It was snowing and slippery today and I didn’t have the right shoes on, yet I braved the weather and walked to Tim Hortons to keep my challenge with dawger going. It was worth it! I won a free coffee 🙂
That makes the score: dawger 0 – Boo Radley 1
Michelle also left a comment about requesting a free cup from Timmies this year:
Hey Boo they are offering FREE cups again(I found this in the rules):
2. NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO PLAY: In Canada, obtain a FREE Tim Hortons contest cup and/or a copy of the official rules, by writing to:
Tim Hortons Contest Cup, P.O. Box 9899, Saint John, New Brunswick, E2L 4P8.
All requests for a Free Cup must be postmarked by May 3, 2008 and received by May 11, 2008. Limit of one request per envelope with sufficient postage, while supplies last. All requests must include a postage-paid, self-addressed envelope.
It would also be interesting to see if anyone wins off of these “FREEBIESâ€!
Once again, the cups are UN Recyclable.
Quite disappointing, really.

Gosh, once you start adding up postage, it might be just as cheap to go drink the coffee! (But, good if you don’t have a Tim’s locally) Has anyone here actually WON anything (besides food prizes?) I drink 1-2 tim horton’s coffees a day- EVERY day…. and have rarely even won a cookie! I want to win something JUST for being an obsessed customer:)
Hey Boo,
Don’t go risk getting hurt just to show me up! Good for you on the win, you’re 50% now. Gonna be hard to top that! Maybe if you stop while you’re ahead! Haha!
Good luck!

hmmmm… I see a little bag in the background… did someone also get a little donut with that coffee??
hehe yep, I got a chocolate croissant 🙂
Here in the office we have a tally sheet on the wall of each worker and
a win/loss columns
Somebody (maybe us) should make an online tally sheet. Be interesting to see what and how often people actually win
Oh and BTW. Its all about the apple fritter eh

my neighbour won the boat yesterday, the 2nd day of the contest…and all i ever win is the chance to play again.
I boycot Tim Hortons, but refuse to buy their stuff for environmental reasons. %50 of garbage on area highways comes from Timmy’s alone. This makes me wonder if it’s the company that’s to blame or are the people that shop there mega trashy?
My heart rejoices each year with the Roll Up The Rim promotion, as it means that Spring and warmer weather will soon be here.
I suspect that ‘Roll Up The Rim’ is somehow sponsored by the Canadian Dentists Mafia. Seriously, next time take a look around to see how people rrrrroll up their rim. Hmmmm???
I have to agree with TKO from Ontario. I am a runner and am AMAZED at the number of Tim Hortons cups littered everywhere that I can see when I’m running outside. Honestly, it’s mostly the Tim cups and plastic water bottles and there are tons of them in ditches and on the side of the road. So sad.
But HELLO?! I can’t believe that there are that many people who toss their empty cups on the ground?!!? If you are reading this and you actually do this, give your head a shake!
50% of garbage is not timmies, I wouldnt even say its anywhere close to that. Have you ever looked at how many garbage bags there are in the ditches?
What about cigarette butts every where?
I dont litter, some people are idiots and theres no changing that.
Blame litter bugs … I’m a regular Tims customer, and I always, always hang onto my garbage until I can find somewhere to trash it. It’s not hard if you’re in the city. Some people just have this weird, irrational urge to throw away anything once it’s fulfilled its function; it wasn’t so repulsive a couple of seconds ago when it still had coffee in it.
1 in 16 wins for me so far, this sucks.
If you buy Timmies and don’t litter, RESPECT!
If you do, shame on you.
How would your parents react if they saw you litter?
Would you like to see your kids trashing?
The power to win comes from within our families.
What little Johnny doesn’t learn, big John won’t know.
Don’t trash and be cool, prove your mom didn’t raise a fool.
Cheers,
TKO
Someone may find this interesting? I was quite surprised when after plying the “Roll up the Rim to Win” Tim Horten’s game/contest on/off weekly for years, guess what? Not once but twice a waitress won! Yeah, no fooling around first she won a really great bike for her teenage son,and then a sound system.Gaming laws didn’t come into play here she gets her friend to redeem prizes for her.Ha I won a free cup last night as usual.I wish you fun and better luck next time HA HA!
I rrrolled up my rim yesterday, but to no luck. Apparently, the odds of winning are 1 in 9. Or so they say…
🙂
I wish people could find some other way to entertain themselves than contributing to the increasingly devastating patterns of consumption (production & waste)in our culture. Just think about it. And watch this short video, it’s really informative.

Please, bring your own mug if you must go to Tim Hortons and I doubt your health will miss the free junk food you occasionally win either.
