canada’s pride and joy is a

doughnut shop named after and founded by a hockey player in the 1960s 

for all you non-canadian’s who think I’m exaggerating: 

  • “Tim Hortons holds 62% of the Canadian coffee market (compared to Starbucks, in the number two position, at 7%) 
  • “Canadians eat more doughnuts per capita and have more doughnut outlets per capita than any other nation“ 
  • “The company [Tim Hortons] opened twice as many Canadian outlets as McDonald’s and system-wide sales also surpassed those of McDonald’s Canadian operations as of 2002”
  • “The chain accounted for 22.6% of all fast food industry revenues in Canada in 2005.”

There are 6 of these places at my (relatively small) university, 2 of which are in the same bulding

I worked in an oilfield camp that had a Tim Hortons.
