But actually I believe Australia has a similar thing, correct @gooblax?

More like wasting water and paper since 1964. Terrible excuse for coffee.

They still sell a whole lot of it.. there like 100 tims for every SNOBbucks in Canada!

Buy McCafe. It’s what Horton’s used to taste like before it became swill.

Maybe Tim Hortons coffee has Chicken Bones candy flavor on the east coast

 

[GaryQ]

Out east when I was a teenager Dunkin Donuts was the place. They probably had millions of coffee cups stolen over the years. Still remember when they came out with dunkin munchkins. I wasn’t a coffee drinker at the time but a bucket of munchkins would go down with a bottle of Pepsi.

And Starbucks and all those snobby expensive cafés and coffee places I’m not paying for a cup of coffee what I pay for a whole tub of coffee on sale just to be cool and in. Add some chocolate milk and or whipped cream and you get better at home for pennies on the dollar.

I rarely even grab a Timmies anymore. usus’ly just to have something to drink on the drive in and out of Wimnipeg. And dentist has made that impossible this last month

 

[David Baxter PhD]

My point above was it's not like it's just a choice between Starbucks and Hortons. Have you ever tried McCafe? It's actually better than Hortons and the same price or cheaper.

 

[Daniel E.]

And McDonalds has great tea. Only $1 for a large while Starbucks, Burger King, and everyone else wants almost $3.

 

[GaryQ]

I'm still psychologically marked and traumatized by what their coffee used to taste like. I mean how can a multi-billion dollar corporation take 50 years to figure out their coffee tasted like dirty dish water?

Sure they got it right one day some years ago. But a Tim's drive through is easier to get to, easier to get through and McD's annoying "would you like fries with that" just drives me bats... If I wanted fries I would have ordered a meal or said I want fries.

All joking aside getting a coffee at McD's is like going to the dentist... Sure things have gotten better but I'm still traumatized by both

And once a month or so when I want one on the road there's always a Timmies on my path. Right next to my doctor, leavingtown from that end and one next to my dentist. and my dentist has a Keurig. Free coffee if I can get one down before I get called in which always seems earlier than my appointment time if I decide grab a coffee there :facepalm:

American explores Canadian grocery store (tries BAGGED milk and Ketchup chips) - YouTube

 

[GaryQ]

The look on his face when he saw the milk was hilarious :lol:

 

[David Baxter PhD]

Things I learned from this video:

1. Americans walk reeaalllly slow in parking lots.
2. Lots of things with the same name taste very different in Canada and the US (I sort of already knew that. Even McDonalds tastes different in the US. The sauces, even BBQ sauce, are very different.)
3. Nabisco and Christie are actually made by a company called Mondelez International. Who knew?

And we do have Little Debbie Swiss Rolls up here.

And Americans are very hungry, hence the need to eat in the parking lot before going home.
