Roll Up the Rim at Tim Horton’s

Posted in Coffee

It’s Roll up the Rim time again at Tim Horton’s in Canada. For those of you who don’t know, this involves rolling up the lip of your cup to see if you win anything – food or prizes. We’ve even had some oh so Canadian commercials surrounding this yearly contest. But, from Darren Barefoot, we hear that winning this year may not be so easy. There are less prizes to go around, and more stores. The official chances to win and prizes per province are available over at xsamplex.

Darren points over to Brian Jones, who has won only once out of 17 cups of coffee. Not the greatest results. Now, I ask, why would you want to drink 17 cups of Tim Horton’s coffee?!? Ew! Tim Horton’s coffee is just about the worst coffee out there!

Now, Darren shows us that we have many less TH’s in BC than in Ontario (where you can find as many Tim Horton’s as you can Starbucks in Vancouver). According to the stats, there are 8395 people per TH in Ontario vs. 21,530 in BC. 

Maybe I didn’t grow up going to Tim Horton’s (actually, never did), so that could be why I don’t like the coffee. But not likely. I didn’t start drinking coffee up until about 3 or so years ago. And I had my choice. But, really, it’s just awful coffee. Really. So, I don’t think I’ll be doing much Rrrrrolling, good odds or bad.

    You know, it is perhaps my bad luck but with the amount of coffee I drink 1 out of 17 would be great.

    Last year I started monitoring the odds because I hardly ever win.

    Over the entire period last year I purchased on average 3 cups a day and in total I won 2 free coffe and a cookie. That was all. now I do not know exactly how many days it ran but it is for sure that I need to buy some 45 cups of coffee to win something.

    And yeah I know I am a coffeeholic I drink on average 8 – 10 cups a day.

    I am at 5 cups (medium – best odds in Manitoba), and have been tracking my winnings and comparing that to the Super-7 lottery and random stocks on the TSX. All for fun! Check it out:
