Thumbs up What Makes "Timbits" Sooo addictive?

Sittin' here in dreary old blighty remembering our trips to Ontario. and thinkin' god i wish there was a Tim's nearby to get a coffee and some timbits.

The kids like the little jammie ones. but i'd eat them all, and if there's no timbits those choc chip cookies.

What's your favorite??

Lack of taste buds I guess - for me that are way too sugar coated. Now the doughnuts - they're a different matter

Toss up between a Boston Cream or Canadian Maple - might just have to nip out and get a couple

I believe its because of the cocaine they sprinkle over them.

It's a side effective of the brain damage caused by the boredom as you wait in the never ending queue to be served.

Watch out for the hydrogenated vegetable oils. Slightly slower than being run over by a train but just as certain.

Trouble with "Timmies" is that the coffee (correction, brown water) just isn't strong enough. Starbucks just about makes it. Second cup is a close second (no pun intended).

I'm not complaining - I just make my own.

Ccccccaffeine addddict, eh?

Damn you! I thought of that but hesitated.

Seriously though - it is the Class A narcotics that make them soooo moreish. I especially like the ones with the little acid tabs on top. Makes my day pass in a trippy kinda way.

I can stop going to Tim's anytime I like - well, once I've exhausted the $100 credit I just put on my new Tim Horton's Card!

I love the French Vanilla, and the Maple Pecan Danish - as for the Tim Bits, not so much.

The only good thing I have found in Tim Hortens is the little puffs of yum other wise known as honey cruller timbits.

Just melt in the mouth and so light they must be calorie free?

10 at a time is enough for me and I have only ever ordered them twice - don't go into timmies unless I have to!

Thats wishful thinking - if they are that nice then it must be double calories!!! :curse:

Has anyone got access to a Canadian Weight Watchers site to check points???? Probably a whole days!

Personally, I love Ice Capp and any doughnuts and Timbits!!!
