    The pronunciation guide says Pou-teen. So I'm confused, which is it?

    As a french Canadian, it is definitely Pou-tin.

    Tastes of Canada --- Timbits ( Tim Hortons ) and Poutine ( any chip wagon on a cold winter day ). Not that healthy but sometime you just have to indulge ...

    Also, any of the following chocolate treats: Coffee Crisp, Aero, Smarties, Mr. Big, Jersey Milk

    Please be careful what you say about Tim Hortons and their coffee and Tim Bits around Canadians. I complained that Timmies coffee was rank on the their facebook page once, because it is rank. I got death threats.

    Canadians don't play around when it comes to Timmies coffee.

    Don't forget the Ketchup chips, All dressed chips and the Nanaimo bars. I also highly recommend smoked meat sandwiches from Montreal. And coming from a vegetarian, that's quite the recommendation.

    I've never heard of Timbits. But which would you say and why?

    Donut holes or Timbits?

    I've never heard of Timbits before this thread. Seems it is specific to one Canadian chain store.
    I would say doughnut holes because that is what they are and always have been. If I were ordering some at a store that called them powdered dough comets I would call them powdere dough comets while I was there.
    I prefer doughnut vs donut for spelling.

    I don't call all hamburgers Whoppers or all soda's Coke.

    Tim bits are great. Beaver tails are transcendent.

    I live in the US and we have Tim Hortons all over the place! My kids ask for Tim Bits all the time.

    Wait... some people call all hamburgers "Whoppers?"
