Rice Krispie Quandary

**Raheny Red** · 18/08/2006, 1:23 PM

Never heard the phrase "Rice Krispie Bun" in my life! Definitely a Cake.

I think this is probably a lot to do with how old people are,and heir geographical location.

I know people in Limerick of my age (35+) all call them buns...

Cakes are big buns are small and my ma always made rice crispy buns and never rice crispy cakes. Therefore they are buns.

My geographical age profile is thus - 30 yrs old, grew up in Navan.

Buns obviously. 26 grew up in Dublin if this is considered important.

Your s is cake?

Weird.

Anyway we've been talking here at work and decided that only English people and west brits call Buns "cakes".

**steno** · 18/08/2006, 6:16 PM

Buns always and forever and I'm 24

cakes just sound wrong!

A bun is confectionery & you do not bake rice krispie cakes.

**DmanDmythDledge** · 18/08/2006, 7:37 PM

F***ing jackeen!!!!

If age and location are important, than I (who say bun) am 26, grew up in Dublin (though from Kerry originally) but with a strong Tipp background.

Any sort of trend developing there?

*loses patience*

There's no need for profiling of the answers - it's simple. Nineteen of us are right and ten of us are wrong.

(22, Dublin incidentally)

Is it as clear as a rural-urban divide.

Urbanistes have cakes & boggers have buns

**dahamsta** · 19/08/2006, 12:35 PM

I think it's more of a social divide pete. I can't decide whether buns or cakes or more pretentious though. I'm leaning towards buns at the moment, but then I really like buns. And cakes.

UPDATE: My gf agrees with pete, although she's brought it down a level -- "culshies call cakes buns".

So there you have it bun-lovers: you're all culshies.
