That would be one of those mixed message irony type posts??

Can't stand Timmie's coffee, although the doughnuts are good. Much prefer the real coffee shops that serve proper coffee.

The wife went into one with a friend and asked if they had Cappacino, the girl asked of she wanted vanilla or ... (can't remember the other 'flavour' was), the wife said no, just a normal one, the girl looked at her stupid as if she never heard of it. She couldn't have a normal one as they did not have a tin of that.

What I hate (most) about them is the long, long lines of cars, they queue out into the road blocking traffic, why can't the lazy buggers park up and walk inside.

Amazing aren't they?

I have no idea why people would do this at any time but especially on their way to work.

Spend an extra 15 minutes at home make a cup of decent coffee and save a pile of money.

The first line reflects how I feel.

The second line is taking the piss. I stuff all kinds of bad stuff into my mouth each day, although, never coffee. I can't see the attraction.

The third line also reflects how I feel. I wouldn't want to look at people walking in and out of any store and wasn't a particular reflection of the people that walk into Timmies. As we all know, most that buy products at Timmies never leave their vehicles to do so.

The fourth line was intended to be good advice, the closer they live, the less gas they will burn travelling there. See the paragraph above.

I won a $100 gift card at Timmies on roll up the rim (on a medium cup of steeped tea on my first ever roll up the rim ) Unfortunately for Tim Horton's the card really showed us how much money we spend there. Not quite as much as some of the other posters but certainly enough to make a slight dent in the yearly budget (it was gone within the month!) Since then I take the time to program the coffee maker every evening so it's ready for us to get up in the morning. One $10 tin lasts about 3 weeks. Much better value!

Having a Timmies nearby is a handy place to eat when your wife refuses to feed you when you're out of Brownie Points!

They opened up a Timmies on the ground floor of my building at work. I could not believe the line-ups, and suspect that all the other food offering on campus have taken a severe hit on their income.

It is, however, perfect student fodder - cheap.

Unfortunately, those Honey Cruellers have turned out to be perfect ann m fodder too

There's also a thing on the internet that you can plan journeys around Timmies stops.

We've been known to detour just fro these

The only good thing about Timmies is that you can sneak in and use the bog without anyone noticing. Useful on road trips.

The coffee is foul.

I bet Novo would love to live within easy reach of their ham and cheese and mustard sandwiches.

I find their coffee bland to be honest. As somebody else mentioned, I find McDonalds coffee far more drinkable. However, their Ice Mocha's in summer are a bit addictive.

I've often wondered about the phenomenon that is T.H.'s & why so many Canadians are happy to sit in a car line to purchase a paper cup of the dubious product that is Tim Hortons coffee? The peak time for lines is often 7.30am onwards when many are going to work. Why, when chances are they have come from home & probably had a pot of coffee brewed, would they want to then line up for a cup of Hortons watery product?

There's always been the blurb about being traditionally Canadian. Until recent times that wasn't actually the case as the parent company were the same lot that owns the Wendys hamburger chain.

It is a conditioned thing from when they are little and onwards. My sister who came to Canada and never ping ponged like me, is truly Canadian. Her and her hubby have been taking the kids to timmies since they were babies, their eldest was allowed his 1st "double double" - I was doing the whole thing. At least I held my tongue and did not say ..."GET A LIFE"

We have a beautiful coffee bar at home, it makes espressos, cappo's, lattes, has a froffer and makes drip coffee or tea, it grinds the beans when it makes the drinks. I love it to be honest and i have been changing the types of bean i buy till i find the ones I like. It has been fun.

They are very dangerous. More sugar on them than donut, which I'm thinking might be bad for you

There's always someone to spoil the fun.
