merc@sh.itjust.works 11 months agoNo they’re not. At Tim Horton’s their special branded version are called “Timbits”, but everyone knows the term “doughnut holes” and unless they’re specifically talking about the kind from Tim Horton’s they won’t use that term.

Um, actually you’re wrong. It’s the same phenomenon as kleenex. Every Canadian refers to them as timbits. Not doughnut holes.

Is it a regional thing? Like Southern US folks calling all fizzy soda pop drinks regardless of brand “Coke”
beejboytyson@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It’s like kleenex, Tim’s brought them around so everyone just refers to them as tidbits. I didn’t even know what a doughnut hole was till my friend from New York told me.

Consider that your experience is not universal to all Canadians.
(Good news, mine isn’t either.)
Around here, people were baking donut holes before Tim Hortons was a thing, we called them “Trous de beignes” which is just french for doughnut holes.
Now, I imagine there are places where that isn’t the case, like whatever parts you’re from.
And no, neither of us should post a photo of our Canadian passport or a video of our dead grandma mentioning them.
I’m not about to post PII online and we weren’t filming ourselves doing random shit before smart phones.
