But you can't even read the tab! For all you know it might actually say PLEASE PLAY AGAIN.

(incidentally, since last report I've won two cookies, but lost one of the tabs, one donut and one muffin)

Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 23:25 (twenty-one years ago) link

yeah that might help the bidding a little...

Kim (Kim), Wednesday, 9 April 2003 23:39 (twenty-one years ago) link

Im surprised Tim's is allowing that, seems somehow underhanded. Maybe Im just jealous.

Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Thursday, 10 April 2003 01:50 (twenty-one years ago) link

ten months pass...
Okay. March 2004 campaign, and I just won a donut. Mmmmm, donut.

Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Friday, 5 March 2004 20:25 (twenty years ago) link

regina has a very low tim's count.

The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Friday, 5 March 2004 20:30 (twenty years ago) link

two weeks pass...
I've repeatedly won the right to try again.

Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Monday, 22 March 2004 22:49 (twenty years ago) link

me too! driving to TO yesterday we were SO HAPPY to discover it was roll up the rim season again!

s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 22 March 2004 23:42 (twenty years ago) link

Today I was a big losah, but the other day I won a cookie and gave it to Noodles. I am nice and stuff.

Kim (Kim), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 02:53 (twenty years ago) link

I have given up coffee, so I have not had a chance to win. :-(

I miss Tim.

El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 02:55 (twenty years ago) link

you can roll up the tea rim! my friend did it (and lost)

s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 03:07 (twenty years ago) link

"tea rim" sounds filthy.

mark p (Mark P), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 03:13 (twenty years ago) link

mark p - the "p" stands for pervert.

Kim (Kim), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 03:20 (twenty years ago) link

s1ocki, if you are Toronto, you shouldn't be rimming tea or coffee, you should be beering instead! With ILX'n'shit!

(ps. I have levered up the lip and lost many times, though I have won one beige donut and one cookie.)

Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 03:23 (twenty years ago) link

beige donut? oh. yum.

Kim (Kim), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 04:09 (twenty years ago) link

ok "beige donut" sounds filthy too!

mark p (Mark P), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 04:24 (twenty years ago) link

(um maybe the 'p' stands for 'pent-up')

mark p (Mark P), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 04:24 (twenty years ago) link

Can we do nothing with the cookie?

Kim (Kim), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 04:27 (twenty years ago) link

see the "i'm in toronto" thread sean (not that it will give you any more information than this), unfortunately this is a very very brief trip and there is no time to roll up the beer rim and win good times.

s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 23 March 2004 05:45 (twenty years ago) link

I am sueing Tim Hortons.. Damn them!!

AngryTImmy, Tuesday, 30 March 2004 01:53 (twenty years ago) link

Arngry... rage dude. rage.

"please play again"

This year the Ho is just taunting us.

Kim (Kim), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 02:11 (twenty years ago) link

I've only won one coffee so far, despite the fact that my purchases far outweigh the reputed "1 in 9" odds. As I was standing in line one morning about two weeks ago, a guy who had just been stabbed four times walked. right. by. me. He survived, but what a fucking mess... There was so much blood that everyone thought it was a joke and didn't try to help him.

And when I told my mum I had only won one coffee she accused Tim Hortons' of somehow diverting all the winning cups to eastern Canada. I like how every conversation with my mum boils down to how eastern Canada is responsible for hoarding things.

fields of salmon (fieldsofsalmon), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 05:49 (twenty years ago) link

And where in dear god do we hoard things? In our massive fleet of dories?

Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 11:14 (twenty years ago) link

I am up a muffin and a cookie. But all I want is more coffee.

danielle g. (danielle g.), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 18:42 (twenty years ago) link

And where in dear god do we hoard things? In our massive fleet of dories?

Actually, I heard it was SkyDome.

fields of salmon (fieldsofsalmon), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 22:34 (twenty years ago) link

But the Skydome is in Upper Canada, not eastern Canada.

Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 03:08 (twenty years ago) link

We do not have the winning cups down here either. It is starting to become tragic just how few winners I've turned up this year considering I'm nearly bathing in the stuff this time out. The odds have definitely not been 1 in 9 so far this cycle; maybe they're unleasing more winners later as a result for patience.

Has anyone ever sat down and calculated the odds against the number of prizes listed? Do Canadians really drink 180,000,000 (or whatever it works out to) cups of coffee during the contest period? Doesn't that work out to something like three cups a day for every person in Canada? Shouldn't the streets be flowing with Timmy-flavoured pee?

Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 03:24 (twenty years ago) link

That's not just slush, you know

Dave M. (rotten03), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 04:40 (twenty years ago) link

Somethings gotta motivate the New Brunswick economy and it sure ain't going to be Irving's personality.

Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 12:06 (twenty years ago) link

But the Skydome is in Upper Canada, not eastern Canada.

Pretty much everything is east of me.

Shouldn't the streets be flowing with Timmy-flavoured pee?

Flavoured? Well...

fields of salmon (fieldsofsalmon), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 19:10 (twenty years ago) link

Someone obviously got my memo above, because today I won a coffee. I'm about to go redeem it so I can be pleasantly overcaffeinated like Mr. Fields.

Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 19:12 (twenty years ago) link

This Timmy flavoured pee sounds like something we could export to Germany. So far I've won one stinking coffee and of course I THREW OUT THE GODDAMN CUP.

Bryan B Sure (Bryan), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 19:16 (twenty years ago) link

The venerable John Labatt has been pulling this one for almost a century.

fields of salmon (fieldsofsalmon), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 19:19 (twenty years ago) link

Elliot (Elliot), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 19:23 (twenty years ago) link

one cup a day and so far i've won bupkus. timmy can kiss my beige donut.

mark p (Mark P), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 19:50 (twenty years ago) link

I am now drinking my free coffee. Mmmm, so sweet.

Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 20:13 (twenty years ago) link

Nothing tastes better than free Tim coffee.

El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 20:15 (twenty years ago) link

Yeah, I mean, you can keep your damn first-place truck prize, just back a truck of sweet sweet bean up to my door instead.

Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 20:18 (twenty years ago) link

"back a truck of sweet sweet bean up to my door"

mark p (Mark P), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 20:19 (twenty years ago) link

So I rolled up the rim on my free coffee...and won a muffin! Things are startin' ta go my way hey.

Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 21:28 (twenty years ago) link

I won a mofo cookie. I want my free coffee bitch.

Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 22:49 (twenty years ago) link

YOU CAN GET COFFEE BITCHES?????? I'm moving to Canada.

VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 22:50 (twenty years ago) link

I won a cookie today! My week has been so pathetic and terrible that this may well be the highlight.

El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Thursday, 1 April 2004 17:59 (twenty years ago) link

I'm back to getting the opportunity to play again. This will not do.

Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Thursday, 1 April 2004 20:50 (twenty years ago) link
