Roll Up the Rim Tally

Tim Horton's?...I envy you! I hear that it's the same parent company as Wendy's so I can't understand why they don't open one in Downtown Chicago...they'd make out like bandits.

Briefly, Wendy's and Tims were owned by the same company, but Wendy's spun off Tims to public shares due to the high profitability of Tims just before Wendy's was bought out by another company.

I grew up within blocks of the first Tims and it's been a bitter sweet affair. I recently ended a 10yr boycott resulting from that crappy steeped tea barf they started selling. Now, I just have my half coffee/half hot chocolate and Tim and I are best friends again, but I'll never again have a Walnut Crunch.

I have tried drinking Tim Hortan's coffee. I classify it right along with Instant Coffee. It is amazing how advertising can make a bad cup of watery coffee sound like a great national drink. There doughnuts aren't so bad though if you scrape of the sugary icing,

Meh. I've heard tons of like/love/hate stories about coffee in general. As an official 'I don't care what coffee I drink as long as it makes my hot chocolate taste good' person, Tims is ok in my book. I don't drink coffee straight.

Word of advise. Don't EVER go to Krispy Kreme for a doughnut. If you think Tims are too sugary, you'll die of an overdose at KK.

BTW, advertising doesn't have to make it 'sound' like a national drink. Tims average annual profit does that.

Wooot! Adding another free coffee to my tally.

Hey, go easy on Krispy Kreme! It's a Southern thing. FWIW we don't care if y'all like sweet tea either...

I have to side with David, on this one. Krispy Kreme is awesome.

And my mom's best friend's college roommate's grandmother is the one who came up with the original recipe, or so I hear. True story. ith:

Only a doughnut for me, but I don't really go to Tim's very often (maybe on the occasional weekend).

I LOVE sweet tea and Krispy Kremes.

You Southerners have food all figured out.

To all immigrants into the location known "Southern States," a semi-official sounding warning has been issued regarding the locations known as "Krispy Kreme." This warning is due to the sugary-flavored substance found in the topping of the Krispy Kreme doughnut and in the Southern Iced Tea that these establishments serve. While testing has not found the exact substance in the sugary-flavoring, and therefore this substance is not illegal at this time; it has been observed that immigrants, when exposed to this item, drool uncontrollably and will fight each other, as well as local citizens who enter the conflict zone, tooth and nail to get the last doughnut or dribble of tea. Consider this your warning.
