Humber tries Timbiebs

Dec 3, 2021 | Life

The Justin Bieber and Tim Hortons collaboration many have been waiting for is here.

The new Timbit flavours, also known as Timbiebs, hit the shelves Nov. 29, along with a lineup of Timbiebs merchandise, like hats and tote bags.

The three new flavours are a twist on classic Timbit flavours: chocolate white fudge, sour cream chocolate chip, and birthday cake waffle.

Humber students tried the three new flavours of the new Timbiebs and gave their feedback to Humber Et Cetera.

The most popular flavour on campus turned out to be the sour cream chocolate chip, with many saying it brought an exciting new flavour while the other two entries tasted like the regular Timbits.

“Oh my, It’s really good. I have been waiting for these to come out for weeks so I’m so excited to try them,” said Jay Lanthier, a student in the Personal Support Worker program.

“Way too sweet for me, I could not be eating these every day, but love the name,” said Ashley Alviani. The group of 20 people rated the sour cream chocolate chip a nine out of 10.

The chocolate white fudge is next on the list, but many felt that it was too similar of a flavour as the classic chocolate Timbit.

“It tastes the exact same as a regular chocolate one,” said Esthetician/Spa Management student Taylor Samms.

“It’s nothing crazy, I mean it’s not good but not bad. There is the original flavour with just a sprinkle of something else,” said Rrezart Sadiku in the Business Management Program.

Finally, the birthday cake waffle came in last place with most saying it did not meet expectations and tasted the most like a regular Timbit.

Overall, all three flavours were received well by students with many asking if the Tim Hortons on campus was open again. The Tim Hortons on campus is closed until further notice due to a reduction in students on campus.
