I find Timmies bitter... you need sugar in your coffee to compensate.

If you're someone who takes their coffee without sugar then you're out of luck, pal.

0 for 1 so far.

My Tim Horton's consumption has everything to do with convenience and often a lack of real choice, and very little to do with preference. It is almost exclusively restricted to coffee, and on the weekends, the odd donut/timbits with my kids.

RUR is a sign that spring is coming.

My firm has second cup but for some reason I stop at Timmy’s on the way in. Maybe it’s the community that has formed in the one I stop at. Same people at the same time, you end up talking. There is also a consistency that I find I need as I get older. I know I can go into a Tim’s in any city and have a coffee like at home, hell even in Iqaluit.

I'm dating myself a bit (and probably repeating this story, but oh well...):

Remember when bags of potato chips and such had "instant win" things printed on the inside of the bags? You open your chips, and you have a 1 in 4 or whatever chance of winning a free bag of chips?

When I was a kid, someone seriously f'd up. The local convenience store got an entire shipment in where every single bag was a winner. It took us a couple of days to figure this out, but once we had... my friends and I formed a near-continuous queue, getting our free bags, dumping the contents into larger containers, and redeeming for the next one. We probably ended up with over 100 bags of Hickory Sticks before the store ran out.

As a child back before $100 allowances, we might as well have won the lottery. To this day I can barely eat the things anymore.

I still love Hickory Sticks, lol, yummy!

[wacko]

Mmm, hickory sticks.

I don't drink coffee so I have nothing else to contribute. I do eat donuts, however it's usually my dad who buys them!

Or

When the pop companies place letters in the caps of their bottles and you were require too spell certain words. I remember Coke, Crush and RC Cola all doing that. There was a time when the same companies placed info inside pop cans.

Gawd I remember winning free bags of chips back in the day!! It was like winning the Lottery lol.

Or Pepsi points.

The other day I was asked if I wanted to redeem my Sobey's points. I said no, I was saving up for the Harrier jet.

The cashier was just a wee bit too young to get the joke.

One summer when I was a kid, Pepsi and Doritos had a joint contest going where you could get free stuff. I got a bag of Doritos I won a Pepsi, and that Pepsi won a bag of Doritos. Which won me another Pepsi, which led to another bag of Doritos. This went on for some time before I finally lost on one of them.

It's why I'm fat.

What is it, 18 Tim Hortons locations at Western? That's what it was I went there. Queen's University, from what I'm told, has only one on all of campus.

Anyways, I'm now 1 for 2. Won a coffee/latte today. And I walk by McDonald's on the way to work daily. Next week, what can I say...

Considering my wife and I just bought a RAV4 last summer... this is the year I'm going to win the car. I can feel it.
