POLL: Are Timbits donuts?

(For our American friends, you may know Timbits as "doughnut holes" or "Munchkins.")

People had opinions, but the results were far from conclusive.

@katangus They're donut remnants.

@katangus What the fuck, no. Tim Hortons donuts are barely donuts!

@katangus all Timbits are donuts but not all donuts are Timbits. Think about that.

After all, they're made of the same stuff as doughnuts.

And what counts as a doughnut, anyway?

Does it just have to be a round ball of dough with a hole in the middle?

Let's figure this shit out.
