess...*Haha!
Kylie loved making fairy-bread sandwiches sliced neatly and stacked away in a tupperware to bring to parties and gatherings she often had with her girly friends. It was my first introduction to the famous fairy-bread; hard to believe...but true! As I watched her spread butter on white bread and shake colourful dots on top; I was anxious to steal a slice! too PRETTY!! so TEmptiNG! It was similar to eating buttered white bread sprinkled with crunchy bits of sugar- in a less boring and colourful manner of course :). For old time sake...I'll make myself a fairy-sandwich; as I reminiscence sweet thoughts of Kylie and my memories from the old apartment.
