Hegemom forward me this article about an academic doing research on Canadians and their beloved Tim Horton's.
Quote:
Here are some tasty extracts from his work. "In Canada, the doughnut is widely believed to be the unofficial national food. Expatriate Canadians speak of associating a trip to the doughnut shop with returning home."
Keen readers will recall that I went to Detroit earlier in the month for visa stuff. As the Canadian border guard put it, I was a "turnaround": I drove into Windsor solely for the purpose of a U-turn and applying for re-entry into the US.
I did make one stop however: no joke, I went to Tim Horton's.

However, I bet you didn't get a Doughnuts, did you.
Hardly anyone eats Doughtnuts anymore. They are hardly even have any. There more muffins and sandwiches now.
All the said, most people only get coffee.
Actually, I did get some Tim Bits (doughnut holes for the uninitiated).
It is true though: Tim Horton's is more like Starbucks than Krispy Kreme these days.
For Gods sake, post something new...Anything, stupid or otherwise.
