Tim Horton's. I am so touched. We don't often get mentioned in the news. And I mean the news!!! Jon Stewart is a great source for information for me.

3. Tim Horton's is the coffee, donut place all of canada is addicted to.
It is like starbucks in the usa though a less uppity version. You'll find one tim horton's across the street from another. And it is a mystery what they put in their coffee which makes it so addictive. Some people guess 'robusto coffee beans?' no. So people think added caffeen? We don't know.

10. Tim Horton's secret?
They use a shorter list of ingredients and they roast their own beans. (although IMHO the coffee is just OK)

In short it is closer to food than you would find in a place like crispy creme which has an ingredient list longer than Homer's Odyssey and all of it is some kinda chemical.

13. I get my coffee from a local roaster -- it does make a difference! And this coffee
is great! Vivace, if you're ever in Seattle. :hi:

15. I think they add something to the coffee they sell in liquid/brewed form. People say when
you buy their coffee in the can and brew it yourself it doesn't taste like Tim Horton's coffee. I've heard rumours such as MSG. Don't know.

12. Tim Horton's coffee is the fuel that powers the Canadian federal public service...
Well it probably fuels a lot of people at a lot of workplaces up here, but I've been a Fed for a decade, so I'm just speaking to my experience.

5. Happy Thanksgiving!
I listened to Canadian radio so I heard this all day and meant to post good wishes but forgot.

So Happy Thanksgiving - I hope it was a good one for you.

7. We celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving every year.

Why not avoid the rush? (We're also Franco-American).
