Default Roll Up The Rim - 2010

It is that time of year again. This is the year you will finally win something more than a coffee or donut, I guarantee it*. You can play at 3578 different Tim's stores over the next 4 weeks. This contest is the world's largest coffee cup contest held by this continent's fourth largest publicly traded restaurant chain. The Timmies invasion of the United States is going well, with over 500 stores already opened.

So... what is your score?



*not a guarantee.

Starting this morning for the next two weeks, I'll be going to McDonalds to get a free coffee.

It's that time again? Awesome. I haven't left the house for my morning coffee yet.

After doing some searching I found my results over the last three years:


2007 5/60 = 1 in 12
2008 5/57 = 1 in 11.4
2009 8/89 = 1 in 11.125

So I suppose over the past three years I'm 1 in 11.4, odds are 1 in 9, therefore I should win extras this year!

Because I have something wrong with me in the head, I signed up for a Twitter account where I'll be keeping track of how poorly I'm doing.

1 for 2. Was expecting that to take a little longer.

Last year I managed to score a $50 gift card. Until then it was just the odd doughnut or coffee.

This is the one year where I want to win the laptop instead of the car.
