It worked.
People don't go to Tim Horton's for the predictable quality of the food like other restaurants. They go there because they've arbitrarily decided this chain is more Canadian than others. IE they've been sucked in by lame patriotic marketing, which is one of the lowest forms of marketing.

Wow. Try to come off a little more 'holier-than-thou.' It'll be tough, but I think you can do it.
You just condescended that millions of people in Canada are stupider than you because their taste in coffee differs from yours.
