I could never understand why people go completely whacky for Tim Horton's every morning when the greasy spoon diner at the corner probably has better coffee and maybe even food.
Honestly Tim's isn't that great, but it has two advantages:
1) They're freaking EVERYWHERE
2) They're dirt cheap

Do I ever find myself thinking "man, a breakfast sandwich from Tim's would be a great treat right now", no. But at least once I week I think "aww man, I'm starving this morning, I should grab something on my way into the office with the change in my pocket" and then I hit up Tims.

They've really hit the sweet spot for availability, price & quality. Don't get me wrong, they excel in none of those areas, but they hit the cross section better than anyone else.
