a) tastes better
b) is more accessible
c) is free
d) all of the above
Freeing up $40 a week by not buying Tim Horton's coffee and using the funds to buy a little something* to make the coffee at work even better: Priceless
I freed up even more money by never driving to work and by getting rid of my parking pass. So I will allow myself the small luxury of one purchased coffee a day. I could make it at home (and I do on the weekends), but my mornings are already very hectic getting my two children up and ready for school.

I walk to work, it takes 4 minutes. If I was going to treat myself to coffee on the way it certainly wouldn't be that hypersweetened shit from Tim Hortons.
The hashbrowns at Tim Hortons are disgusting as well. Took one bite, found out it tasted what I thought eating luke warm cardboard covered in dirt would be like and threw it in the trash. They have a long way to go if they want to compete with Mcdonalds in the hashbrown department.
0:1
they bake their hashbrowns which are made for a deep fryer
? what haha, they have black coffee but it tastes like crap.
Maybe thats why I'm not the hugest of fans of Tims, I get it with 1 cream so I can actually taste the coffee..
Their black coffee tastes like it already has two sugars in it. It isn't bitter at all, it's sweet, and black coffee isn't supposed to be sweet. I found it very off-putting.
3:43. Starting to get closer to the expected value. The sampling distribution of the mean holds. Long live the central limit theorem.

Not contest related but the bakery up the street from me sells old fashion deep-fried donuts, they melt in your mouth. They literally melt in your mouth. It was still warm.
I can't eat fast food donuts anymore, I just can't.
It is getting harder and harder to find the real, old-fashioned donuts. There is a place up in Exeter (an hour north of London) that makes them on the spot, deep-fried. Wonderful variety. Heavenly.

As far as I can tell there are no more contest cups left in Oakville. We have a lot of Tim Hortons locations here too, including the head office. One stretch of Third Line has five stores in as many kilometers.
It's back. Well, I just checked, and I fucking won! On my first coffee of the promotional campaign. Unlike my terrible 0:26 record last year. I won a coffee. Whoop de doo.
And nobody--I MEAN NOBODY--ever wins the blue arrow side.
2015 record:
1:1

I'm not surprised Roll Up the Rim started early this year - Tim Hortons is currently in what is arguably the biggest PR disaster in their history, fresh off the TFW controversies over the past two years and now dealing with the fallout of the BK merger and then lying to their office staff and laying 16% of them off. They need to maintain all the traffic they can get when they're bleeding customers. How much the bleeding is, I don't know, but I've noticed a reduction in the number of customers at the location closest to me (a prime location near Queen's University), and there has been a lot of anger boiling over on Facebook.
I have definitely reduced my Tim Hortons consumption in the past two weeks and Roll Up the Rim isn't enough to bring me back right now. I have been going to a local independent near my work more so recently - the staff are so much friendlier, the coffee isn't as good as Tim Hortons but I know my money is supporting my community and not Warren Buffet's fortune. Even the two Starbucks near me don't appeal to me very much - the staff seem fake and robotic (which is unusual for Starbucks in my opinion).
