Shrinking Tim Horton's Donuts

[tjthemanto]

These days if you take 2 small bites the donut is gone.

The first bite is half the donut ( semi circle ) and the second bite is the remaining semi circle and nothing in your hand after that ..literally less than 10 seconds or less to finish it

Yup..its like eating soggy stale fried sugar dough with a hole in it ..and later on eating those holes as Tim Bits ..he he he

I grew up with Dunkin Donuts, where they are called donut holes. I grew up thinking they literally came from the hole in the donut. I was like an adult before I figured it out! LOL

i'm also a fan of the safeway donut.. and i think they are baked fresh in the store.. or atleast the apple fritters are because none of them look alike, sometimes they are MASSIVE and sometimes they are on the small side, occasionally the donuts look a bit wonky (like a kid tried to make donuts for the first time lol)

I get offered free Timbits for my pup pretty regularly.

Yes, that's true. We have gone through the drive through before with the dog in the back of the car and they have given us a free timbit for him. (They offered, we didn't ask)
Not sure if they still do this as we haven't been there with him in a while.

I have gotten in the habit of ordering 2-3 chocolate glazed timbits rather than a whole Walnut Crunch because it's cheaper and I only want 1/2 or 3/4 of a doughnut anyway.

The last time I ordered 2 timbits the counter girl asked me, Are these for your dog?

I don't have a dog, they're for me, never had any idea I was ordering off the dog food menu

Next time say yes...Don't they give them to you for free for your dog?

There are certain locations of Tim's that I avoid as it takes for ever to get your order and get it right. Luckily those close to me are awesome usually it is the morning staff that are quick and super efficient.

Tim's here where I live has the grossest coffee ever...the ad should be always burned.....I used to love the donuts.....even the chocolate topping isn't the same, actually the full cakes Tim's used to sell like Black Forest were good too

When we were kids my mom would cut the donut in half and share it with us the apple fritters were that big.

This happened a while back, and came with a price increase, too.
They still make walnut crunches here, but they are really small - I used to just eat just half! Plus, fewer walnuts. Robin's are now better, but there are fewer locations here.

Chocolate Glazed Double Chocolate Old Fashion Plain Old Fashion Glazed Sour Cream Plain Strawberry Vanilla Strawberry

Boston Cream Canadian Maple Sour Cream Glazed Honey Cruller Blueberry Walnut Crunch

The Walnut Crunch is being discontinued!!!

I guess walnuts are expensive so maybe they are getting rid of that ..the crowd favourite

Are all the donuts same price in Tim's ? ..or do they charge extra for certain donuts ? ..the way they charge extra for certain so called speciality bagels

How much is a single donut thesedays anyways at Tim's ? I think I paid 85 cents or something like that the last time, but this is long back..so probably its a dollar now

I have 3 bucks left on my Tim's GC .. so I think I will get 3 Walnut crunch donuts before they get discontinued ..he he he

OY! So sad about the walnut crunch - and they aren't telling yet all the items which will be gone.
Husband's fave is the dutchie, and he was told a few weeks ago at Tim's that they aren't making it any more. The article linked above just mentions the timbit one.

So Robin's will get my business - but I still have lots of $ on Tim's cards to use up - a few crullers and boxes of Timbits, I guess.



Ah, I'm remembering how wonderful they used to be..... sigh!

Good riddance Dutchie! My fondest memory of a Dutchie timbit was someone was teasing me about something at work (I forget once now). He was bald. The Dutchie timbit bounced nicely off his head!

As for the Walnut Crunch, I used to like these...although I haven't had one for a couple years, I seem to recall the last time I had one it wasn't as tasty as my memory told me it should be.

[Venuila]

Yeah, I've noticed it in pretty much everything too. Quaker Dipps used to be WAY bigger. Now they are tiny!!!! I bought a box a little while ago and thought maybe I had a faulty box but nope lol. They are just itty bitty now. >.<
