0/0 now. I think not drinking coffee really limits my chances of winning anything. Now, if I could win something by buying crullers, I might go there more often.

How to win Roll-Up-The-Rim-To-Win:

Step one: Multiply the cost of your Tim Horton's purchases by the number of times you frequent Tim Hortons, for example, "$5 x 250 = 1250"

Step two: Stop drinking take out coffee. You now have $1,250. Buy a TV.

Step three: Hooray!! You're a winner!!

I have this same approach to the lottery as a result of watching my grandparents get back about half of what they spend on the damn things. Sure, you could win a million dollars, but you'll probably win nothing so buy something useful instead.

Hrmm, so someone simply stating they don't like timmies coffee is treating you like 'unwashed peasant scum'? Really?

You should probably lay off the coffee, you seem a wee bit uptight.

It's like the Christians who interpret the existence of gays as a signal that they're not allowed to believe in God anymore, so they feel scared and lash out at others.

Well all I gotta say is I went to McDonald's today and Rolled up the Rim....and nothing. I couldn't believe it! Kinda like the place they call Timmy's!

No, perhaps I should have been clearer.

If someone says "I don't like Tim Hortons, it's rubbish" then that's fine. It's a free country.

If someone says "I don't like Tim Hortons, it's rubbish and people who drink it are simple-minded dolts who don't know shit about coffee" then you are being elitist, and even though it's a free country you're still a dick.

I'm at 4/7, lost both cups bought at UWO today. It's a conspiracy... they don't send winning cups to universities. Pass it on.

I ran out of coffee the other day and decided to grab a Tim Horton's cup as I walked by a downtown location. It was my first time rrrrrrolling this year, and I won a free coffee! The experience overall was still kinda sobering, though, 'cause half the people in there looked like they were about to win diabetes.

I hate Tim Hortons donuts. They're mushy and kind of tasteless. I had a deep-fried Walnut Crunch at Robins Donuts today. It was heavenly.

If their system not only produces inferior donuts but also costs more than I have to consider it a bad business decision, and I'm not going to patronize a corporation that behaves as recklessly as that.

Here is the hierarchy of doughnuts (never had Robins).

Krispy Kreme > Dunkin Donuts > Tim Hortons

Nothing beats freshly baked doghnuts at a neighbourhood bakery.


Actually yes, nothing beats freshly baked doghnuts sold in bakeries of Spanish and Greek towns and cities.

When I came back from europe and had a tim's doghnut I realized how pathetic it really was.

Hmm. In my fourth year at Western (2009), I had my best Roll-up-the-Rim year ever, but then I was mostly buying coffees from the Tim Hortons in the lower part of the UCC (by the Book Store). Try buying some coffee there, and the bonus is there's much less of a lineup than at the main floor location.

The year 2010 was a coffee-stained write-off.

I SECOND THIS. They used to be so good. I have re-discovered Safeway donuts. They are actually quite good. Beyond that, I LOVE the local bakery donuts as well.
