Just to lighten things up a bit, 22 minutes did a spoof about the increasing cup sizes at Timmies: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TtWje9-kN0&sns=fb

Easy, make your own coffee at home and put it in a Thermos container … You’ll save a lot of money, time, etc. I used to go to a hospital next to a Tim Hortons and everyday I would see people lined up at the drive-thru to get coffee and a muffin … how long does that take … how much does it cost ?? I’d rather make a bunch of muffins once a week and make my own coffee, saving time and big money too.

They charged me 20 cents more for a large tea also, I thought the prices were not going up.… they lied, surprise surprise…

Tim’s is an American corporation, and as such constantly requires rising quarterly profits so to sooth its hungry investors fixated on escalating profits.
So what’s the angle?
As always follow the Money or profits.

Oh, and to the person who stated more coffee = more health, as a student nurse I highly recommend not exceeding over 2 cups. Coffee is only good is small amounts, and will make your bones brittle and have numerous other side effects if drank in large quantities

So knowing that the new cup size holds 24 oz, which is 4 oz more than the old extra large, my mom and I bought an extra large and a large coffee. After drinking our coffees, I filled the large cup all the way to the brim and poured it into the extra large cup. There was only about 1/2 of space from top, which we all know timmies doesnt fill that high anyway.
So why are we paying for more coffee and not getting coffee? Seems like timmies pulled the wool over our eyes!

Watch out for these… The cups are taller and thinner than usual so they don’t sit securely in the car’s cup holders. I wound up with 24 oz of french vanilla all over the floor of the car before I was even out of the Tim Horton’s parking lot… I’ll never buy another one of this size if it’s going to go in a vehicle.

Why would you have to make yours a triple triple now? You know the amount of sugar/cream is relevant to the size so it always tastes the same. The new extra-large double double tastes the exact same as the small double double.

I’m with Sara. Although we have Timmies on the west coast, I am a Starbucks fan. I drink my coffee black, no sugar. I like to taste coffee. When you drink Tim’s coffee black.…it’s terrible! It must be the cream.

The cups are huge. We’ve had them here for a couple of months now. But it is still the same garbage water in the cup. I’d much rather Mc Donalds coffee.

I am flabbergasted at the thousands of dollars spent on advertising. The marketing dept. should have simply named the new cup size “SUPER”. Timmy’s will be receiving many angry letters,emails, etc. a people order their regular size drink in the drive-thru, and then discover that it’s not what they’ve been ordering for years.

Such a simple solution. Everyone knows that SUPER is larger than an X-large anything. What a waste of thousands of dollars and man-hours.

The larger size won’t make people obese. Accountability, people. The larger size is not going to force people to drink it. People will still have the ability to make decisions for themselves and what they consume.

From Dr Oz website:

“Coffee has been shown to have several benefits ranging from lowering your risk for dementia to decreasing your risk of sudden death. Now a new study looking at over 70,000 women found that those who consumed at least a cup of coffee with lunch were one-third less likely to develop type 2 diabetes over several years than non-coffee drinkers.

The study looked at both caffeinated and non-caffeinated coffee. Important to note here is coffee is not defined as sugar, fat-laden frozen, iced or hot coffee concoctions found on your local coffee shop menu (think mocha java drink with whip cream). If you’re planning a coffee break around lunch time with the girls, go for it but stay away from coffee “drinks” and stick with a pure cup of Joe instead!”

So more coffee = more health!

So, any of you know how much cost this new size?

I never understood people who say they ~loooove~ coffee when they put a ton of cream and sugar in it.… triple triple, really? Want some coffee with your calories and fat? Maybe if Tim Hortons made half decent coffee people wouldn’t need to cover the horrible taste. I would get people complaining to me when I worked drive thru because their “coffee” with 5 CREAMS in it was too cold.…. sorry, but there was no room in the cup for any coffee!

Am I the only one that thinks Tim Horton’s will make a good bit of revenue from people accustomed to ordering medium/large and realizing that they’ve actually paid for a large/extra large?

I use to be a timmies coffee addict but most of their locations where I live serve coffee that’s either so burnt it smells like ciggeratte ashes or its very watered down. I don’t think tim hortons does enough to internally check on their franchise locations in the gta which is the reason I stopped drinking tims. I now use my keurig, buy mcdonalds or starbucks.

I can make a 33 cent cup of coffee with my tassimo, I’ll just stick with that.
