Some Reasons Why Timmy's is Quintessentially Canadian:** Sure, the menus has diversified over the years, but really, It's still all about the donut....whichever one is your fave: The Yeast donut, The Cake donut, the Dipped donut or the Cream-filled donut. (And the Krullers! Don't even get me started!)
** It's warm stuff to eat and drink when you are cold. Well, the coffee and the soup are. I guess the donuts aren't hot or cold, they're just plain sweet. However, I think metabolizing sugar raises your body temperature and makes you warm as a result. So therefore, all Tim Horton's offerings are suitable given the cold climate that persists in most of Canada during a good part of the year. (Sorry...apologies for that last bit! A wee bit nerdy and just far too bloggy. Won't happen again.)
** A coffee with two creams and two sugars is called a Double-Double here.
** The donut holes are sold in boxes as Timbits, and are derigeur at any potluck function.
** Tim Horton was a well-known Ontario hockey player who started in the restaurant business in the 60's.
** You can plan a trip across the nation and basically hop from one Tim Horton's to another for all your meals. (Canada is a massive country, so this means there are a lot of Tim Horton's!)
** You just have to love any place that is also called "Timmy Ho-Ho's"
