I also thought Tim Hortons was incredibly mid and Canadians love that shit so what so I know. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] UpAndAtThem@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago I tend to describe Tim Hortons coffee as 'tepid dumpster juice' permalink fedilink source parent [–] mjr@infosec.pub 2 points 1 week ago Timmie's flavoured lattes are so sweet that it's probably sugar addiction. permalink fedilink source parent [–] kestrel7_7@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* They have this ad that “only 2% of the world’s coffee is good enough for Starbucks” but the real stat is more like “Starbucks uses 2% of the world’s coffee” 😂 permalink fedilink source parent [–] HerbGrower@slrpnk.net 1 point 1 week ago (1 child) People who like coffee flavoured things but not coffee. But why go to a massive international corporation for that? Local independent cafes exist and many of them do much better coffee cakes. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] skidicarus@sh.itjust.works 1 point 1 week ago (1 child) Convenience. I make my coffee at home, but I pass dozens of Dunkins, Starbucks, gas stations, etc. on my way to work. Can't say I'd be able to locate a local café in my area. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] HerbGrower@slrpnk.net 1 point 1 week ago (2 children) Never heard of dunkins. Is it convenience or laziness? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] skidicarus@sh.itjust.works 1 point 1 week ago A bit of both, I'd wager.

They are a widely known brand in the United States. I've never been to their coffee shops but the coffee you can buy of theirs at the grocery store is alright. Its convenience but also around here, the private coffee shops that aren't commercialized are more expensive. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] HerbGrower@slrpnk.net 1 point 1 week ago I don't think spending 30-60 minutes of my wages on a single drink is a reasonable choice. permalink fedilink source parent
