They're DONUT HOLES
(lemmy.world)
To be honest, they should be called "Donut Plugs"
Mouth beads
Donut bungs.
Donut swarf.
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.
Show a Canadian this picture, ask them what it is, and you will get a 99.9% answer of Tim bits.
You may be technically correct, but you're wrong. Lol.

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.

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.

Or all hook and loop, velcro.
Or all cotton swabs, q-tips.
Or all face tissues, kleenex.
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.
Yeah that’s stupid that’d be like calling printable camera film a Polaroid. NO ONE would EVER do that!!!
Let me photoshop this picture of a kleenex to look like it's stuck to a velcro strip...
Or like calling all facial tissue "kleenex"

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...

Timbits. even if they are not form Timmy's
Doughnut balls
We all know the holes are sent to Valhalla.
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.
in French: pets de nonne (nun's farts)
France really is doing it to itself
Beetus
I call them dough nuts.
I just call them type II diabetes
In Japan they’re just doughnut balls. Mister Donut calls them “pops.”
Bread Berries
Malasadadas
Benedict Cumberbatches
Fritule.
Am I the only one that finds the whole "fake British words" genre of meme painfully unfunny?
