Nope, just a genuine lived experience. My partner and I usually go to A&W for breakfast stuff, and this was just an unusual circumstance. Since it just happened in my recent memory, and I saw the comment above, I thought I'd chime in. You know, the kind of thing that social platforms were designed for.

How dare someone describe a personal experience that doesn't match the narrative!

My partner and I generally do A&W for on the road breakfast, but this was an unusual morning and Tim's was way more convenient this time. And then, for the donuts, I mean I didn't pay for them.

I actually can't compare to 15 years ago personally.

I actually am super proud of some sweeping changes my partner and I have made to our diets in the past year or two. We're eating way less processed food, probably 3x more fruit and veg, and a lot less red meat. Lost 32 lbs so far!

I think Tim's hit the nadir in quality around 5-10 years ago. Everything since then has been a dead-cat-bounce - that is, they've gotten better simply because it was mathematically and chemically impossible to get worse. Like their various fried or scrambled egg additions are something approaching normal food, which is a huge improvement.

But "better" and "improvement" does not mean they're anything close to "good".

Hm a few years or so, don't know exactly when the last time I would have had it. We used to go to Tim's for on the road breakfast but a few years ago starting being really disappointed by it, switched to A&W.
