If you like Timbits or other Tim Hortons products then I suggest you don't read the attached and continue to live in blissful ignorance.

Thanks, will do.

There is a reason I was a lythe 200lbs when I arrived, and a comfy winter immune 230lbs now.


Im not sure whether to blame (sue?) Tim Hortens, A&W, John Labatt, or the fact I have small kids now so dont have time to exercise as much as I used to.

I feel your pain. I too was around 200lbs (although I think it would be a stretch to describe me as lithe Since moving to Newfoundland I've been doing my best to fit in with unfortunate demographic of Newfoundlanders as Canada's fatties. The resultant toll on my chloresterol levels has recently lead to some stern words from my Doc & I'm attempting to diet. So no Tim bits or anything else for me from now on!

I see they don't list a double double!!!

When we first came here Mr Y-C-D used to buy then until one day I was at the drive-thru and actually saw the bucketload of sugar that goes into one cup - we ain't talking just 2 wee teaspoons either - now its 'twin' (sweetener) for him.

Me - I like plain coffee with double cream (and try to avoid the cakes - my success varies )

I haven't become addicted, but actually drink more coffee at home than I used to. Still love a large mug of good strong Tetley tea every morning though

I just finished their chicken club for lunch. twas ok.

Tim Bits should be consumed in moderation. Otherwise you are on the super highway travelling toward obesity / obesity / stroke / heart attack / early death.

For those in blissful ignorance in the UK, I have seen at leat one Timmy's franchise in Blighty. True to form the prices made me almost have a heart attack. Or was that the TimBits?

Carry on.
