Its that magical time of the year where you can report what prizes you've won, even if it was just a cookie.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Monday, 3 March 2003 20:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Is it back? I'm gonna have to start going to Tim Horton's again in the morning.

― mark p (Mark P), Monday, 3 March 2003 20:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Is this thread title meant to be rude?

I haven't won anything lately.

― jel -- (jel), Monday, 3 March 2003 20:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, I only got as far as "roll up to the rim" and couldn't go on due to aggravated tears of laughter.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 3 March 2003 20:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Is it ever back. They're ugly red this time round though.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Monday, 3 March 2003 20:18 (twenty-two years ago)

You are not helping my aggravated tears of laughter.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 3 March 2003 20:19 (twenty-two years ago)

I guess it wouldn't help if you knew one of the rewards was $1000.
Please note Mark knew exactly what I was talking about.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Monday, 3 March 2003 20:21 (twenty-two years ago)

It's a Canadian thing.

― mark p (Mark P), Monday, 3 March 2003 20:23 (twenty-two years ago)

I won a cookie last night, first time in monthes I order something other then an XL.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Saturday, 8 March 2003 23:55 (twenty-two years ago)

i won a free boston creme. it is the only thing i have ever won in my life. and i don't like boston cremes. crullers 4-EVAH!!!

― Dave M. (rotten03), Sunday, 9 March 2003 00:18 (twenty-two years ago)

i dont like tim hortons except for their crullers.

― anthony easton (anthony), Sunday, 9 March 2003 01:14 (twenty-two years ago)

What, are you some kinda Robin's Donut freak? :P

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Sunday, 9 March 2003 01:24 (twenty-two years ago)

I went a little roll-up-the-rim crazy last year (we were going back and forth on the 401 a lot) and all I won was a muffin.

― slutsky (slutsky), Sunday, 9 March 2003 01:38 (twenty-two years ago)

But I'm happy to hear that it's back.

― slutsky (slutsky), Sunday, 9 March 2003 01:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Cookie? Didn't you tell me it was a free coffee (which is the best of the small prizes etc.)?

― Kim (Kim), Sunday, 9 March 2003 02:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Nooooooooooooooooooooolllllllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnn....

― mark p (Mark P), Sunday, 9 March 2003 02:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Right now it doesn't matter what it was, I can't find it.

Only 2nd star of the night, whadda rip off. What does a man have to do on his debut to be #1?

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Sunday, 9 March 2003 02:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Who was first? Bertuzzi?

― mark p (Mark P), Sunday, 9 March 2003 04:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Yup. Nazland 3rd.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Sunday, 9 March 2003 04:22 (twenty-two years ago)

That line is so good it's appalling.

― mark p (Mark P), Sunday, 9 March 2003 04:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Whose? Vancouver or Leafs 2nd line? Im with Don Cherry on this one, screw Reichel, get Domi on that line.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Sunday, 9 March 2003 04:27 (twenty-two years ago)

The Naslund/Bertuzzi/Morrison line.

Although Antropov/Renberg/Nolan looked pretty goddamned good too. Now we just need Mats to wake up...

― mark p (Mark P), Sunday, 9 March 2003 04:31 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd like to see them trade Reinberg for a defenseman, or a goalie who isn't a sievelike. Belfour is years past his prime. If it wasnt for all those recent expansion teams his GPA would be 3 something probably.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Sunday, 9 March 2003 04:37 (twenty-two years ago)

What?!

― mark p (Mark P), Sunday, 9 March 2003 04:46 (twenty-two years ago)

GAA?

― Bryan (Bryan), Sunday, 9 March 2003 04:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Belfour's numbers are way better than Cujo's BTW, and Cujo's got a far superior defense in front of him.

Anyway Eddie's save percentage is a solid .920. The goaltender is the least of their problems.

This Reinberg guy, though...

― mark p (Mark P), Sunday, 9 March 2003 04:54 (twenty-two years ago)

GAA, GAA, GAA. I dunno, everytime I see Belfour in between the pipes they loose and its usually his fault. Can't blame him tonight considering who scored but hell if he is so good he should be able to hold the fort. I just miss Potvin in his first few years as a stater.

I wasn't much of a Cujo fan either, I guess I can forgive Belfour if he stands on his head in the playoffs when it counts.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Sunday, 9 March 2003 05:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Don't you kinda wince when you think of Belfour? I'm just waiting for him to freak out.

― Bryan (Bryan), Sunday, 9 March 2003 05:41 (twenty-two years ago)

i like the donuts , but for coffee i go to 2nd cup, esp. with that new mexican mocha thing.

― anthony easton (anthony), Sunday, 9 March 2003 05:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Why did you have to bring up donuts?

― Bryan (Bryan), Sunday, 9 March 2003 06:15 (twenty-two years ago)

And am I the only idiot who always wrecks the rim on those cups by chewing on 'em? It is fun to hand them in all soggy when I win, though.

― Bryan (Bryan), Sunday, 9 March 2003 06:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Um Bryan, them cups is not for eatin'.

― Kim (Kim), Sunday, 9 March 2003 06:20 (twenty-two years ago)

I did say I was an idiot!

― Bryan (Bryan), Sunday, 9 March 2003 06:20 (twenty-two years ago)

I recall no such conversation!

― Kim (Kim), Sunday, 9 March 2003 06:32 (twenty-two years ago)

See above. We're you trying to win something and now you can't sleep?

― Bryan (Bryan), Sunday, 9 March 2003 06:34 (twenty-two years ago)

I just knew this was a Noodles thread from the subject line. I have maybe won a cookie and one small coffee for all the hundreds of rim-rolling cups I have consumed in my days (that's enough, Dan).

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Sunday, 9 March 2003 15:45 (twenty-two years ago)

We just got Glen Wesley!

C'mon Pat, one more d-man...

― mark p (Mark P), Sunday, 9 March 2003 16:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Belfour's goaltending is superior to Cujo, I must say. And I kind of like Cujo.

― Nicole (Nicole), Sunday, 9 March 2003 16:06 (twenty-two years ago)

I like to Lever up the Lip and Lose.

Anyhow, back to the hockey derailment.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Sunday, 9 March 2003 16:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Okay then, Potvin is still my favorite Leafs goalie. "The Cat" is the coolest of hockey nicknames, and he was kind of hottt. Though Belfour I heart because he is an utter mentalist and emotional wreck who still manages to get the job done on most occasions.

― Nicole (Nicole), Sunday, 9 March 2003 16:30 (twenty-two years ago)

MIKE PALMATEER TO THREAD.

― Bryan (Bryan), Sunday, 9 March 2003 16:41 (twenty-two years ago)

¿belfour is an emotional wreck? i thought he was a drunk.

― dyson (dyson), Sunday, 9 March 2003 17:52 (twenty-two years ago)

That too.

― Nicole (Nicole), Sunday, 9 March 2003 18:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Palmateer couldn't stop a beachball. Wregget did a good job considering how decrepit the team was.
Belfour may be a drunk be he's got nothing on good olde Al Iafrate when he was a Leaf. I think they kept a bottle or two on the bench for him.

I still havent found my missing cup.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Sunday, 9 March 2003 19:19 (twenty-two years ago)

I was kidding about Palmateer. All-time worst Leaf player: Bill Root. We had a Bill Root fan club which consisted of me and my friend Chris. Anyone wanna join?

― Bryan (Bryan), Sunday, 9 March 2003 19:29 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't remeber Root, Im guessing he was one of those classic players backing up Rick Vaive and Wendel Clark? One of the all time worst Leafs was their captian, Rob Ramage.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Sunday, 9 March 2003 19:40 (twenty-two years ago)

oh Potvin, let me sing thy praises. i saw him back in St. John's right before he got sent to Toronto; by the third period most other teams would just kind of give up and go limp.

― Dave M. (rotten03), Sunday, 9 March 2003 20:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Dave M you a newfie?

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Sunday, 9 March 2003 20:45 (twenty-two years ago)

guilty

― Dave M. (rotten03), Monday, 10 March 2003 00:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Thats alright. There is somegirl with a MUN backpack who lives around the corner I see on the TTC all the time. It makes me miss NB a bit when Im in one of the rush hour sardine cars.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Monday, 10 March 2003 01:06 (twenty-two years ago)

It was indeed a coffee that I won. I found the washed up rim in the laundry I put away this morning. I could barely read it but they took it at the store.
Hurrah for me and my winning ways.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Monday, 10 March 2003 15:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Belfour's goaltending is superior to Cujo, I must say. And I kind of like Cujo.

A dog is a goalie. Uh huh.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Monday, 10 March 2003 15:57 (twenty-two years ago)

I know you're just being Ned, uh Ned, but Cujo = Curtis Joseph.

― Kim (Kim), Monday, 10 March 2003 15:58 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't follow your primitive barbaric sport enough to know of these amusing little nicknames you grant people. Do you still make the goal nets out of fishing twine and twigs? *hides*

(I actually like hockey as a sport because it's essentially soccer on ice, or vice versa or something.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 10 March 2003 16:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Ned with hockey hair would be GREBT!
He'd be like a blond Barry Melrose.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Monday, 10 March 2003 16:03 (twenty-two years ago)

What kind of goddamn crack are you ON? Some kind of cheap Canadian stuff cooked up by the type of people Dave Q specifically fled from, I'll bet.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 10 March 2003 16:05 (twenty-two years ago)

"Hockey without fighting is like a ballet on ice"
-Only someone (even if it was a Canadian) in LA could say that.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Monday, 10 March 2003 16:06 (twenty-two years ago)

I won yet another coffee yesterday.
Between yesterday and listening to Melville now Im just going to blankly stare at my computer monitor and smile.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Friday, 14 March 2003 15:56 (twenty-two years ago)

I haven't won anything! The cappucinos have been for nought.

― Nicole (Nicole), Friday, 14 March 2003 15:57 (twenty-two years ago)

(If I'm paying money to roll up to the rim, I'd DAMN WELL better be getting some luvin' in return.)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 14 March 2003 16:05 (twenty-two years ago)

You deny the power of coffee love?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 14 March 2003 16:06 (twenty-two years ago)

You keep you job and your rim thoughts seperate mister.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Friday, 14 March 2003 16:18 (twenty-two years ago)

And how is your noodle?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 14 March 2003 16:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Ned, its got to be what 9 in the morning for you?

My noodles are in the fridge, pad thai for lunch, yummy.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Friday, 14 March 2003 16:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Ned, its got to be what 9 in the morning for you?

8:30. And who needs coffee when there's stuff like this?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 14 March 2003 16:23 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't want your sick twisted perving on my thread. Tim Horton's roll up to win is akin to sacred happiness.

Go perv on Kate's threads, she likes it.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Friday, 14 March 2003 16:26 (twenty-two years ago)

I would be extraneous there.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 14 March 2003 16:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Well she can't perv on her own can she?
Im not sure I want to ask that question.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Friday, 14 March 2003 16:28 (twenty-two years ago)

I think you have outdone yourself.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 14 March 2003 16:33 (twenty-two years ago)

You've taken something sacred to most Canadians and a few New England area residents and twisted to your own needs and deprieved desires.
EVIL!

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Friday, 14 March 2003 16:36 (twenty-two years ago)

My mom entered me in a contest when I was a lad and I won a basketball, an ugly Gatorade dufflebag, and two tickets to a Bulls game.
A few months before that I won something through some Dunkin Donuts promotion...can't remember what though.

You may now return to discussing goalies...Hasek RULEZ U R ALL GAY!

Hey, hold on! Nicole is in Michigan and clearly she worships at the shrine too! Do not exclude.

No your too far south, you have to wait a year or so, upstate New York, Michigan, Ohio I believe have their share of Tim's.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Friday, 14 March 2003 16:50 (twenty-two years ago)

163 stores currently in New York, Ohio, Michigan, Maine, Kentucky & West Virgina. There was a NY Times article about getting that over 350 but I can't find it.

From Tim's website last year:
"150 in the U.S. (located mainly in the Buffalo, NY; Columbus, Ohio; and Detroit, Michigan areas."

What kind of muffin are you gonna get there, rogue-boy (**Bryan playfully pokes Noodles in the ribz and offers to buy him a drink or six the next time he sees him**)? It should be a blueberry burst!

― Bryan (Bryan), Monday, 17 March 2003 21:08 (twenty-two years ago)

fruit explosion!

actually, no. banana walnut rules all.

― mark p (Mark P), Monday, 17 March 2003 21:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Im going to buy a chocolatechip muffin and put it in the microwave and smother the poor thing in butter untill its incredibly unhealthy.

But the big question is what kinda donut you going to rock?

Do they have chocolate filled? I want to roll up the rim, win a donut, get one of those chocolate Boston creams, then sick my tongue in the hole and lick out that creamy brown goodness.

From http://www.nationalgeographic.com/coffee/article3.html
“Another native we have also picks with care,” Doyo told me over a superb cup of coffee. “The luak, that’s a small catlike animal, gorges after dark on the most ripe, the best of our crop. It digests the fruit and expels the beans, which our farm people collect, wash, and roast, a real delicacy. "

“Something about the natural fermentation that occurs in the luak’s stomach seems to make the difference. For Javanese, this is the best of all coffees—our Kopi luak.”

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Monday, 17 March 2003 21:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I didn't even say ONE SICK THING. You guys and your bum-play! I just like the feeling of my tongue going into the hole, especially when a little bit of the cream has come out as a sort of "lube".

― Bryan (Bryan), Tuesday, 25 March 2003 17:12 (twenty-two years ago)

I just won a coffee too. Fantastic. By the way, for those who are interested in what I finally decided on for the donut, it was a Boston Cream, because the location where I redeemed didn't have blueberry fritters.

Our receptionist today just mentioned that Tim's puts nicotine in their coffee to make them addictive. The sad thing is, I can see it...I drink these things like crazy.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Wednesday, 26 March 2003 16:12 (twenty-two years ago)

I won a muffin! I won a muffin! I won muffin!

I never win anything, so I felt so triumphant. Nobody should be that excited over a banana muffin.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Wednesday, 26 March 2003 16:14 (twenty-two years ago)

What are you talking about, Nicole? What else are we supposed to be excited about? That muffin is going to taste so SWEET. Sean, it's crack in there, I tell you!

― Bryan (Bryan), Wednesday, 26 March 2003 16:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Our receptionist today just mentioned that Tim's puts nicotine in their coffee to make them addictive. The sad thing is, I can see it...I drink these things like crazy.

The lesson here is don't listen to the receptionist.
MSG, Nicotine, crack, salt, monkey cum, I mean is there anything they DON'T put into Tim Horton's coffee?

That muffin will taste do I dare say, like VICTORY!

Where are you again, Nicole, that you have access to the glory of Tim's?

Michigan. In fact, the Tim's that I go to is directly across the street from my apartnment, so I'm lucky to have a cappucino dealer so close by. What would I do without my fix?

― Nicole (Nicole), Wednesday, 26 March 2003 16:21 (twenty-two years ago)

I ran out of Tim's coffee about three weeks ago--I had a giant amount sent to me. It was wonderful, delicious, and so satisfying to drink it out of my Tim's mug. Man, I sound like a commercial.

What I wouldn't give for a dutchie right now.

http://www.timhortons.com/english/content_2211.html#True

Tim Hortons coffee is more than just coffee - it's a part of people's lives and lifestyles. This is the basis for the popular "True Stories" series of TV commercials, which began airing in English Canada in 1997.

The series began with the story of Lilian, a lovely older lady who would walk quite a distance to get her Tim Hortons coffee. Over the years, viewers have enjoyed the true stories of Sammi, the loveable Golden Retriever; Natalie McMaster, a Canadian fiddling sensation; cowboys from Western Canada; Shorty Jenkins, the ice maker; surfers from Atlantic Canada and train engineers who couldn’t resist making an “unscheduled stop”. In the fifth "True Stories" commercial, Tim Hortons responds to the pleas of sailors in the Canadian navy, stationed in Kuwait, who miss home and the taste of Tim Hortons coffee. And most recently, viewers met David Mole, a Canadian student studying abroad at the University of Glasgow in Scotland.

Cruklers, (and I really mean crullers, but that's such a fantastic typo that I'm gonna leave it) they rock my honey glazed ass too.

I won a coffee today. Go me!

Hurray for Kim and her winning ways.
Back to mopping I go.

Free donut. First win of the season. I'm on the scoreboard.

― mark p (Mark P), Friday, 28 March 2003 04:18 (twenty-two years ago)

I won another donut today. Obviously I drink far too much coffee.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Friday, 28 March 2003 04:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Ha. Figures. It's been a dry couple of days, even though I've been rolling up the rim furiously.

A little joy jelly will fix that.

Those rims are pretty tight, they certainly could use some lube getting the prize exposed.

No, gross. XL one cream. Triple triple is for people who don't like coffee. (Mind you, so's one cream.)

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Tuesday, 1 April 2003 01:28 (twenty-two years ago)

You can drink it faster that way.

But you can't even read the tab! For all you know it might actually say PLEASE PLAY AGAIN.

s1ocki, if you are Toronto, you shouldn't be rimming tea or coffee, you should be beering instead! With ILX'n'shit!

(ps. I have levered up the lip and lost many times, though I have won one beige donut and one cookie.)

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 03:23 (twenty-one years ago)

see the "i'm in toronto" thread sean (not that it will give you any more information than this), unfortunately this is a very very brief trip and there is no time to roll up the beer rim and win good times.

I've only won one coffee so far, despite the fact that my purchases far outweigh the reputed "1 in 9" odds. As I was standing in line one morning about two weeks ago, a guy who had just been stabbed four times walked. right. by. me. He survived, but what a fucking mess... There was so much blood that everyone thought it was a joke and didn't try to help him.

And when I told my mum I had only won one coffee she accused Tim Hortons' of somehow diverting all the winning cups to eastern Canada. I like how every conversation with my mum boils down to how eastern Canada is responsible for hoarding things.

― fields of salmon (fieldsofsalmon), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 05:49 (twenty-one years ago)

And where in dear god do we hoard things? In our massive fleet of dories?

― fields of salmon (fieldsofsalmon), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 22:34 (twenty-one years ago)

But the Skydome is in Upper Canada, not eastern Canada.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 03:08 (twenty-one years ago)

We do not have the winning cups down here either. It is starting to become tragic just how few winners I've turned up this year considering I'm nearly bathing in the stuff this time out. The odds have definitely not been 1 in 9 so far this cycle; maybe they're unleasing more winners later as a result for patience.

Has anyone ever sat down and calculated the odds against the number of prizes listed? Do Canadians really drink 180,000,000 (or whatever it works out to) cups of coffee during the contest period? Doesn't that work out to something like three cups a day for every person in Canada? Shouldn't the streets be flowing with Timmy-flavoured pee?

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 03:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Shouldn't the streets be flowing with Timmy-flavoured pee?

Flavoured? Well...

Someone obviously got my memo above, because today I won a coffee. I'm about to go redeem it so I can be pleasantly overcaffeinated like Mr. Fields.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 19:12 (twenty-one years ago)

This Timmy flavoured pee sounds like something we could export to Germany. So far I've won one stinking coffee and of course I THREW OUT THE GODDAMN CUP.

I need to leave earlier in the morning - most of my chances to win are being foiled by the stupidly long line-ups at the only Tim's on my way to work. I actually drank a McDonald's coffee the other day in an emergency time saving situation. This is not good, people. Not good!

yay! The only place open downtown after I saw Stereolab last night was the 24hr Tim Horton at Dunsmuir and Seymour. I won a free cookie! I'm giving it to my partner, though, because she likes the cokies and I don't really.

Two years ago I won a free doughnut, and picked Canadian Maple.

SUCKO. I went to Tim's today and ended up with a newly redesigned cup...one without the Roll Up the Rim potential! Is this over? Has this been the suckingest suckfest in the history of Tim's prize-giving? Considering the amount of coffee I drank this time around I should have gotten way more than I got. I call boooooshit on those 1 in 9 odds.

i got the roll-up cup this morn. the only reason i've gotten anything this time around (okay i won 1 coffee) is cause me boss doesn't fancy donuts and gave all the free ones to me (like, 5).

dammit - a week later and a coffee every day and still de nada de winnah, but while waiting in line, i did see a guy screaming at and pretty much assualting a woman (who he didn't seem to know) just outside my Tim's. this was at 8am and she ran off into the cop shop right next door while some burly guy chased the first guy off. is there something making people go crazy around here or what?

It is the lack of de winnah that is making people going de nutto.

Tim Hortons Stock Jumps on 1st Trading Day

25 minutes ago

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Shares of Canadian coffee and doughnut chain Tim Hortons Inc. soared 30 percent Friday in their trading debut on the
New York Stock Exchange.

The shares, trading under the symbol "THI," rose to $30.11 in late morning trading, up from its initial public offering price of $23.16 per share set Thursday night. They traded as high as $33 earlier in the session.

The company is being spun off by corporate parent Wendy's International Inc., based in the Columbus suburb of Dublin. Tim Hortons sold 29 million shares, netting $671.6 million for a 15 percent stake in the company.

Wendy's, which bought Tim Hortons in 1995 in a deal worth $620 million, will continue to own about 160 million shares of the Tim Hortons shares, according to a filing this month with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Wendy's could reduce its stake to about 83 percent if the IPO's underwriters fully exercise an overallotment.

Wendy's plans to spin off its remaining stake to its shareholders by the end of the year, according to the SEC filing. Most of the money will be used to pay off debt Tim Hortons owes Wendy's.

Wendy's shares fell $2.20, or 3.4 percent, to $62.81 in morning trading on the New York Stock Exchange.

I'm deep in the heart of Brampton right now...My co-worker came in this morning and said Roll Up the Rim is her favourite time of the year after Christmas (or maybe it was the other way around). I always buy a small each morning; I've got to remember to switch over to a medium. By the way, when I showed this thread to her and she read the post above about the hot chocolate, she said that's totally wrong. I think Kim may have a lawsuit on her hands.

it can be any "hot beverage"! and also, according to the content website faq:
"I rolled up the rim and won with a "WIN COFFEE" tab – can I substitute this for another prize?
Yes. A "WIN COFFEE" tab can be redeemed for any size of any one hot beverage. No other substitutions are allowed. Not valid with any combos or other deals."

if you write to them, they will prob send you roll-up rim cup and who knows what else?

i only ever go to tim hortons when driving towards toronto or ottawa it seems! i need to do that before contest ends! i cannot even deal with their coffee on any level, so it's tea or hot chocolate for sure

― obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 22 February 2011 19:04 (fourteen years ago)

Agreed. But the steeped tea is quite acceptable to a moderate tea snob such as myself. Of course asking for "steeped tea" always brings on Seinfeld-type "what's up with that" thoughts. I mean how else can you serve tea? Raw? What's up with that?

now i really feel a need to roll up the rim. and eat a chocolate glazed donut. ohman.

are there more tim hortons in vancouver now? i remember there being not many at all in the city proper, but further out, yes. which is sad when all you want is a chocolate glazed.

There are tons in Vancouver now. There's one on Commercial Dr, several downtown. One on the corner of Main/Broadway, there's a drive-thru on Terminal near the skytrain, one next to the library etc. Pretty much everywhere. All in the last 3 or 4 years.

There was some community resistance to the one on Commercial Drive, taking business away from the older Italian joints or the hipster hangouts with "good" coffee. Locally respected fringe ranter Kevin Potvin kept writing about it in his paper which was kind of the last straw for me, in terms of picking it up. First point is that there is NOWHERE on Commercial Drive that sells doughnuts apart from Tims. I've got a right to eat what I like even if it is fried dough. The second point is that Tims makes coffee available for the really poor folks on the Drive, since their coffee is about $1.40 rather than $2.30 a cup, which is approx what everyone else sells it for. Third point is, can't you take your anti-corporate rant to some of the other big businesses on the Drive, of which there are many. EG. when was the last time anyone took down HR Block. I'm sure there's a lot of independent tax accountants that hate those guys.

Also: I think the whole two-chances-to-win thing is a ruse. The odds are supposed to be 1 in 6. I'd estimate I've bought 30-40 coffees the past month, and I've won three times--1 in 12, maybe (ignoring that it's 1 in 24 if you count each cup twice). I don't know how to do the math, but my guess is that the probability of a 1/6 event happening 1/12 times over 35 trials is low. I'm forwarding this post to Oliver Stone.
