Tim Hortons is even regional in Ohio. In Cincinnati Dunkin rules the roost but in Columbus Hortons is the primary breakfast/donut place.

Dunkin Donuts is such shit-tier breakfast food, their donuts are terrible now. I remember as a kid they actually tasted like they made them out back (I think they did)

Yeah, I think they used to make their donuts on site, but that day has long past. Crap tier.

I didn't know they didn't make them in-store anymore. That is pretty gay. How many fucking chemicals are on those donuts to prevent them from going bad in transport?

You can tell they don't make them in-store anymore because you can go to the tiny store inside a gas station and its the same shit-tier-make-your-teeth-hurt-from-too-much-sugar donut that you get at the real store.

One of the odder things I've eaten recently.

Let me guess. That is imitation Easter grass with a soft boiled egg leading into feces found in the Ganges river. Topped with seaweed.

Mmmm. The best kind of feces.


I broke my low carb stint this weekend for some Chik-Fil-A. It's hard to beat them, as far as fast food goes. The chick at the counter also gave me a card that gives you a different free sandwich during certain weeks over the next couple months. So I guess I'll be forced to break my low carb at least 3 more times.

Tim's ditched making donuts in the store a long time ago as well. There's been lawsuits flying around between the original founders of the company, some very large franchisees, and the main corporation. Actually, maybe the lawsuits were concluded:A $2-billion lawsuit against Tim Hortons dies, allowing parbaked doughnuts to live on | Toronto Life

Basically the franchisees were arguing that the par-baking was shifting a lot of the franchise profits up to the corporation. As far as what par-baking is, I have no real understanding. But basically the donuts are mostly made in a big factory, flash frozen, shipped to the stores and unfrozen/baked there. I don't think there's a lot of chemicals involved necessarily, but a lot of people did complain when the change was made to notice a drop in quality.

Personally the only thing I ever get at Tim's is a breakfast sandwich, generally on one of the specialty bagels. They're pretty decent compared to comparable offerings from McDicks, A&W etc.

Lettuce, soft boiled egg, and chicken with mayonaise and teriyaki sauce, and a few pieces of seaweed on it. They're calling it the Tsukimi Twister (as in from KFC) where Tsukimi means moon-viewing.

Perfect for Tanoomba!

Hm I haven't been to Tims or Dunkin since like high school. Sounds like I'm not missing out.

I have coffee at Dunkin somewhat regularly. Their food is definitely shit, though.
