it was p cool

lots of people will tell you it's gotten too commercial/touristy but lots of beautiful hikes, parks, and drives in the surrounding areas

Yeah nothing wrong with White Spot whatsoever but that's another thread. Think there's probably more A&Ws than Tim Hortons in Vancouver and there's not even a glut of those.

Starbucks doesn't have a buffalo-sauce latte:

Destroy both. IF they were the only two options I'd probably take starbucks just because I of strength/caffeine content.

. it's very difficult for me to conduct business in tim hortons and not be overwhelmed with sadness

they opened one of these here (not canada), i went in when it was pretty new still i think, but overall yeah, pathetically sad place, and crazy expensive, i do not want to go there any more

Tim Hortons > the band Poison > 7-11 > literal poison > Starbucks (probably > the Buffalo latte)

No purposes. Sounds. (Sund4r), Wednesday, 18 October 2017 02:46 (six years ago) link

Tbf, though, I had coffee from an American Tims on the way back after Thanksgiving/Columbus Day and it tasted completely wrong, more like 7-11 material, so that might affect rankings (especially if they're selling Buffalo lattes).

When I was 10 or 11, 7-Up had these promotional cans in Canada where the bottom was a picture of Lighthouse or Edward Bear or Crowbar (maybe the Guess Who, too), with their name above the photo. I can't find any online evidence, but my memory is not faulty here--I was talking about them with a friend one day.

The last couple of days (and into the foreseeable future), my paper coffee cup has an illustration of Shawn Mendes on there.

This is not progress. I want to go back.
