If the other part is a dough nut, shouldn't these be dough bolts?
In Canada Tim Hortons won a linguistic victory. These are Tim Bits
Love eating Tim's bits
Can confirm. I acknowledge that “donut holes” is valid, but my brain looks at this picture and says “oh, Timbits.”
American corporations love to divide and conquer
Timmies has been ass for years anyway, anyone who says different is just coping. Their coffee is dogwater, their donuts are overpriced trash, all of their food is overpriced and mid even at its best. The only thing they have going for them is their marketing that has turned canadians into sleeper agents that have a Pavlovian response to the phrase "double double"
my partner and I visited Canada last summer and went to Tim Horton's and I must say I agree with the coffee and food descriptions. I didn't try their donuts though.
I don't think I saw any of their advertising while we were there but I'm sure I wouldn't be immune
If you aren't canadian you might be immune, all their advertising relies on Canadian patriotism, it's literally just "Canada = Tim Hortons! Look at how Canadian™ we are! Real Canadians™ drink Tim Hortons^®^!" type shit, but I gotta admit it's worked for them so far. Tons of people have Tim's as their default coffee place just because the tim-doctrination runs deep.

hell nah tim didnt invent donut holes
Kleenex didn't invent the tissue (I assume, I didn't Google it) but now it's basically a generic term. Same goes for timbits, people still call 'em timbits when they're from other places
Same with a weedeater. Nobody says "string trimmer".
idk i don’t call a tissue a kleenex either tho, or a soda a coke etc
Linguistics cares not for invention
Oh you mean [proprietary brand name]? Haha can you tell I'm from Canada just by how easily it is to market dumb shit to me?
It's actually the only thing i heard them called for most of my life and had never really considered how pathetic it is. The term donut hole is perfect and accurately describes the item!
Oh you mean [proprietary brand name]? Haha can you tell I'm from Canada just by how easily it is to market dumb shit to me?
This is done in the US as well, with a different brand name
I've never heard anyone call them "munchkins" as a generic term, personally
wait what are they in america? i've only ever heard them called donut holes
They're just donut holes as far as I know, but we have genericized trademarks like Kleenex, Jello, and Band-Aids. Depending on your region people will call soda Coke, etc etc
oh i see what you mean, yeah, totally
Oh hell yeah i love brand names that become ubiquitous phrases
You could also call them dobolts.
a dobolt would need to have a doscrew tip and dowrench head and be long enough to fit through the two dobjects that you're affixing dogether
Dostuds, pop a donut on either end
Germans out here munching on their Quarkbällchen
We don't have those in Australia. All we have is British food but even more stale
Well you should open a place that sells them and call them like "Toppy Drops" or some other weird ass shit.
That's a british name, australia would call them something like "friends (formerly [racial slur])"
We do have them here, named either as donut holes, unnamed samplers or as loukoumades (or the five other different ways to say it as you move further east from Greece, but loukoumades is definitely the most common)

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
That's not true, you also have hot dogs but served on sliced bread. And uhhhh bread with sprinkles
in Essex they is "Gary Glitter's Treacle-coated Bollocks" init.
Donuts are fun to make, but it is a time consuming and messy process from scratch. Most days you're better off doing the Chinese-American restaurant method and tossing some Pillsbury biscuits in some oil, tossing them in sugar afterwards.
Also a great technique for campfires.
Donuts make me go nuts
How about dough nuts?
I believe the proper term is "taste-icles"
Donut Mountain Oysters
Nah they aren't metallic enough
