Canada is already a place, what other “places” would you be referring to other than place (stores) like Tim Hortons, McDonalds, etc. in your comment?
Yes Canadians may incorrectly call them Tim Bits, but other places can’t since the trademark is owned by Tim Hortons. No need to lie that other places call it that when they can’t or they would get sued and easily lose dude….
Lemmy trends very young and harder towards people on the spectrum, so I see a LOT of these kinds of takes where someone completely misunderstands something and then absolutely refuses to change their opinion.
You’re arguing that “every place” must mean shops.
I absolutely didn’t read it as that, I assumed they meant “other parts of Canada”. I mean, Canada is a gigantic country with tons of regional accent, dialect, even language differences.
Might be best to chalk it up to a misunderstanding and move on.
Other places absolutely can’t advertise as Timbits, that’s a trademarked name.
Don’t make shit up dude.
I didn’t claim that. I don’t think you understand what people in this thread are saying.
Other companies can’t advertise their products as “Kleenex”, but that doesn’t stop most people from calling all facial tissues Kleenex.
Most Canadians call them Timbits.

Oh my guy… Places like Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Toronto… Not stores, geographical locations.
As a non-canadian who has never heard the word timbits before, this is the funniest argument I have ever read on lemmy
A weird hill to die on too lol
I see you’re new here.

Maybe this is an Eng (UK) / Eng (US) issue.
