    I’m in Canada and just about everyone I know love Tim Hortons, a shitty coffee fast food place that is everywhere here.

    A cup of coffee to most of these people is a large double double (20oz coffee with two sugar and two cream) but most people tolerate the sugar and fat so much that they’ll up it with more sugar and cream. I know a few people who do triple triple or start going higher.

    I once offered to buy a nurse at a hospital a coffee, she was a short, petite middle aged woman and I thought she’d ask for a smaller coffee … she asked for a large six cream, seven sugar.

      Holy shit. 6-7 should not be a Tim Hortons order. My brother used to order a 5-3 and that’s pretty crazy already.

        I used to work there and there was a cab driver that came by every night and asked for a 7 and 7, a lot of 4x4s too

            Maybe it’s a way to get more value out of your coffee. If it’s 75% milk, well that obviously costs more than if it was made with water. And you’re paying the same price!

    What fruit? What kind of coffee? Pretty sure there’s a substantial difference between a couple grapes and a caramel latte vs an apple and a black coffee.

      tried to find the study with a couple quixk searches, ran out of time :(

      funny how “journalists” dont have to cite their fucking sources.
