Ever since Tim Hortons got bought by Wendys, they suck... It's never been the same! I don't even look forward to it when I travel back to Hamilton anymore!

I didn't know they were bought out. I find it disturbing that they Americanized the Extra Large, though. It's like a freaking bucket! :-O

Actually, it's not owned by Wendys anymore. Wendys sold all of its interest in Tim Hortons by 2006. Hortons is now a 100% Canadian publicly traded company.
Whatever happened with the battle of the cup where some guy (I think it was a teacher or something)threw his cup in the trash without rolling the rim and some kid found it, rolled the rim and won a car? Then the teacher said it was HIS car? Anyone remember that?

Vaguely remember it, and don't know the official outcome, but doubt teach would have got to keep his car. It was his cup - until he threw it in the trash, and that means you've yielded all ownership to the property, even if it was yours til just a few seconds before. So the kid should have been allowed to keep it.
ETA: Didn't find a teacher/student one but there is one where in PQ, a 10-yr-old girl found a discarded cup and asked a 12-yr-old girl to help her roll up the rim. An SUV was the prize and the two girls' families got in a fight over it. Then the school janitor jumped in, said the cup was his and a DNA test would prove it. The courts found in favour of the 10-yr-old, so my above assumptions were right.
Thanks Susan. well guys, just keep rollin' them rims. The only thing I ever won was a free cup of coffee. We live two hours away from the nearest Timmy's so I was SAVING that cup (cuz I drank it on the way home) and my hubby ( who is NOT a coffee drinker) chucked it out! Can you believe it? My only freebee :(

Deportation from Canada is the penalty for that, I believe.

TY for the info. I did not know. I left Canada in '98.
Last 2 years I didn't get nuthin, not even a frickin donut. Cheap bastards.
Gimme a call...Uncle Raymee will buy you one. :O)
Ray
D'oh!!! I just got back from Timmy's with both a coffee and a hot chocolate - and the usual Please Play Again...the story of my life...*deep sigh* Are you having better luck than me, Uncle Raymee?

Uncle Raymee got snookered again. The add at Timmy's said "One in six are winners"... oh yeah sure...I bought 6 and won nothing. Damn liars. :O)
When I worked in the Data Center of my company a few years ago, there was a Timmy-Ho's up the street and I would walk up there once in a while for a hot chocolate. I recall not doing too bad in these give-aways but now that I've moved to the central offices(woo hoo for promotions and day shifts!), there is free coffee/tea in the break-room and I don't go there anymore.
