They changed their cup size to match McDonald's. Instead of adding a XXL, you can now go to Timmies or McDicks and use the same word to actually get the same cup.

i had one this morning. usually the old XL didnt fill me up. I was full after this one.

besides, from a marketing point of view, its easier for the consumer to say XL, not XXL. makes sense to move them up in size without actually adding a new one.

its a good thing i have my thermos mug.. ITS cheaper... haha

Do the combos give you a small or medium coffee now then?

RRxtar 01-23-2012 05:00 PM

interesting to note

coffee per dollar:
XL 10.9oz/$1
L 10.25oz/$1
M 7.86oz/$1
S 6.67oz/$1
XS 5.97oz/$1

incl tax

totally forgot they we're changing their cup sizes so today when I thought I was gonna be ordering the usual medium, I got the new "medium" too much coffee for me

LIKEABOSS 01-23-2012 08:01 PM

It's about time. Every time I go to Timmy's I always have to remember to "size up" because their cups are so small compared to everyone else's. Timmy's hot chocolate is so good! :D

extra big size will most likely equal to more cream and sugar: hello diabetes

ShadowBun 01-23-2012 09:22 PM

say no sugar then

spoon.ek9 01-23-2012 09:34 PM

cream contains so much fat. i made the switch to milk a couple of years ago; now cream tastes disgusting haha.

if you really want to be healthy, you'll drink your coffee black. otherwise, reducing the sugar and switching to milk helps a lot.

I personally use 2 milk, 1 sugar. sometimes when they mess up and give me no sugar i'm fine with it too.

nsmb 01-24-2012 05:50 AM

just got an XL.... do they ever fill to the top ever?
they had about 2" left to fill... choked

fsy82 01-24-2012 08:26 AM

I used to add milk & sugar to my coffee. I started drinking black when my boss would bring me coffee and not add anything to it, and I was too lazy to go and add it.

Now I pretty much only drink black. I might add a little bit of honey on the weekend, or some Bailey's when I'm on vacation.

But I like my black coffee strong, Tim Horton's coffee is way too weak for me.

THIS is exactly what Tim Horton's management wants:

dinosaur 01-24-2012 03:45 PM

Is it just me or did they just add "Cafe & Bake Shop" to their slogan along with the new sizes?

I just saw a commercial that said, "Tim Horton's Cafe and Bake Shop" and I noticed it on the new cup...hmmm...they trying to overhaul their image?

AzNightmare 01-24-2012 03:54 PM

I like this idea. I don't mind having the option to pay a bit more to get more coffee.

RRxtar 01-24-2012 04:21 PM

thats like how the drivethru at Mcdonalds says "welcome to Mccafe" now

donjalapeno 01-24-2012 04:26 PM

too bad tim hortons has shitty americanos....taste like wood chips and hot water.


Mcdonalds americano however :sweetjesus:


and starbucks :sweetjesus: :sweetjesus:

I'm not a regular but I can see how the new sizes can confuse ppl. I'll order xs from now on.

i think that's just what they call it in the states. i can totally imagine stupid americans asking "wtf is tim hortons?"

AzNightmare 01-24-2012 09:15 PM

Just got XL today. Think cup size is roughly about the same size as McD's Large.
Not sure... I don't have a McD cup to compare with.

But the price is $2.20 (tax included).
