It's important to know that Timbits are named after a guy named Tim who died in a car crash.

So both tasty and tasteful, then? (Sorry.)

I did actually go to a Tim Hortons once (on my way to Kitchener-Waterloo), but at the time I wasn't on the lookout for Timbits. Oh well.

I believe the most Canadian place in London is Canada Water

I don't know much about Canada Water, except that it has the ugliest library I have ever seen.

My family loves Tim Hortons. They're pretty limited in the states though and the only ones around are ones that are too far out to bother with unless we're already going on a road trip to that area.

I think what happened is they WERE a canadian chain and then they got bought out by the Wendy's corporation? I've often seen them as combination Tim Hortons/Wendys. I have also usually seen people avoid the Wendys side of the building for the Tim Hortons side.

Timbits are actually perfectly fine but all other aspects of Tim Hortons are basically awful. Don't worry! There is still some hope from our great land.

... But stop buying gas station doughnuts dude that shit is nasty.

I LOVE A Baker's Wife and Sarah Jane's, but I am lazy (I don't drive). And sometimes I just want a strange pineapple-filled bismark for less than a dollar.

Is maple candy popular in Canada? It should be, since that shit's deeeeelicious.

I have a triceratops with a moving jaw that came from a kinder egg and a fuzzy rhino. Which, yeah, probably beats maple candy. I think with maple stuff, the more processed and the further removed from the tree it gets, the less amazing it is, and a little bit goes a very long way.

... Is this just the general Canada thread now?

(kal-elk, your spooky Halloween name makes me feel like I'm back in my hometown, which is appropriately terrifying)

Kinder Eggs are banned from the USA because despite being marketed for small children, the toys in them are small enough to be choking hazards. This is commonly misinterpreted as them being banned because Americans are too dumb to not stuff the entire egg in their mouths and choke on the plastic capsule.
