In 2001, when I left Canada, I had fond memories of Tim Horton's donuts and other confections. In 2016 when I went back for some paperwork and stayed a month I was absolutely shocked at just how crap Tim Horton's donuts had become: stale, lifeless, and oversugared/underflavoured. (I'd never liked the coffee so I didn't try it.)

Something big was lost in that decade and a half.

Fucking capitalists.

    The donuts are still sometimes ok if you get there at juuuuuust the right time. But they go stale so fast now. And yeah, some of them seem to be way more sugary than they used to be (some of them hurt my teeth, they have so much sugar).

    The coffee though... There's no magic time where it's possibly ok.

    Fucking capitalists

    Fucking vulture/vampire capitalists.

    Timmies is now owned by what amounts to a vulture/vampire capitalist group.

    And out of a good 12 Timmies in my region, there is only 1 that I willingly patronize, because they actually fill the cup up to the top. No-one else in the area does this, they leave a good 20-25% empty headspace in the cup.

    And I’m a sucker for their French Vanilla, it’s the only reason why I even patronize them. I always reach for that when I want to play a game of chicken with my blood glucose.
