Dutchie Timbit among 24 items cut from Tim Hortons menu


The small, but tasty Dutchie Timbit is among the 24 less-popular items Tim Hortons is taking off its menu in a bid to become more efficient.
The company wants to simplify the process in-store and get customers served more quickly, according to 680News Business Editor Richard Southern.
“They want to make the display a little cleaner, and this is all in an effort to reduce lineups,” Southern said.
“There’s not much room for them to grow. There is, figuratively speaking, a Tim Hortons on every corner.”
Meanwhile the company is trying out a fried crispy chicken sandwich and a darker roast coffee to attract Starbucks customers.
Here’s a list of some of the items cut from the menu, according to The Canadian Press. The company said it would continue to offer the products until they run out.

• Mixed Berry Smoothie
• Blueberry Danish
• Chocolate Danish
• Double Berry Muffin
• Walnut Crunch doughnut
• Timbit Dutchie
• Gingerbread Man Cookies

NASA to ship cookies to ISS after losing Canada-U.S. hockey bet
It was a sweet bet that paid off in mouthfuls for the Canadian Space Agency.
On the line in the Canada-United States men’s hockey wager with NASA was a box of cookies.
Thanks to Canada’s semi-final victory at the Sochi Olympics on Friday, the Americans will eventually ship a box of maple creams to the International Space Station. On Friday, U.S. President Barack Obama lost a case of beer to Prime Minister Stephen Harper when the Canadian women’s hockey team won gold against the Americans.
The U.S. space agency had accepted the challenge by wagering a cookie emblazoned with red, white and blue “Stars and Stripes” icing.
The Canadian Space Agency savoured the 1-0 victory, saying on its Twitter account: “Can’t tweet. Mouth full, crumbs abound!”
With an eye on Sunday’s Olympic gold-medal game against Sweden, the CSA then tweeted: “How to do you say maple cream cookies in Swedish?”
It won’t be the first time the creamy biscuits have been in space.
While on the space station last April, then-Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield took a picture of a floating maple cookie and then ate it.
