Subject: It's A Conspiracy. To Put A Tim Horton's Donuts On Every Street Corner Between
Written By: c_keenan2001@hotmail.com on 03/13/15 at 7:20 pm
Cobourg, Ontario and Oshawa, Ontario! >:(
Let me explain?
I went with my mother to Bowmanville to take our vacume cleaner in for repairs then we went on to try and find some foam to upholster some chairs that we have and what do I see on every street corner between here and Oshawa? A f**king Tim Horton's Donut shop on every street corner between Bowmanville and Oshawa. I mean WTF is this? It's a conspiracy is what it is?

I haven't seen this phenomenon nearly as much since I moved back to Nebraska, but when I lived down in Kansas City it almost seemed like I couldn't throw a rock without hitting a Sonic Drive-In. :P

I'd rather put my money into a locally owned fair trade and organic coffee shop. At least I know that the famer who grew the coffee got a fair price for their wares.

Would you rather a Dunkin Donuts instead?

No! ::) Just give me a coffee from a local coffee house and it makes me happy everytime. I wouldn't ever support some of these huge corporate conglomerates because it makes me wonder and think about whether or not the farmer who grew the coffee beans got a fair price for his/her wares.

We have Tim Horton's in my state now and I've never tried their food yet, but they're often combined with Cold Stone Creamery and that's the only time I was ever in one. Starbucks is the one that's everywhere. Really, every grocery store and Barnes and Noble has one in it.

Starbucks is in fact everywhere, but back when I lived in Ohio there was a Tim Hortons nearby. I really liked their donuts, but I didn't get a chance to try their coffee. I was too young to have acquired a taste for it back then. I drink it now, though.

We have 4 Tim Hortons in Cobourg and I'm glad that I didn't bring my bag with me because I'm pretty sure that I would have been in the convenience store or the Tim Hortons buying god knows what with my money!

In my city, there is exactly 26 Tim Horton's locations. I don't drink coffee, so I just go for the food and I can never say no to donuts lol
When I was a kid, Tim Horton's was called Tim Horton Donuts and they only sold Coffee/Tea, Drinks (pop, juice and milk) and Pastries (they used to have these éclair's called Bow Ties that a lot of people wish they still made). In the late 80s, they renamed themselves Tim Horton's (and started serving soups and sandwiches) because, well, by that point if you didn't know Tim Horton's sold donuts, then what the hell kind of Canadian are you that you don't know what Tim Horton's is? lol
In America, they are branded Tim Horton's Café and Bake Shop because the franchise is still rather new there and not all Americans know what or even who Tim Horton is/was
