You have to drink the liquid to win right ? That, again, is too high a price to pay.

Why page 3? Are you suggesting I'm a NoW pin-up person?

<I've probably got the wrong "newspaper">

This thread is painful though, we have one every bloody year.

I am of course pleased that you should think of me. But frankly I'd sooner be forgotten than be associated with such a damning condemnation of Canadian intellect.

It is an idea pinched from a football site. We run a virtual sweepstake on match days to predict who will score the first goal and how many pages long the thread will be when it happens.

That is a forlorn hope. You are forever to be associated with Tim Horton's finest ham and swiss sandwiches slathered in that honey mustard dressing.

Double the disappointment in every cup. Triple for those who drink the stuff maybe?

NoW doesn't exist anymore, it was closed by Murdoch after the phone hacking came to light.

In any case, it's the SupaSorawaySun what has the knockers.

I won a coffee or a latte today.

Was only in there for the wifi so I could do some work emails, so was obliged to buy something...

Left my 'rim' on the table, as their standard coffee actually seems to be getting worse and their latte (and everything else that comes out of that machine) tastes of chocolate.

I hate to say it, but McDonalds does better coffee...

I do too once in a while... I used to love it but for some reason it tastes different than it once used to, and I don't like it as much anymore... So you're not alone ;)

I like the coffee.. With 2 creams ! Am not a coffee snob ;)

They also do a decent cuppa :)

I'm not out much at the moment as I am recovering from surgery but I got my first Tim's in several days yesterday and won a coffee so my next one is on them.

Last year I won one of their $100 Tim Cards.

Is that why you had to have the surgery?

Oh thank goodness, it's not just me.

Italy has spoiled me rotten for coffee, Timmies tastes like mud now,
and not good mud at that.

Re: Roll up the Rim 2014
 
I may try my luck and buy a hot chocolate and see if I can win.

I am not a huge coffee drinker and for me to drink any kind of coffee it has to be of pretty decent quality, of which Tim Hortons is not. Takes more cream and sugar then you'd believe to make that coffee edible.

They also make a poor hot chocolate, its very watery, but as far as I know they use water to make it, where Starbucks uses steamed milk as do smaller chains and independents.

Who like hot chocolate flavored water?

Get the 'whipped cream', and beat it into your watery chocolate, makes it drinkable.

Or go to an independent (which abound in BC).

I'm not allowed in Tim Hortons, ('Can you roll this up then?').
Just kidding :D - don't like it, never go there, but if I found a cup with a free pastry on it I'd use it.

Don't forget there are two sides to the cup to roll up this time ! One side is the normal side and the blue side is 10 possible extra cars!
