Tim Horton's  is a Canadian Coffee and Donut shop of the first order. His paper coffee cups have a r-r-r-im you can roll up for a possible prize win. The name of the prize is written under the rim, not the actual prize itself, in case you were wondering about the afore mentioned boom-box. We had some authentic Tim Horton Drive-Throughs in Maine. When I was a tax preparer driving across that Pine Tree State, his coffee kept me awake some early frigid mornings.   And the occasional donut helped me maintain a level of body insulation for those below zero commutes. Except for Micky D's we have no drive-thrus in my part of NY.  Now, drive-bys are more of a NY thing.

Just one clarification: the roll up the rim cups are only available during a special campaign in  the spring, not year-round.

For the record those in Western Canada don't drink Timmy's coffee we're snobs that way ..... lol seriously though I really don't like their coffee .... McDonalds is better if you can imagine that .  I don't drink either  ! But if I did.   Just sayin 

[pnutts]

I prefer Tim Horton decaf large with triple creme or the French Vanilla capaceno or ice capaceno in hot weather, if I get one at all.

Never liked Macky D's coffee before they improved it, still no fond of it.

My wife ( a Californian by birth ) really likes Tim bits and maple flavored donuts at Timmies

Some participating McD's used to use Paul Newman's own, now most, if not all use McCafe / Premium (by Gavina?) They advertise a fresh pot every 30 minutes. Tim Horton's is 20 minutes. AS for the r-r-r-oll up the rim, I am not sure it was just a spring promotion, the last time I got one in Maine. But some Maine springs were still just as frigid as many locations in Canadia.  As for the territories, as a child I was familiar with Yukon, and Northwest, but I never learned None-of-it.

2 more for the pot.

Did you see that video of idiot Americans driving while filming a moose running down the road in Minnesota?

Even Canadians know better than that.

I resemble that remark, I drive a silver Ford minivan.  Going to do that later today but sign will say west to London when coming home.

Not quite me. Not a hockey fan and don't like beer ( except Root Beer )

No igloos. Really confuses Americans coming across the border in July with "Snow Skis" on top of their car.

Oh, did I mention they were from NY State - just across the bridge?

[pnutts]

Yup. Churchill has reputation of polar bears sharing the community.

It is all in your perspective.

Snirt. Or until it warms up a bit above freezing next week.

I am a law clerk and deal with CTC's trademark searches and applications on a daily basis, so seeing this made me snort.

[pnutts]

Just going to head out. Here we come Timmies. Hot French vanilla cap and Timbits. Yummmmm.

You Canadians are behind times. Here in the States "Large" is never good enough, "Make that SuperSize please!" Same can be said for our waist bands.

To think they actually deliberately put ice on this truck

[50gumbys]

North Bay always fascinated me - middle of a huge snow storm - people driving straight into snowbanks.

Problems?

No way - just hop out shove it back onto the road - and drive away.

Hilarious!
