those kinda look like greek loukmas/Turkish lokmas
*doughnut, not do nut.
That there is a Timbit
Am I the only one that finds the whole “fake British words” genre of meme painfully unfunny?
Yes
You have to say snoggletarts out loud with a British accent.
Maybe if Brits would stop saying ridiculous things lol
You go enjoy your hushpuppies, elephant ears, bear claws, snickerdoodles and hootenannies.
Deez nut holes
In the UK these are called doughnuts.
The presence of a hole isnt a pre-requisite to being deemed a doughnut here.
Calling something that has zero holes a ‘donut hole’, will absolutely have a local refer to you as a doughnut tho…
But how do you differentiate between a doughnut ( o ) and a doughnut o. I’d be so pissed if I asked for a doughnut and someone handed me this tiny shit.
One without a hole is a doughnut. One with is a doughnut ring.
The nut in the word is to already show that it is in a nut shape. So it would be doughball and doughnut.
What part of the UK are they called doughballs? ive never heard them called that.
Only reference I can think of is Pizza express’ dough balls, but they’re a savoury dough ball rather than sweet like a doughnut.
I think you could even convince English people that “merry fizzlebombs” and “upsy stairsies” are some kind of regional slang. Might even get away with “breaddystack” or “rickedy-pop” if you play your cards right.
Munchkins. Idc if they aren’t from Dunkin’.
Tim bits is what we use in Canada
What? They’re donut holes, Timbits is only from Tim hortons, that’s a trademark name.
It would be like calling all breakfast sandwiches McMuffins dude.
I’ve never once heard anyone ever refer to them as anything other than “Timbits”, just as I’ve never heard anyone ask me to pass them a “facial tissue”, and I’ve never heard of “hook and loop fastener” shoes. The word got genericized.
That was because Tim’s was the only place, that’s since been changed a decade ago and hasn’t been the case since then.
It’s not a genericized term like Kleenex and escalator, sorry.
In every place I’ve been to in Canada and every to every Canadian I’ve known, yes it is.
Other places absolutely can’t advertise as Timbits, that’s a trademarked name.
Don’t make shit up dude.
I didn’t claim that. I don’t think you understand what people in this thread are saying.
Other companies can’t advertise their products as “Kleenex”, but that doesn’t stop most people from calling all facial tissues Kleenex.
Most Canadians call them Timbits.
In every place I’ve been to in Canada
Canada is already a place, what other “places” would you be referring to other than place (stores) like Tim Hortons, McDonalds, etc. in your comment?
Yes Canadians may incorrectly call them Tim Bits, but other places can’t since the trademark is owned by Tim Hortons. No need to lie that other places call it that when they can’t or they would get sued and easily lose dude….
It is in Canada. You show any Canadian the picture in this post, and they will tell you it’s a timbit.
Or all hook and loop, velcro.
Or all cotton swabs, q-tips.
Or all face tissues, kleenex.
There’s plenty of examples of trademark names being used generically. Coke, hoover, Jacuzzi
Bullshit, I’ve never directly asked my drug dealer for coke, we use code words.
Coincidentally my drug dealer’s code word for me is hoover
Which isn’t the case with donut holes, it used to be because Tim hortons was the only place, that’s stopped being changed over a decade ago.
I’m just happy that the meme is joking about Brits yet the only people arguing in the comments are Canadians
Yeah that’s stupid that’d be like calling printable camera film a Polaroid. NO ONE would EVER do that!!!
They’re called ‘timbits’ to honour the founder who died in a horrific car accident. All that was left of him were bits of Tim.
Let me photoshop this picture of a kleenex to look like it’s stuck to a velcro strip…
Google, xerox, velcro, escalator are all trademark names as well, but people use them in a general sense. Sometimes trademark names become so popular that they get used in a general way, I don’t know what’s confusing you, this is a fairly common phenomenon
If these were British, they’d be coated in granulated sugar and called doughnut… balls? Just tiny doughnuts? I can’t imagine someone wouldn’t want to put jam in the middle or dip them in chocolate.
Nah man, Brits would split them in half and spread a mixture of marmite and clotted cream on them.
Half of the population would call them “Yorkie balls” and the other would insist they’re just scones.
Timbits. even if they are not form Timmy’s
Tim Horton’s sucks now so they should always be “not from Timmy’s”
Dunkin Donuts called them Munchkins, so I sometimes call any donut roles Munchkins.
All my adhesive bandages are band-aids
in French: pets de nonne (nun’s farts)
In Japan they’re just doughnut balls. Mister Donut calls them “pops.”
Doughnut balls
We all know the holes are sent to Valhalla.
