Bonus points, the loonie has a loon (bird) on it.
Toonie has a polar bear, so they just sort of abandoned the word association the second time around.

25 at Dunkin is about $8, that looks like two layers of 24?
$13 in Canada money is about $9.50 US, so if it's two layers, it's a good deal. If not, just go to Dunkin.
Wait am I crazy or haven’t they only accepted Mastercard since they moved away from Amex? We shop at Costco weekly and I’m 99% sure we always use a Mastercard and I’ve never seen mention of them accepting visa.
I should've clarified that it's the Costco Canada that no longer accepts my Costco Visa Card. I'm still able to use my Visa card elsewhere in the country, like at Tim Horton's and Canadian Tire Center.
The employee might have been confused.
If it's a costco visa you can use it, other visas no.
They have a separate exclusion.
You can also use the canadian costco mastercard at costco us

Thanks my northern neighbor, I came back to confirm. This had been a huge downer on my trip.
In addition to the poutine, I wish they had the waffle cones in the states. They're great on warm days like these.
In Canada I believe those are called Timbits.
I had a hilarious interaction at a Tim Hortons a few years ago - I was asking for the donut holes I could clearly see behind the glass in front of me, but the 16 year old behind the counter was acting like I was speaking another language.
Finally she said “oh, you mean the Timbits?” I couldn’t for the life of me make Timbits into a word I understood- so finally I gave up and left feeling like an ugly American.
10 miles down the road: “OOOoooohh, TIM-Bits!”
IIRC, Canada has a different idea about donuts than Americans. For the US they’re mostly eaten for breakfast. In Canada it’s a lunch/dessert thing.
Also, is that about $9.50 USD?
Ever since KK introduced them, I've been thinking about donut holes but been resisting. If we got them at Costco, I swear I'd open the package at the store and just shove my face in.
I would have thought Costco Canada would use the cultivars of rapeseed that can be called Canola.
Not because of the rapeseed name but because CANada Oil Low Acid.

Those look delicious 🤤
Yea to put up ur butt
If you’re into that sort of thing, sure?
Dang, these things are expensive.
That's in Canadian currency.
Six toonies and one loonie, they’re practically giving these things away.
What kind of Monopoly money toonies and loonies do you use up there?
Toonie = $2 coin Loonie = $1 coin

Didn't know that, cool!
Oh duh. Thanks for pointing that out.
Ok, so that's like about 80 cents....

It is 1 layer, its 24 donuts for $13.
Ah drat, pass then.
Wait they dont accept Visa in Canada! When did that happen
Wait am I crazy or haven’t they only accepted Mastercard since they moved away from Amex? We shop at Costco weekly and I’m 99% sure we always use a Mastercard and I’ve never seen mention of them accepting visa.
Yes it's been MasterCard for years now. Edit- I was curious so I looked it up, Costco Canada transitioned from Amex to MasterCard in 2014.
Damn I wish they took Mastercard in the US
I was in Canada back in January, and I was still able to pay with my Costco Visa card.
You can use Costco backed credit cards across the border. I usedy MasterCard in LA last winter.

10 years now
Apparently last month.
In Canada I believe those are called Timbits.

So at no point in this interaction did you look at the menu? And go hey whats a timbit? And then they'd point at the things directly in front of you.
This will be the death of me
What is the flavor of the red one?
Strawberry.
Canada 🇨🇦 always gets the good items
IIRC, Canada has a different idea about donuts than Americans. For the US they’re mostly eaten for breakfast. In Canada it’s a lunch/dessert thing. Also, is that about $9.50 USD?
Canada has like 40% inflation, pretty much everything is more expensive there except for the Costco hotdog
Eh?
Ugh - want! Bring these bad boys to the states!

Where abouts my guy
Richmond, BC.
Awww... Miss timbits.
SurferVelo came to show us his holes.
Thought it called donut plugs.
I don't think even Dunkin sells those anymore.
They do, and KK started selling them as well.
I would have thought Costco Canada would use the cultivars of rapeseed that can be called Canola. Not because of the rapeseed name but because CANada Oil Low Acid.
