Tim Horton's?...I envy you! I hear that it's the same parent company as Wendy's so I can't understand why they don't open one in Downtown Chicago...they'd make out like bandits.

Briefly, Wendy's and Tims were owned by the same company, but Wendy's spun off Tims to public shares due to the high profitability of Tims just before Wendy's was bought out by another company.

I grew up within blocks of the first Tims and it's been a bitter sweet affair. I recently ended a 10yr boycott resulting from that crappy steeped tea barf they started selling. Now, I just have my half coffee/half hot chocolate and Tim and I are best friends again, but I'll never again have a Walnut Crunch.

I have tried drinking Tim Hortan's coffee. I classify it right along with Instant Coffee. It is amazing how advertising can make a bad cup of watery coffee sound like a great national drink. There doughnuts aren't so bad though if you scrape of the sugary icing,

Meh. I've heard tons of like/love/hate stories about coffee in general. As an official 'I don't care what coffee I drink as long as it makes my hot chocolate taste good' person, Tims is ok in my book. I don't drink coffee straight.

Word of advise. Don't EVER go to Krispy Kreme for a doughnut. If you think Tims are too sugary, you'll die of an overdose at KK.

BTW, advertising doesn't have to make it 'sound' like a national drink. Tims average annual profit does that.

Wooot! Adding another free coffee to my tally.

It's a secret plot by a Canadian company to take over the world. Patrons receive coded marching orders under the rolled paper lip of their coffee cups. Prepare for polite subjugation by our Northern Overlords, eh?

Sunjugation, you say? What's all that aboot?


But yes, even if I have to pay for it, I'll take coffee from a real cup and a slab of apple pie at Intermezzo, any day.

1 out of maybe 40 for me and it was just another coffee

I won a free doughnut but since I refuse to eat their precooked then frozen for shipment doughnuts I handed it to someone walking in the door. That being said between myself and my wife we probably had a grand total of 5 chances to win.
I firmly fall into the category of those that can't stand their plain coffee, but I do like the cafe mocha there. The only place I've ever had a worse cup of black coffee was at a place called "Bagel Cafe" where I wasn't about to take more than two sips before it found it's way to the trash.

Hey, go easy on Krispy Kreme! It's a Southern thing. FWIW we don't care if y'all like sweet tea either...

I have to side with David, on this one. Krispy Kreme is awesome.

And my mom's best friend's college roommate's grandmother is the one who came up with the original recipe, or so I hear. True story. ith:

Only a doughnut for me, but I don't really go to Tim's very often (maybe on the occasional weekend).
