The metric system is great, but we believe that there are better ways of measuring everyday objects… like in Timbits! After all, without using a metre stick or ruler – how long is a 2013 Ford Escape in centimetres?
Well, according to Tim Hortons, who offered to measure anything in Timbits this week – it’s about 106 donut holes long.
From the Eiffel Tower to the Stanley Cup and even your favourite celebrities, Canada’s most trusted brand took to Twitter to offer a delicious alternative to feet, inches and in some cases – even cuteness.
