Am I wrong, or does Tim Horton's suck?
I just finished a Tim Horton’s medium Ice Cappuccino© and was sorely disappointed; I should stick to café-made ice caps. It then dawned on me, as I drizzled up the last artificially flavoured geometrically perfect ice-crystals, that the only thing that TH has going for it is the pleasant service. The coffee, doughnuts, muffins, et. al. are utter shite. Has anyone else had a similar revelation? The opening lyrics of Frank Zappa's Muffin Man also came to mind:
The muffin man is seated at the table in the laboratory of the utility muffin Research kitchen... reaching for an oversized chrome spoon he gathers an Intimate quantity of dried muffin remnants and brushing his scapular aside Procceds to dump these inside of his shirt... |

Like chowing-down at Rotten Ronnies and being thoroughly surprised that it's shite? |

Pleasant service?:rofl:

Re: Am I wrong, or does Tim Horton's suck?
The one and only thing I have found to be good at Tim Hortons is the Honey Crueller timbits otherwise known as little puff balls of yum in our house. Would I go out of my way to get them though? NO!

Re: Am I wrong, or does Tim Horton's suck?
Personally, I find franchises like Tim Horton's to be "ubiquitous-mould-injected-plastic-American-culture" and "platudinous Canadiana/Americana".
But then I am just a simple good ol' prairie boy... ;) |
Re: Am I wrong, or does Tim Horton's suck?
Timmies may not be perfect but every time I head back to the UK I have to take tins of coffee, fresh timbits and travel mugs for the relatives. Sadly, upon arriving I am barely given a hug n kiss :huh:. It`s all about the timbits and making some coffee. Oh and if you think that`s sad ... I have a cousin who travelled 2.5 hrs on the train from Belfast to Dublin because Spar have a Tim Hortons counter and she fancied a boston cream donut :rofl:
