I would hear "jimmies" every so often, but again, like drinking fountain, if you say "sprinkles" people will know what you're talking about.
I actually don't know many people, even those born and raised in Boston, who have a strong Boston accent. A few who were born in Southie have it, but other than that most Bostonians have a New England accent.
To be honest, I think there are Rhode Islanders with a stronger accent than most native Bostonians.
ETA: I say this as a New Englander who pronounces "quarter" like "quahter."
