got a donut today, went 1/2! oh sweet donut....mmmmmmm

Leto · 03-04-2007, 02:55 PM

0 / 3 as of today.

coffee time has a similar promotion going. prizes suck though (hot tub, Softron tax software, Days Inn in Vegas...)

godzilla23 · 03-04-2007, 05:41 PM

3 / about 20. Two coffees, and a donut.

TV is pretty much fried... really, really want the plasma TV. Or the car. Yeah, the car. I looooove hybrids. At least that's what I'll say when I win one.

splck · 03-04-2007, 05:47 PM

Daval · 03-04-2007, 07:27 PM

i'm now about 1/14 - free coffee today. woot.

Sticky · 03-07-2007, 07:31 AM

Another dissapointment

Daval · 03-07-2007, 07:52 AM

I'm somewhere in the 1 for 20 range right now. Anyone seen the prize distribution list this year? does Ontario get screwed again?

Lucifer · 03-07-2007, 09:57 AM

Because I don't have a car this winter, I find myself drinking a whole lot less Tim's. Thankfully there is a Tim's outlet on campus, where just this morning I had my second Tims of this campaign and discovered that I am a whopping 0 for 2!

m0rpheus · 03-12-2007, 01:25 AM

Wooo! My first win of the year! A free coffee.

highthief · 03-12-2007, 08:12 AM

I got a free coffee! Whee!

Sticky · 03-14-2007, 06:11 AM

Another loss. I am 0 and I don't know how many

(added on3/15/2007)
And another

(added on3/16/2007)
Woohoo, the streak is finally broken.
So it is true, there are winning cups.
I won a free cup. I don't want anybody calling me for handouts now, you understand?

Leto · 03-16-2007, 06:59 AM

ding! Un Beigne!

that's 1/13.

***
note: poor Charlatan is missing all the fun....

Daval · 03-16-2007, 07:09 AM

I have won a total of 2 times out of at least 40 cups (2 cups per day every day, sometimes more on the weekends if I am buying coffee for the wife and hot chocolates for the kids). This has to be the worst year for wins I have ever had.

Charlatan · 03-17-2007, 04:14 PM

0/0 this year!

Sticky · 03-23-2007, 05:33 AM

A few more losses

Leto · 03-23-2007, 09:42 AM

ding ... 2 / 14 ( a coffee this time)

canuckguy · 03-23-2007, 03:44 PM

just an update....

2/19 so far, both wins were donuts....

my co-worker is a big fat 0/18.

Daval · 03-26-2007, 06:16 AM

this is by far my worst year for roll up the rim. Have they lowered the chances of winning by chance? I'm still only at 3 wins for like 60-70+ coffee's

highthief · 03-26-2007, 08:39 AM

I won another coffee! I'm so excited ...

m0rpheus · 03-26-2007, 09:38 AM

What a good weekend for me.

Friday evening I bought a coffee, and won a free coffee.
Used the free coffee Friday night and won another free coffee.
Used that Saturday morning and... won a free coffee.
Used that Saturday night and... yup won a free coffee. Still have the stub in my wallet to use today on the way to work

Leto · 03-26-2007, 01:22 PM

oh no! Wait 'till next year again???

Lucifer · 03-26-2007, 01:32 PM

Sticky · 03-29-2007, 09:09 AM

I tried a bigger size...lost again

cdnjeepin · 04-04-2007, 06:10 AM

I am at like 0 for 30...i think they need to look at there odds...I think they are a tad wrong..supposed to be 1 in 9...yeah right...last year I never won anything either...

Leto · 04-04-2007, 12:32 PM

I'm now at 4 for about 20.

Bossnass · 04-04-2007, 02:51 PM

It isn't even funny anymore. I have gone the entirety of the last two years and this year without a single win. It is a 5+ per week habit, last year was more. People all around me are winning. I have to be approaching 0 for 200.

Leto · 04-05-2007, 09:35 AM

Last Friday, an employee of my company went across the street to the very same Tim's that I have spent the majority of my loose change at, and won a car.

This was at the Tim's on Victoria Park, just south of Sheppard in Toronto.

DesertDave · 04-05-2007, 07:48 PM

0 for 30 then won a coffee at 31 and a donut at 34. That's all I've won and tonight I was at 72 buys. That is a 1/36 odds pace, four times worse than the advertised 1/9 odds.

Damn! I hate that guy now. I've been there often enough.

I think it was a lady... Friday mornings at about 8:15... that's when I'm usally there.

Charlatan · 04-07-2007, 07:12 PM

I've been to that one and never won anything... it's right around the corner from my mother-in-law's place.

blahblah454 · 04-30-2007, 05:58 AM

I know its a little late but I didn't see this thread before. You are all going to be mad. A girl in a couple of my petroleum classes won a car, yea thats right. She won one of the freakin cars.

Leto · 05-01-2007, 01:11 PM

I agree, maybe we should adopt an easily recognizable article of clothing. Something like a red or blue bandana may work... Or a lapel sticker that say's Hello, I'm on TFP.....

tenniels · 05-10-2007, 06:31 PM

I had seen on the news a little plastic contraption made specifically to roll up the rim on Timmy's coffee. I thought it was fantastically Canadian. And I know this is old, but I'm a new poster (although a long time reader). I love those things where you just shake your head and say, only in Canada.

Sticky · 02-27-2008, 10:05 AM

Alright, it is that time of year again.
I have not picked up my first yet.

Any of you rolled up and won this season?

tenniels, did you buy one of those plastic contraptions?

Charlatan · 02-27-2008, 04:41 PM

(sigh)

blahblah454 · 02-27-2008, 06:05 PM

Was that a positive or negative sigh Charlatan? You just miss the timmys is that it?

I think this is the greatest "buy more coffee!" idea ever made. I don't even drink coffee and I want to buy one when tims has this on.

Sticky · 02-27-2008, 06:22 PM

it is not only the greatest buy more coffee idea, it is also the greatest come here instead of the other places idea.

Brilliant.

Charlatan · 02-27-2008, 10:00 PM

The sigh was because there is no Tim Horton's here...

On Sticky's comment... apparently Coffee Time has launched a similar roll up the rim campaign but has also said they will give a free coffee to anyone presenting them with a losing Tim Horton's cup.
