This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Public service announcement, doughnut holes are called Timbits in Canada.

No they're not. At Tim Horton's their special branded version are called "Timbits", but everyone knows the term "doughnut holes" and unless they're specifically talking about the kind from Tim Horton's they won't use that term.

Um, actually you're wrong. It's the same phenomenon as kleenex. Every Canadian refers to them as timbits. Not doughnut holes.

Is it a regional thing? Like Southern US folks calling all fizzy soda pop drinks regardless of brand "Coke"
