Oh Canada! Whats a Poutine?

[Varnae]

On second thought, I'd probably be better off not knowing. Rick

You're definitely better off not knowing. If you knew, then you'd have no excuse for not doing exactly whatever it is.

Ignorance is bliss

Rick,
You need to start your own thread if you want this question answered!!
And I think KAT may be able to give you a few hints, cause I KNOW she won't let HER secrets out!

The real Tim Horton died back in the 70's when the chain had 2 or three stores in Hamilton. The filtered water and the cream with their unique blend of coffee is the secret.
Phil

Oh I didnt know that... RIP Timmy

[madmax-im]

LMAooo here...I was curious about Tim Hortons in the USA and believe it or not there are 10 in the Syracuse NY area and 2 in the Cortland NY area.....its no secret that triple filtered h2o tastes better than tap h2o...but their blend of of cream and coffee is a mystery to me...

It would seem you can find out everthing on this site. Keeping that in mind, does anybody know what women really want?

XSive Special Water

Makes sense. If someone wanted to purchase this water for personal consumption, what would they look for. It can't be holy water because I haven't melted yet.

Hi Ron...now that is interesting...I wonder about the wter used is it tripled filtered? Obviously it isnt tap water. My 1st time there was last Sat...it was over 16*c and I was warm so I had an iced cappucino..it was fantastic right down to the bottom of the cup and I was addicted right from the get go...! Timmy must be a very rich man! As for missing meeting me dont worry I'll be baaack in a few weeks...And we'll get in some good riding too, Eh?

Hey Rick;

A little 'secret' for you... it's the water that makes the difference. As a former distributor for a company that supplied 'Timmies' with the requisite paraphernalia, it was one of the 'trade' secrets that served us well when trying to close a sale. It worked wonders, especially with 'Timmies' fans who couldn't duplicate the taste/quality of the coffee sold in the coffee shops when making it at home, even though they used the same packs of coffee.
Ron

p.s. Hey BNE, wish I had known you were coming up, would have taken a drive out to meet you. Hopefully catch up with you on the return, if not before.

Hey, every time I've driven past the lineup of cars at Timmie's takeout window I've wondered what made presumably sensible people waste all that time lining up to pay over a dollar for a cup of coffee that they could get for pennies in the safety and convenience of their own homes and now I know. Timmies put something habit-forming in the water. Those poor bastards are not stupid after all. They are addicted.

[xsilerating]

I think most would back me up on this, for some unknown reason making timmy's at home just isn't the same. Lots have tried. I think that it must have something to do with the cups. ... Rick

Ego Intact

I think it is just the men of Quebec that push the rudeness to keep from being overun by"anglos". Never in my life have I seen so many attractive and stylish women in one area. They seem to have a unique ability to gently turn you down (dancing of course) without damaging your ego. If they do wish to dance you'd best bring your "A" game.
I guess I'd consider doing the same thing but while I could become fluent in french, being rude is something you must be brought up with.

[fredintoon]

- - - If the French want to be French send 'em back to France...they act like they are so elite with their noses up in the air. I 've had people tell me how friendly Canadians are until they go to Quebec. If you dont speak French they just ignore you. - - -

Hi 'Max,
almost all Quebecois are secretly bilingual, you just have to know how to deal with them.
If you go up to one and say:-
"Can you please tell me where the washroom is in this building?"
They will sneeringly babble at you in Frogspeak.
OTOH, go up to that same person and say:-
"Pardonny mwah Mongsewer, vooly voo dyrectez mwah dee lar sally dez homz?"
They will smile and say:-
"Sure thing Mac, it's down there on the left."

[madmax-im]

Well its too late for me as I am addicted to Timmy's...and I did save the cup...LOL maybe if I make it at home and use the cup it'll be close to what I had... If the french want to be French send 'em back to France...they act like they are so elite with their noses up in the air. I 've had people tell me how friendly Canadians are until they go to Quebec. If you dont speak French they just ignore you. In my short time visiting I noticed that 50% of all the drivers speeding had Quebec license plates...the remainder were New Yawkers

Lemmings

There's a Timmies 4 blocks from my place, it's the busiest one in the city.
Most times there's up to 40 cars lined up outside their drive-thru window with the line-up's tail end spilling out onto the street making a traffic hazard.
Up to 30 minutes sitting in a car inching forward waiting for a cup of indifferent coffee.
Jayzus, what a bunch of maroons.

Tim Horton's Poutine

I think most would back me up on this, for some unknown reason making timmy's at home just isn't the same. Lots have tried. I think that it must have something to do with the cups. If tim's starts selling poutine we are all doomed. When we are gone, this country would make a great back yard for the USA. Just keep an eye on the french neighbours. Rick
