Tim Hortons new Halloween Sprinkle donuts do bad things to your guts

Some people around here may know that I have an unnatural fondness for Timmy's coffee, despite its general uninterestingness, but it's probably less known that occasionally I indulge in the Timmy's donuts. Well, several times recently I've tried the new Halloween Sprinkles donuts, which have sprinkles on the top, either orange hearts or black bats. I'm here to tell you: Stay away from the black bats. THEY TURN YOUR POOP GREEN.

Actually, that's a pretty good reason to have a few of them. Gross out your friends and family. Make your doctor think you have a horrible illness. Anyhow, whatever. That's some strong-ass dye they got in those things. Makes me wonder what the inside of my body looks like after a few of those things.

Some questions are better left unanswered.

Stinky, you inspect your own poop now? What are you - German?

― Kim (Kim), Friday, 22 October 2004 22:40 (twenty-one years ago)

it's those toilets.

― Orbit (Orbit), Friday, 22 October 2004 22:47 (twenty-one years ago)

See if you can save them for St. Patrick's day when they'll prove to be more in line with the general décor.

― Michael White (Hereward), Friday, 22 October 2004 22:49 (twenty-one years ago)

They must be anal bats.

― Kim (Kim), Friday, 22 October 2004 22:50 (twenty-one years ago)

See usually I don't do inspections, but I couldn't help but notice when I turned around to put the seat down that green dye was wafting around the bowl. (Anyhow, some people recommend that you just...you know, at least LOOK every so often to make sure you're not shitting blood or anything like that. You don't have to get in there with your fingers ya know.)

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Friday, 22 October 2004 23:35 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah, poop definitely shouldn't visually "waft".

― Kim (Kim), Friday, 22 October 2004 23:57 (twenty-one years ago)

I thought I might be sharing too much information with my last post on the FAP thread. Perhaps I didn't share enough?

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Saturday, 23 October 2004 00:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Of course, now I'm very tempted to try the donuts myself to see if this is a widespread phenomenon or just something specific to Sean's intestinal flora.

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Saturday, 23 October 2004 00:33 (twenty-one years ago)

How often do you show your poop off to "friends and family" anyways, Sean? You worry me!

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Saturday, 23 October 2004 00:35 (twenty-one years ago)

I haven't actually done that, Thermo. It was just a suggestion for those who are so inclined.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Saturday, 23 October 2004 01:56 (twenty-one years ago)

They brought back Orange Cruellers!!!
But their calling them Orange Sticks. Im in fucking heaven

HEAVEN i Tell you!

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 3 November 2004 19:36 (twenty-one years ago)

No word yet on what colour they may change my droppings to.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 3 November 2004 19:37 (twenty-one years ago)

I hope they use stronger colouring than they did on those quarters!

― Huk-L, Wednesday, 3 November 2004 19:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Has anyone tried those quarters on vending machines yet?

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 3 November 2004 19:52 (twenty-one years ago)

You would dare trade the honour of the veterans for ice cold sodey pop! For shame! For dirty shame!

― Huk-L, Wednesday, 3 November 2004 19:57 (twenty-one years ago)

What if I gave that soda pop to a veteran?

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 3 November 2004 20:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Okay.
Does Tim Hortons know that Halloween is over?

― Huk-L, Wednesday, 3 November 2004 20:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, hence the 'Orange Stick' is the donut of the month.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 3 November 2004 20:13 (twenty-one years ago)

The "orange stick" has sickly orange marmalade slathered on top. I tried one. Never again. Disgusting.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Wednesday, 3 November 2004 20:15 (twenty-one years ago)

LIAR! They are wonderful and they love my belly in a way only breakfast products can.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 3 November 2004 20:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Sick.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Wednesday, 3 November 2004 20:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Ours is truly a nation divided.

― Huk-L, Wednesday, 3 November 2004 20:28 (twenty-one years ago)

We would have thrown Twin Peaks for a loop with our Montreal style bagels vs everything else on offer ways.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 3 November 2004 21:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Bah, these new-fangled baked goods be the devil's work. GIVE ME OLD-FASHIONED PLAIN OR BOSTON CREAM ANY DAY!

― Tantrum The Cat (Tantrum The Cat), Wednesday, 3 November 2004 21:29 (twenty-one years ago)

But Orange Cruellers are old style Tim's, before the sandwiches and soups.
They shall return in triumphant glory if I have my way.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 3 November 2004 21:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Old style Tim's equals baking-powder-heavy orange-coloured logs slathered in oversweet marmalade? Count me OUT. (But gimme some o that coffee and boston creamy goodness.)

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Wednesday, 3 November 2004 22:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Stop it sicko, you're making me hungry.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 3 November 2004 22:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Your depravity knows no bounds.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Wednesday, 3 November 2004 22:33 (twenty-one years ago)

dude, you voluntarily ate a donut with poo-affective SPRINKLES on it, so like, your credibility is shot.

― Kim (Kim), Wednesday, 3 November 2004 22:55 (twenty-one years ago)

DO NOT DISS THE POO SPRINKLES, INGRATES.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Wednesday, 3 November 2004 23:15 (twenty-one years ago)

wait, I've got an idea. next month's donut - the "Poo Stick". I'm calling Horton's headquaters right now! (this is true)

― Kim (Kim), Wednesday, 3 November 2004 23:21 (twenty-one years ago)

(ok, it's not. but maybe I will later)

― Kim (Kim), Wednesday, 3 November 2004 23:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Noodles, I was in Timmies today and saw these orange sticks you speak of.
You had me kind of intrigued but they look like moist orange turds and I am now scarred to try them!

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 16:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Just scrape the marmalade off of them. I'm not sure what's up with that.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 16:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Those orange sticks sound suspicious, I'll stick with Timbits.

― Leon the Fratboy (Ex Leon), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 16:44 (twenty-one years ago)

I can't believe how much I miss Tim Horton's. I haven't uttered the phrase "medium double double" in nearly a year.

― J-rock (Julien Sandiford), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 04:44 (twenty-one years ago)

The marmalade on those orange sticks looks like vomit. I'm mostly trying to stay away from Tim's as the coffee gives me the shits and the donuts make my gut very large.

― Bryan (Bryan), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 05:09 (twenty-one years ago)

I miss Tim Horton's too, and I've only been there a few times.

That's right, I was able to get iceberg lettuce in Lloydminster in December.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 05:24 (twenty-one years ago)

I thought everyone who likes coffee likes Tim Hortons' coffee?

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 05:49 (twenty-one years ago)

It's as "pleasant" as real straight-up manly caffeinated coffee gets.

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 05:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Ours is truly a nation divided.

canadian maple is the only donut flavour that truly unite our country again.[or maple walnut]

― william (william), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 05:53 (twenty-one years ago)

I didn't say I didn't like it, Sundar, it just gives me the shits. In spite of this I usually have at least one extra large double-double every week, but I try to have it somewhere where I can get to the bathroom quickly.

Canadian Maples give me a sore throat. I likes the Pecan Maple danish they had before, though. Boston Creams are the way to go.

― Bryan (Bryan), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 05:55 (twenty-one years ago)

I seem to recall that the coffee was "OK". But, uh, we brought a french press with us on the road trip, and a coffee grinder, and... yeah.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 06:10 (twenty-one years ago)

You all speak crazy - Chocolate Dip rulz!
I mean it is by far the tastiest. Or does it give you athletes foot or something Bryan?

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 06:11 (twenty-one years ago)

They just don't have the appeal of the Boston Cream for me. I have yet to stick bits of chocolate dipped between my toes to see what might happen but give me time.

― Bryan (Bryan), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 06:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Better yet, give him booze.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 06:27 (twenty-one years ago)

The maple pecan danishes are still around, and they're amazing. I alternate between them, cinnamon rolls, chocolate dip and the Boston creams.

Orange sticks are still abominations.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 14:02 (twenty-one years ago)

hwo can you say such cruel things about the Orange Crueller?

But truely no donut rocks like the double chocolate. Though the Canadian Maple has a good beat and I can dance to it.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 10 November 2004 14:18 (twenty-one years ago)

eight months pass...

Even the CBC calls them Timmys.

They could hand out free coffee with stock purchase, pay dividends in cans of coffee andass out those increasingly rare mugs at AGMs.

― Rufus 3000 (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 14:12 (twenty years ago)

I would kill for some Tim Hortons coffee right now.

― Leon C. (Ex Leon), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 14:15 (twenty years ago)

Is it really that good? It was Bess Eaton in the USA until Tim Horton's bought them out. They had creepy christian shit on their coffee cups and it sucked.

― Jon, remind me again why you haven't drowned in your own vomit (ex machina), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 14:21 (twenty years ago)

I would kill for some Tim Hortons coffee right now.

yes.

― mark p (Mark P), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 14:22 (twenty years ago)

I don't know if it's the greatest or anything like that but I am semi-addicted to it, I used to live in apartment that was across the street from a Tim Hortons so I'd end up drinking it every day.

The Bess Eaton sounds creepy though.

― Leon C. (Ex Leon), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 14:23 (twenty years ago)

it's not really Good Coffee, it's just... nice.

― mark p (Mark P), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 14:24 (twenty years ago)

Dunkin Donuts has crap donuts and excellent coffee. Is the coffee better? Are the donuts better?

― Jon, remind me again why you haven't drowned in your own vomit (ex machina), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 14:26 (twenty years ago)

Is it like NY Diner coffee? Cos that's the stuff of the gods...

― Jimmy Mod Is Sick of Being The Best At Everything (ModJ), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 14:31 (twenty years ago)

ive never had dunkin donuts, but i suspect its probably america's closest analogue.

― mark p (Mark P), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 14:32 (twenty years ago)

There is a street corner in Providence, RI where you can stand in one spot, turn and see 3 DUNKIN DONUTS.

― Jon, remind me again why you haven't drowned in your own vomit (ex machina), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 14:34 (twenty years ago)

I haven't been to a Dunkin Donuts in years because the only one nearby is at this intersection that's hard to get to, so I can't even say how the coffee would compare.

― Leon C. (Ex Leon), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 14:35 (twenty years ago)

Apparently, "iced coffee" is a blue state thing.

― Jon, remind me again why you haven't drowned in your own vomit (ex machina), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 14:40 (twenty years ago)

Mark, style wise Dunkin Donuts is close in terms of the services provided and general look and feel, but the coffee is crap.

They used to be tied to Baskin Robbins when they had they're ill fated local invasion into the GTA.

― Rufus 3000 (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 14:48 (twenty years ago)

Yea, there's some Dunkin Donuts tied to them scattered here and there. Some were also tied to some weird Sammich place .... Toro's? Tojo's?

(Can't disagree more with you about the coffee!)
