Heeeeey...I resemble this remark...lol Tims is my preferred coffee but I like to make it at home personally. But I also like other types of coffee and tea is yummy too...but with our winters honestly warm drinks are a must at times.
Never had Timmies (no locations near me here in the Midwest), but it can't be worse than Starbucks! That stuff tastes like they roasted the dirt instead of the beans!
@Toes14 I have had both...not a fan of star bucks. Their coffee tastes like it was left on the burner too long for my liking and it is often too sweet? Also I kind of like being able to say I want a large and not have someone look at me funny. Where I am Tim Hortans are basically like Star bucks are to other places...4 to 5 tims in a 4 block radius. Compared to the 2 star bucks we have in our entire city. (and one is going to be closing soon because they were not getting enough business) And the price...I can get a large tim's for about 2 dollars or so...and Starbucks its quite a bit more.
@Thesunmaid It's interesting here, we have 2 standalone Starbucks, 2 standalone and 2 in store Timmies(1 in the mall, 1 standalone on mall property and 1 in Wal-Mart just across the highway from the mall and 1 standalone across the road from Wal-mart. You can see the signs for all 4 at the same time pretty much if you get on the roof at the mall) on the south side. Downtown is Timmies(2 standalone, 1 in the hospital) and independents(want to say 5 independent cafes), plus 1 newer Starbucks. North side is 1 standalone Timmies, and 1 more in the town like 5 minutes away.
That all is for a city of like 63k, with a few more k right around it.
I don't mind Starbucks, but for the price I'd rather get Timmies a few times
