The new XL isn't even that much more compaired to a L. There is no point buying it cause it's skinnier.

Old XL became L
Old L became M
Old M became S
Old S became XS

smart in the sense that ppl like me who dont go there much will say "medium" or "small" by default and will now pay more than they wouldve before without really realizing it
also makes sense since their sizes were damn small compared to other chains...altho they are also way cheaper and i kinda liked that Posted via RS Mobile | |

TL/DR - they pretty much just introduced a new size for $2.20 and renamed them
Previous Prices (taxes in):
XL - $1.95
L - $1.78
M - $1.50
S - $1.34
New Prices in effect (taxes in):
XL - $2.20
L - $1.95
M - $1.78
S - $1.50
XS - $1.34

I wish I developed the taste for coffee. Almost 27 and still don't like it. Although I do love the smell of coffee beans >_<

Doesn't that mean, that nothing really changed. Like if I pay for a medium coffee, it won't be exactly $1.50 anymore.
So even though sizes became "bigger", prices are the same

They basically want customers to come in more often, as they "think" they are getting a better deal, since a) the cups are now larger, or b) they can pay one size cup smaller..to get what they normally would have received.
But at the end of the day, its still the same. You didn't think Tim Hortons would lower their income now, would you?

Could they have kept all the existing sizes the same and called the new one XXL? I'm sure they could have... but I guess their marketing team decided doing it this way will bring in more money.
I think they're banking on people just ordering a set size, no matter how much content there actually is. If someone usually orders medium stuff, they'll still order a medium now.
