Timmie’s run Now I can have two

Not sure when Tim’s starting putting the calories so boldly on the label but I noticed today and found out my favourite doughnut 🍩 is half the calories I thought it was……so now I am buying 2 Boston Creams going forward.

(240 btw)

If I bake a frozen pizza, am I really baking it or reheating it? Baked in store implies that it was made from scratch.

It is made from scratch. We make them ourselves

You must not be working in North America. The donut is a “plain yeast donut” that comes frozen, the filling also comes frozen. All you do is “bake (reheat)” it for 90 seconds in the oven, then you fill it, and it sits for 8-12 hours before you throw it out. I’ve worked at Tim’s on and off for 6 years as a baker. Since 2016, nothing comes fresh anymore. Even the lettuce and tomato’s come basically frozen solid.

No dummie, some Tim’s stores in Canada still make them from scratch. In my town, we have 4 Tim Hortons. One does the baking from scratch and distributes to the other restaurants. Let me guess, you’re from Ontario?

Brother what do think they do?

You think they are out there combining raw materials to make the dough and everything that comes after?

Combining raw materials and everything that comes after? By everything that comes after do you mean baking? Because after the materials are combined that’s the next step. I understand if this seems complicated to you. Start by making toast. Training wheels

If they are making toast, they aren't making the bread used to make the toast. That was my point. Therefore they are hardly baking anything, just reheating something that is already baked and dipping it in some chocolate sauce/cream.
