'A Curated Anthology of Tim Hortons Donuts' is a website of illustrations that depict the history and basic ingredients of various [Tim Hortons Restaurant Chain](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tim-hortons-winter-menu) products. Created by digital agency 'Pilot Interactive,' the site will leave you wanting a 20-pack of Timbits (donut holes.)

The site gives details on popular and [special edition donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/special-olympics-donuts) from The [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casetify-x-one-piece-collection) Fritter to the recently retired Dutchie. Did you know the Apple Fritter has been on the Tim Hortons menu since the chain was established in 1964? It also should be paired with tea. Information you may or not have known about the brand are on the site but you'll want to look anyways because it is so interactive and graphically appealing. The color spectrum of the sprinkles used on The Sprinkle Donut is even included.

The site has no direct affiliation with Tim Hortons, but is still very informative for any outsider.
