Sprinkles
The limit does not exist!
Anything your putting sprinkles on most definitely deserves more.
Hot Sauce
This one is strictly personal preference.
Some like it HOT, while others can’t handle the heat.
Unless you’e an onion-hater, cooked onions are so delicious there can never be too much!
Half of it remains stuck to the teaspoon.
Start with a squeeze or two, then taste and adjust as needed.
Salad Dressing
Similar to hot sauce, this one is more of a personal preference.
Some like their lettuce doused in dressing while others prefer it on the side.
To each their own!
