Would you eat donuts from Tim Horton ?

[whocares]

Used to be a Tim Hortons the town over. Then it changed to Bess Eaton. That was like holy roller coffee, they put bible verses on the cups. I would drive all the way over there before school because their coffee was better, and the longer drive I got to smoke more cigarettes. If you didn't smoke butts in high school, you a bitch

 

[pugilistico]

No. When we take over Canada we should replace all the Tim Hortons with American donut franchises!

The fuck is a Tim Horton?



Keep your grubby 3rd world shit to yourselves or we’ll annex you into our country and knock down all your restaurants replace them with Arby’s as far as the eye can see

Damn …. That escalated quickly

Tim Hortons is terrible these days, they are flash frozen and reheated and taste dry and bland. The location near my house keeps shrinking the selection to a point where they have less then 5 options for doughnuts. It used to be a place where they made home made and had a huge selection to pick from.

I was in Toronto a few weeks ago. I was forced to try them. I don't eat donuts, but when in Rome. I was totally underwhelmed. No different than Dunkin Donuts IMO. Too sweet, sugary junk.

Tim Hortons is absolutely the Dunkin Donuts of Canada.

A couple decades back, Krispie Cream moved into Canada in a huge way, popping up all over and with lineups of cars waiting hours to get them with their overly glazed (sugary) donuts.

It scared the crap out of Tim Hortons, who was the dominant with little competition and they doubled the glaze (sugar) in their donuts. And while Krispie Cream proved to be only a fad and went bankrupt in Canada almost as fast as it boomed, with only a handful of stores still existing now as stand alone, Tim Hortons kept the overly glazed donuts after that.

Not quite, Tim Hortons was sold off to a mega corporation who owns other crap chains like Burger King and they immediately changed the products to make them as cheap as possible. They went flash frozen doughnuts and killed off anything that couldn't be mass produced on the cheap.

They ditched the coffee supplier for someone cheaper and McDonalds Canada scooped up the supplier and a huge amount of people went to McDs. Starbucks also massively expanded which took a large amount of sales as well.

Nowdays Tim Hortons is slowly re introducing some slightly higher quality foods (the chicken noodle soup is no longer a package of dry noodles with powder) but the damage is already done. Only boomers go to Tims and it's slowly dying off.

All of what you say other than about the coffee could be true, but does not change what i said.

The Tim Hortons donut as it existed in 2001, regardless of any changes it had prior, was changed to add way more glaze (sugar) when Krispie Kreme became a booming phenomena with their super glaze donuts.

For the record though, McDonalds did not take on the Tim Coffee and instead went on a pretty huge publicized hunt for the best coffee they could find (at scale) for that market. I happen to think they did a good job on that and McD's coffee is pretty good for a chain coffee. But they did use the Tim Hortons prior bean roaster and that is where the myth came from.

I don’t know who Tim Horton is. But if he had donuts I would eat them.

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

Once and a while I do.

 

[Neck&Neck]

Haven’t stepped foot in a Tim Nortons in about 7 years now
Fuck em
They were good like 20 years ago, when they still made stuff in house

Lots of way better independent coffee and donut places around instead

 

[Mock Artwork]

Donuts are disgusting. That’s a hard pass.

The coffee though? Delicious.

 

[Versez]

Burger King are currently struggling to stay open … I wonder what might happen to Tim Hortons …

 

[ssBaldy]

I rarely eat doughnuts. Last time was about 2 years ago. Way too sweet and calorie-dense.

It's been about 3 years for me. The calorie, fat and sugar content is off the charts. Taste great but not worth it.

Looks nice, yes I would.

you sound fat.
