Hey, quick question.

[conuly]

What goes on top of a pretty please? Cherries? Whipped cream? Sprinkles? I started to ask for something the other day, and for the life of me I just couldn't remember!

Which was embarrassing. At least to me.

Help me out?

Traditionally a cherry goes on top, but additional toppings may be applied for effect depending on the magnitude of the request or the temperament of the requestee.

[steorra]

I've generally heard it with cherries.

[kyrielle]

Sugar or whipped cream, depending on the person. I think I've heard cherries occasionally. Sprinkles, never.

If it hasn't already been done, someone needs to make a dessert called a Pretty Please.

[ysobel]

Sugar, usually. Cherry is acceptable but not as standard (I can see myself saying it but the default is sugar).

[ncp.livejournal.com]

Sugar. Pretty please with sugar on top.

[invsagoth.livejournal.com]

It's always been pretty please with a cherry on top for me. :3

[janewilliams20.livejournal.com]

I'd put a cherry on top myself, but I expect there's regional variation.

[elenbarathi.livejournal.com]

Pretty please with sugar on top. :)

I'm another vote for "Pretty please with a cherry on top."

Cherry here.
