Tim Horton’s
How can people drink and eat their wretched swill? The coffee tastes like bitter dishwater and I won’t even want to think of all the chemicals there are in their pastries. Their soup is blander than Steven Harper and the sandwiches have the texture of

Hey – it’s cheaper than laxatives and just as effective. My pet peeve is with the women that insist on calling their Tim’s coffee – ‘Timmies’. I cringe every time I hear that. East Coasters already have the reputation of being slow – please please knock it off with the timmies!
Well that may be the stupidest dribble I have ever heard in my life. I work at Tim’s and I can guarantee there is no MSG in the coffee…thats, uh….insane! Secondly, if you don’t like everything they have to offer so much, then don’t go. Is someone forcing you to go to Tim’s everyday? Is there no other coffee establishment you can frequent? Like seriously….there’s way too many people out there that bitch for the sake of it. Get a Life….
Don’t like the product, DON”T drink it shithead. If you don’t like the East Coast, move to the West Coast. Sounds like you’re a bit of a homosexual whiner anyway. See ya!!
well, that was the most interesting way I have ever heard of Tims’ food/drinks being described.. but all that aside, man does the coffee taste goooooood… gotta have it everyday… oh yeah… Tim’ssssss… uh yeah, go to Starbucks then if you want ‘sweet’ dishwater and pastries that don’t taste like ‘dried tortoise fetus tofu’ (yikes!) for $19.99….
No MSG, but it’s been proven that there’s nicotine in it. This was about 5 years ago, so it may have changed. FYI.
Nicotine? You people are crazy….it has not been proven…speculation is not proof. Show me this so called “study” that proves this “fact”. Coffee is coffee…that is it.
I concur with the original writer. And to “like my morning java” — what does being homosexual have anything to do with this topic?
Granola-munching dirty-haired pretentious tit. Go mix up some greens and take a smelly shit.
Jesus, there is no MSG in the coffee, it would taste salty if they did that. Sure, it’s not the best coffee in the world, but if people like it, who cares? Christ sakes, what’s with everyone getting so hung up on shit that affects then not at all? Get coffee wherever you want, no need to bitch about what other ppl like.Btw, the nicotine and MSG thing was an urban myth. CBC even looked into it. Why anyone would believe that is beyond me. Hmmm Maybe, some people like Tims coffee? I don’t mind it myself, although I do keep getting really old stuff out here. That is my only complaint. Coffee isn’t supposed to sit on a hotplate for hours after it is brewed. Not following HQ’s 20 min rule.
Who is the fucking idiot who said that there was nicotine in Tim’s coffee? Oh man, you gotta get out more!
It’s great for stripping paint. That’s about it.And those frigging speciality donuts. Edible oil product anyone?
there’s something in the coffee, don’t drink it, have it tested
