Tim Horton's hasn't been Canadian (or good) for a long time now, so I'm not surprised that they are being shitty.

last week I went to a Tims cause I hadn't been in awhile and just wanted a large double double and 10 timbits. I felt like death after eating those timbits. god damn horrible. Coffee hadn't improved at all either. Was just muddy sugar water.

Honestly, I had Tim's a week or so back and it was way better than I remember it being. Had a breakfast wrap and it was well constructed, stuffed, and tasted good.

Then not more than a day or two later, someone brought Tim's donuts to work, and those too were better than I remembered.

I actually am super proud of some sweeping changes my partner and I have made to our diets in the past year or two. We're eating way less processed food, probably 3x more fruit and veg, and a lot less red meat. Lost 32 lbs so far!

Nope, just a genuine lived experience. My partner and I usually go to A&W for breakfast stuff, and this was just an unusual circumstance. Since it just happened in my recent memory, and I saw the comment above, I thought I'd chime in. You know, the kind of thing that social platforms were designed for.

How dare someone describe a personal experience that doesn't match the narrative!

Tim's is garbage and you know it. I gotten sick everytime I've eaten one of their sandwiches. I havent eaten there in years.

[–] Albbi@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 hour ago

Tim's has been less garbage than the hospital cafeteria which is my other option. I eat a couple ubagel belts nearly weekly and never gotten sick from it. Those 4 cheese bagels are pretty good.

[–] foggenbooty@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

That sounds like a you problem. I dislike Tims and what it has become, but loads of people eat there without getting sick. It's just low effort food, not poison.

Found Doug Ford’s account!

They’re better than 5 years ago for sure, but still not as good as 15 years ago.

If you’re doing fast food A&W Canada is basically the best, but thankfully there’s a new generation of competition all around.

[–] iamthetot@piefed.ca 0 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

My partner and I generally do A&W for on the road breakfast, but this was an unusual morning and Tim's was way more convenient this time. And then, for the donuts, I mean I didn't pay for them.

I actually can't compare to 15 years ago personally.

TH used to bake in every store. Now they bake in industrial bakeries and deliver to stores. All garbage.
