In Canada Tim Hortons won a linguistic victory. These are Tim Bits
Love eating Tim's bits
Can confirm. I acknowledge that “donut holes” is valid, but my brain looks at this picture and says “oh, Timbits.”
American corporations love to divide and conquer
Timmies has been ass for years anyway, anyone who says different is just coping. Their coffee is dogwater, their donuts are overpriced trash, all of their food is overpriced and mid even at its best. The only thing they have going for them is their marketing that has turned canadians into sleeper agents that have a Pavlovian response to the phrase "double double"
my partner and I visited Canada last summer and went to Tim Horton's and I must say I agree with the coffee and food descriptions. I didn't try their donuts though.
I don't think I saw any of their advertising while we were there but I'm sure I wouldn't be immune
If you aren't canadian you might be immune, all their advertising relies on Canadian patriotism, it's literally just "Canada = Tim Hortons! Look at how Canadian™ we are! Real Canadians™ drink Tim Hortons^®^!" type shit, but I gotta admit it's worked for them so far. Tons of people have Tim's as their default coffee place just because the tim-doctrination runs deep.
Disclaimer: I do like an occasional Ice Cap
hell nah tim didnt invent donut holes
Kleenex didn't invent the tissue (I assume, I didn't Google it) but now it's basically a generic term. Same goes for timbits, people still call 'em timbits when they're from other places
Same with a weedeater. Nobody says "string trimmer".
idk i don’t call a tissue a kleenex either tho, or a soda a coke etc
Linguistics cares not for invention
