Board 8 > Just had some Tim Hortons Timbits that people used to talk about

(+) Yeah! (+)

I knew these are just donut holes but I remember @GuessMyUserName talking about them so much that I decided long ago to get them if I ever went to Canada but after finding out they're just donut holes I decided that maybe I won't bother.

Well I'm in Vancouver and I decided to try an A&W restaurant since I saw they're way more common here than in the US so maybe their root beer is different. I think it tastes better because they use real sugar. So I thought maybe something is special about Timbits since people were raving about them here.

I love donuts and I say that Timbits are okay. Definitely a step up from the boxed stuff I usually eat but not any better than other fresh ones. I might get them again whenever I go back to Canada but I won't prioritize it. Nothing special, but they are enjoyable.

Ask me anything I guess?

They aren't anything special.

Did you get a coffee there too?

And before anyone asks about milk bags, I'm lactose intolerant so I did not have Timbits with milk bags nor will I have milk from any container on this trip.

Not really a coffee drinker and I still had my root beer anyway.

I'm more excited about the root beer than the Timbits and A&W exists at home.

Also the most interesting thing about my Timbits experience is that the box says that Canada is 150 y/o and I did not realize that. I came here at the perfect time.

an ice cap is what you want to get from Timmies. The only really good timbit is the sour cream glazed

when I was a kid and we had milk delivered, the 2L was delivered in a bag, but I haven't seen one since

I've lived in Canada most of my life and never seen bagged milk. I'm pretty sure it's only a thing in the east.

Timbits are for NERDZ

You got Timbits from a not Tim Horton's?

Bagged milk is common in Toronto but I don't really remember seeing it when I lived in Vancouver.

yeah I'm a lifelong ontarian with family roots out in the maritimes I'd visit occasionally -- we bag

I might try an Ice Cap. We'll see.

The box clearly says "Canada Celebrating 150 Years". From what I am reading after Googling it, it's in reference to Canada Day, which is often called Canada's birthday even though it's way more complicated than that. Still, I see 1867 a lot on shirts in gift shops.

not just any iced cap, you need a maple iced cap

not a fan of timbits

love the ice cap

bagged milk is in my blood

My friend needed to buy some food and took me to Costco. He also needed milk. I can say that not only did he not buy a bag of milk, I saw no milk bags at all, as he just got a regular old jug. I kinda feel disappointed.
