Duct tape, Rope, newspaper
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.
as a brazilian, i have no idea if you’re right.
Canadian here. You’re a shill.
Same, get off your alt. Post a video of one canadian calling them doughnut holes.
Show me evidence of one canadian calling them doughnut holes.
I’ll wait.
No the fuck I don’t.
-Signed A Canadian.
Is it a regional thing? Like Southern US folks calling all fizzy soda pop drinks regardless of brand “Coke”
It’s like kleenex, Tim’s brought them around so everyone just refers to them as tidbits. I didn’t even know what a doughnut hole was till my friend from New York told me.

Consider that your experience is not universal to all Canadians.
(Good news, mine isn’t either.)
Around here, people were baking donut holes before Tim Hortons was a thing, we called them “Trous de beignes” which is just french for doughnut holes.
Now, I imagine there are places where that isn’t the case, like whatever parts you’re from.And no, neither of us should post a photo of our Canadian passport or a video of our dead grandma mentioning them.
I’m not about to post PII online and we weren’t filming ourselves doing random shit before smart phones.I’ve posted evidence of what canadians say. You can’t find 1 example in the history of the internet to back your claim.
You need to be a man of evidence or else your just spreading misinformation.
Your own source even corroborates what I’ve said:
French-speaking Canadians prefer to use the generic term “trous de beigne”.
Sorry, neither my grandma nor my mom were posting on instagram making doughnut holes 20 years before Internet was even a thing?
The world existed before the Internet and we baked Trous de beignes in the kitchen instead of buying garbage frozen cardboard from some shitty corp.
They were smaller than Timbits because we literally just fried the hole part we removed from the doughnuts we also made. We’d use a glass to cut the doughnut shape and a sewing thimble for the hole because it was the right size.
The kitchen smelled for days and my mom would funnel the oil back in a container to reuse for the next batch months later.
Chlorine, ammonia and a large plastic tub
Super hard mode: 2 items
Vaginal cream and a fly swatter
Frozen pizza and canned pineapple
This is the best one so far 😂
I’m very disappointed. I couldn’t find any cardboard tubes at my local Walmart.
Anyway:
- Cardboard tube, at least 3” in diameter
- Gerbil food
- Candlesticks
Check in the party section, over by the office supplies. Wrapping paper makes great cardboard tubes.
Source: I, uh… saw it in a movie, yeah
bleach, ammonia based cleaner, mixing container.
uh oh, accidental chloramine gas bomb
reminder people, do NOT mix bleach with ammonia based cleaners to “speed up cleaning”. youll accidentally speed up life
Why doesn’t this happen when I piss in bleach
Brother if you’re pissing straight ammonia you’ve got other problems. Your body specifically coverts ammonia to urea because it’s toxic to you and it’s usually bacteria that converts it back.
Urea + bleach also makes chloramines
It does happen, you just don’t get that much of a reaction because it’s diluted. You definitely don’t want to stick around the fumes that it gives off though.
Why do you piss in bleach?
The bottle says no need to flush the bleach before using the toilet
Huh, the ones I’ve seen always say to flush thoroughly, and I’ve been told it’s to prevent a potential buildup of residue from clogging the toilet or bursting a pipe. Maybe that’s outdated info, or because of a different formula? Wouldn’t be the first time some old wisdom doesn’t apply to modern products anymore.
Clogged toilets are unheard of in Australia, so don’t know lol
Can’t see bleach blocking any pipes
It’s diluted
The easy-way-to-end-up-with-a-police-visit classic:
-
Plan B pill

Giant “9” balloon
-
Vodka.
At the risk of sounding stupid, why
It’s what some people will pickup before going to a house and getting a surprise visit from Chris Hansen.

Bleach, a saw, and cat litter.
As a former cashier (grocery store not walmart admittedly, but I doubt things are that different), I dont think weird uses for the items are the way to go, the cashier is barely even going to notice or care what you’re buying. what I bring to freak out the cashier, are some item that needs ID to buy, some big heavy item with the barcode removed so that it will take a bunch of lifting and turning in a hopeless effort to find it before someone eventually has to go find another one and bring it over, and a propane refill if walmart does those (at my grocery store the process to go find a full one was a pain, especially in the winter since they were outside). Further, I try to buy these items with the help of a ton of expired and unexpired coupons mixed together, several gift cards, and a stubborn half-deaf old person who wont take no for an answer.
You are a fucking monster. The point of this was to have some laughs not cause a poor walmart employee to beat their spouse or off them selves. Damn you’re cruel.
Hey, it could always get worse. I could also specify that these items are purchased on a Sunday that a locally favored football team happens to be playing a game, during the rush of people buying snacks and soda.

Would it be more or less frustrating if instead of an old person, it’s a middle aged person who clearly doesn’t understand the language but keeps smiling and nodding as if you’re on the same page and any time you try to prompt for information, they encouragingly push their items towards you or try to pay you in a currency you don’t recognize?
A bit less, partly because it’s easier to be sympathetic to those people, and partly because, in my experience, it can be helped by getting out google translate on one’s phone, if one can figure out which language it is
How make a cashier consider on the job suicide
What aisle has the half-dead old person
Rope, duck tape, and a tarp.
Kid’s backpack, kid’s lunchbox, and a gun.
The back to school in America special.
KY
inside out glove
couch
What’s a KY?
Kentucky
Lube
Ah the old JD Vance
Couch, lube, a Barry White album.
Gatorade
Pregnancy tests
Plan B
Even worse:
Gatorade
Pregnancy test
Wire coat hangers
Sodium Hydroxide, hacksaw, large trash can
In the era of ai and facial recognition, this is the only one so far that seems like it could plausibly get you a knock on the door from law enforcement. Good job.
