hope your phone camera is capturing some tantalizing southern French images....

Last week I made the following joke at work.

Co-Worker: "Man, my cups always tell me to 'Pleae try again'. This blows."

Me: Yeah? Mine told me to burn things.

Who knew I wasn't alone?

Swear to it in court and let's launch a class-action. There's gotta be at least a box of Tim-Bits in it for everyone.

I am also on a multi-year loosing streak.

And, no, I did not blow anything up in TO.

Another live un-rolling....


Nope...nothing new in my world

I've been going to Timothy's for the last week or so. My Tim's dissapointments have driven me away.

I always wondered how a place can open up and call itself Timothy's.
I originally thought that is was a division of Tim's but someone told me that I was wrong.

Why didn't Tim's sue?

Timothy's has been a gourmet coffee chain (before starbucks was on every street corner) in the states for years... starbucks seems to have replaced most of 'em...

Wasn't it Albert Einstein who said the defintion of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result.

maybe it's time to switch to a different coffee place :D

I've switched to beer...

good canuckistani citizen... :D

Any good French beers?

I went to my neighbourhood drive thru this morning (why I still go to the local Tims is beyond me, they are rude, surly, and they constantly fuck up my order) and they put sugar in my coffee! 'Course I didn't notice this until I was on the TCH, so when I got to where I was going, I poured the offending coffee out on the ground, and rolled up the rim. DING! Free coffee! Now with any kind of luck that the universe is going my way today, this one will roll up to show a plasma tv and later I can post in the "Ding! got some thread"...

I've been on an extended dry spell. I'm only at 4 or 5 wins this round, normally I end the campaign with around a dozen or so. I've never won anything larger than a coffee

Ding! free coffee this morning. Unfortunately, it was the cup that I purchased for my colleague...

Tried the Caramel chocolate doughnut as well. The caramel is a little bit sweet. I think it would be better if the caramel was drizzled on top of the chocolate, and there was cream puff filling....

I've been wanting to try that one, thanks for the review!

Gah! You're making my teeth hurt, just reading that.

I assumed it was Canadian - their central facilities are located in Toronto, and there are tons of them here.

I liek Timothy's far more than Starbucks or Second Cup - I have no idea why Starbucks thinks burning the coffee and charging a premium for the service makes good sense.

hehe. mine were aching too. mmmmmm doughnuts.


as far as Timothy's goes, I like their coffee, especially the strong. What i really don't like is that every time I come close to a Timothy's kiosk in a mall, all that I can smell is their hazelnut flavoured coffee. It's too overpowering and I end up just steering clear of them.

I agree... I really don't like Starbucks coffee. The coffee I like best is from the small Toronto chain called, The Roastery. They consistently make the best coffees and lattes (as far as I'm concerned).

Second Cup and Timothy's come second as I see them as pretty much the same thing. Year's ago I used to think Timothy's was just a fancy Tim Horton's (much like Richard D ice cream vs. Dicky Dee).

1st win in two years....a cup of coffee...and I don't even care for their coffee.

Oh well.

the cups have dissapeared for the season anywhere around here.

I hate roll up the rim to win.... I've bought 16 extra large hot chocolates and have won nothing, not even a donut. Last year was my record year... 17 times in a row. The guy I'm working with is on his 4th in a row. I need to start buying Large double creams.

According to the website: http://www.timothys.ca/Content/aboutUs.asp

Timothy's is Canadian. There is no mention of US operations.

I saw a sign out in far-South-Eastern Connecticut. Here's an article from 2004:

I was rushing, I didn't stop in.

I saw my first Roll up the Rim commercial yesterday.

Spring is in the air.

Well, i got my first Roll up the rim this morning and so far I am 0 for 1. I'm drinking my second now but I'm a good hour away from finishing that one.

Biggest prize i've ever won is a donut.

It's that time of year already??

--hmmm is there a Timmy's in Jamaica? (March Break trip destination).

My guess would be.... no.

No Tim's here anymore... sadly I will not be able to lose at roll up the rim this year.

I wonder which Tims is the closest one to you, geographically. Would it be the one in Afghanistan?

I bought a cup yesterday and lost again.

My streak continues

i'm 0 for 6 so far. darnit.

I'm 0/3 plus two years. Wife's co-worker won $1000 already.

already this year? you mean she won 500$ twice or there is a 1000 prize?

Maybe one of us should mail you one of our losing rims for a little slice of home for you :lol:

I assume it was one win, I don't know for sure. I asked if she won anything yet, she told me she hasn't had a tims for awhile, but a nurse that has been on her ward won $1000.

I go ever morning for me and a co-worker, i kept the spreadsheet from last year where at one point i was on a terrible 0/26 streak before FINALLY winning a effing donut. this year so far I am 1/3 with a free coffee this morning.

ooohhh sweet coffee.

actually, my bad, the prize is 1000$.

Damn....0/2

Sigh, 0/3. On the bright side a co-worker that I give a ride into work everyday has been buying my morning coffee so I may be losing but atleast I'm losing on his dime :lol:
