Have you ever been to Canada? Well if you’ve been or not, I cant tell you that Tim Horton’s is something that, even if you tried to avoid it you will somehow end up with a red cup off double double in your left hand. After spending almost 7 months in the great country of Canada I figure out why the joke “Canada runs on Timmy’s” is more than true. As of 2018 theres almost 5000 restaurants around the countryside, and i think half of them are in Ontario beacuse they where fucking everywhere. A town with 200 people had a Timmy’s, its red iconic logo is like a heart of every canadian town. Every canadian you meet will tell you that you have to try an IceCapped or and AppleTiffer. Im telling you, I’ve just got on the bus from the airport to get myself up north, due to my flight being cancelled. And of course some random super freindly guy on the bus bought me just that and I was hooked. Its unbelieveble good stuff for fuck all. In Sweden a normal take away coffee is priced around $5-6 (REEETARDED) compaired with the normal large coffee at Tim Horton’s, that will leave you with a bill around $1,5-2,5 canadian dollar. Unreal, I wish we had that kind of service and price here. But here coffeeshops a not everyday thing that you’ll get your breakfast at or have a break during your long ass drive, no here it’s a fucking treat going with you significant other having a shitty bagel and a burnt cup of shit coffee for 15 bucks. Im pissing myself off just talking about it. So Ill stop compairing and give you a brief run-through about the history of Tim Horton’s. Not everyone, well except every canadian, doesnt know who Tim really is. The guy was a star defenceman for the proud and old hockey club, The Toronto Maple Leaf. And when I say proud I mean it. Its nuts how much Ontario talks and relates to the hockeyteam… They literlly breath hockey and the team is like a religion. But Tim did what the Leafs havent done in more than 50 years. He won biggest price in hockey, The Stanley Cup. So from his time playing for the Leafs and the name he made for himself in the area he started his own coffeshops and the rest is history. Ill link both the restuarant’s wiki page and Tim’s wiki page. So if you ever end up at Pearson or somewhere else in Canada. Be sure to have a quick stop at the many Timmy’s you will encounter.
