The Church of Tim Hortons
 
Apparently its a religious cult in Canada. Saw loads of people queuing to get into their church chanting, Our father who art in heaven double double be thy name.

Strange.

somebody told me that Tim's cups contain high levels of MSG which has addictive properties and slowly diffuses into your coffee while you drink it. I don't know if its true bit if it is it would certainly explain a lot!

erm... because their coffee tastes like dishwater? Sacrilegious to say so, perhaps, and I'll happily consume it (and a dutchie or a box of Timbits as appropriate) when it's the only thing on offer, but if there's an alternative that actually tastes of coffee I'd take that any day.

Why else d'you think the double-double is the standard mixture? Put in enough sugar and cream and it disguises the absence of coffee flavour.

Thy Iced Capps come :eek:

I would rather drink dishwater than TH's hot coffee but confess to being addicted to Ice Caps. Not enough to waste 15 minutes a day in the drive thru line up but enough to crave one or two a week.

I thought it was recognised as the official Canadian religion, and we had to consume the full menu as part of applications for citizenship?
