Named Timberebs, this dim sum was developed by Justin Bieber and includes three new flavors: white chocolate fudge, sour cream chocolate chips and birthday cake waffles, and is sold at Tim Hortons stores in the United States and Canada.
In addition to food, limited edition merchandise such as canvas bags, hats and fanny packs – all bearing the Timbibs logo has been introduced.

Is this new product delicious? Aleesha Harris of the Vancouver Sun wrote after trying out the new timbiebs that the new product tasted very close to their original product, but the birthday cake waffle was sweeter than the already sweet Timbit.
In any case, on social media, fans have called the alliance "the greatest collaboration in history." One netizen wrote: "My first love (Justin Bieber) and my first love (Tim Hortons) have finally achieved my dream of cooperation! ”
Sure enough, the event has sparked a rush since its inception on November 29, with a long line of people rushing to Tim Hortons stores, and the products were quickly snapped up by enthusiastic fans, and developers had to urgently replenish them.
In an emailed statement to the media, Hope Bagozzi, Tim Hortons' chief marketing officer, said: "We know guests will be extremely excited about Tim Hortons' partnership with Justin Bieber and we will be challenged to meet the amazing demand for Timbiebs Timbits and its limited edition merchandise. ”
"While inventory of all Timberbs products is very limited, we expect guests to continue to try to buy from other Tim Hortons stores instead of snapping up used items."
Why? It turns out that not only the product itself, but also the enthusiastic fans have not even let go of the packaging box of the product! These products have been resold online for several times the original price, and even Timbits' boxes can be sold at sky-high prices!
How high is the price? An empty Timbiebs box, asking for $950,000 on the Facebook Marketplace – that's still a discounted price, oh, the original price was $1,000,000, yes you read that right, 1 million...
Even if the seller is funny... But there are really a lot of short boxes hanging at high prices, such as this:
Two brand new Timbiebs boxes for $5,000 CAD... The box is intact, "even the slag is there"! The seller also specifically noted: "Do not disturb if you are not sincere!" I know what I'm selling! ”
There is also this one that sells pockets, 450 knives a piece, compared to the two boxes seem to be much more cost-effective...
But considering that the retail price of Timbiebs's fanny pack is about 30 knives, it is not cheap to fry to 450 in second-hand... But for justin Bieber's followers, it's not as simple as a pocket, it's called investing!
Fortunately, the asking price of most second-hand goods is quite reasonable, and the price of fanny packs, hats and handbags is between 50-80 knives.
Justin Bieber also took advantage of this boom to catch fire again. He himself said of this "strong alliance": "It has always been my dream to cooperate with Tim Hortons, and Tim Hortons has always been my wish to grow up with me. ”
It turned out that the seeds of cooperation between the two sides had been planted as early as the end of 2019. At the time, Justin Bieber also sparked a debate on social media about the Tim Hortons cup lid.
Justin Bieber posted a poll on his Instagram account about Tim Hortons' old coffee cup, and the question was: "Fellow Canadians, who misses Tim Hortons' original lid as much as I do?" As a result, 70 per cent of Canadians agreed that the old Tim Hortons coffee mug was better.
The controversy even caught the attention of Tim Hortons chain owners, who personally responded to Justin Bieber, thanking him for his feedback and saying they were still working to improve the quality of the new lid.
"I'm sorry you didn't like our new lids, but the good news is that they're made from 100% recyclable plastic. We'd love to have you join our team and we're working hard to make them even better! Private message to us. ”
The good news is that 2 years later, this seed has finally taken root, and the cooperation between the two sides has become a reality, and it is also a lot of money.
How about, did you buy Timberbs?
