I did like their hot chocolate until I went in to get one once and it was the last in the container. Think she literally scraped the bottom of the barrel in this cup, it tasted rank and not had one from there since.
Like their donuts though, but on a diet so can't have one.

Re: If your bagel ain't burnt

Timmies is what it is. If you expect a cheap fill of caffeine, sugar and carbohydrates then you'll be OK. If you expect haute cuisine, then you'll be sadly disappointed.

I do very occasionally frequent such establishments for a doughnut, bagel or chilli. However, their recent change in bread has tipped me over the edge. Their 'bread' now has the taste and consistency of a small mattress and it even looks like one. Seriously what is it? Bread it isn't.

That's because they don't come in beef flavour.

Nah...they couldn't compete with Timmies.

I tried one of their doughnuts only once, even sweeter and more sickly than Timmies and that's saying something.

I very much doubt that that's where you're supposed to put it.

But it looks like that's where it came from.

There are quite a few Timmies plus Cold Stones in the Maritimes, and some also have Wendys......

True. Out west, we still need room for oil pumps, providing the fuel for vehicles to travel from the drive throughs to the tawdry strip malls, and hockey rinks which are popular during "off hours".
