Exit highway yesterday morning in Madison Heights behind a Salsa GT w/Canadian plates, flicked my fogs on/off at the light. Think, "hmm Canadian." Then watched as it pulled into one of Canada's US embassies--Tim Horton's.Do they put a little something *special* in their coffee?!

I think they do. Coke or meth most likely. Many of my coworkers have reported severe withdrawl symptoms if they skip a day or two without a "double-double".

The company said in August it planned on opening up to 110 new stores in the U.S. by the end of the year to complement the 2,851 outlets in Canada.

I see that putting a prize indicator under the rim is ingenious.That way the people can't re-use the cup which sells more and they have opened a market for the "rim roller".

I "won" a Tims card at work and now have it set up for automatic reloads when it gets low - which is about once a week. I go there two to three times per day! Its right beside work - bad.
