In 2001, when I left Canada, I had fond memories of Tim Horton’s donuts and other confections. In 2016 when I went back for some paperwork and stayed a month I was absolutely shocked at just how crap Tim Horton’s donuts had become: stale, lifeless, and oversugared/underflavoured. (I’d never liked the coffee so I didn’t try it.)
The donuts are still sometimes ok if you get there at juuuuuust the right time. But they go stale so fast now. And yeah, some of them seem to be way more sugary than they used to be (some of them hurt my teeth, they have so much sugar).
The coffee though… There’s no magic time where it’s possibly ok.

Something big was lost in that decade and a half.
Fucking capitalists.

I only went twice in 2016. Both times were so lousy I decided I’d not bother anymore. Which is too bad. I used to really enjoy Tim Horton’s. 😬
Timbits are so bad now. Encrusted in sugar, and they use some kind of weird oil now.
