I just wish they would bring back the chicken stew in a bread bowl.

Nothing better for avoiding a hangover and pretty good when you're sober as well.

I used to love that. The chilli thing just doesn't do it for me.

I'm batting at .500. 2 coffees bought today and 1 win (donut)

I loved the chilli in the bread bowl but did not like the chicken soup\stew.

I am continuing my stellar streak and am 0\1 now. With that many prizes and so many losers makes you think how many they sell during the promotion.

I have a severe addiction to Tims. I'm 0 for 7 this year so far. I kept track a couple of years ago (which is incredicbly pathetic, but not that hard to do) and I was 9/50 by the time it ended...all donuts and coffee.

haha I have a cup here sitting in front of me... I will have to finish up the coffee soon.

I remember reading the odds, and the Cup size "Large" has the highest percentage of winning cups. So, getting XL would probably do you no good.

I had an amazing stretch last year.. I bought 17 large coffees before winning, (I was keeping count and growing more and more bitter) and I won a damn donut. Then, studying at the University my girlfriend bought me a medium peppermint tea.

That medium tea won me a BBQ. It was beautiful. Played the good guy card to insist the BBQ was my girlfriends.. since she did pay for it. But she insists I keep it since I love eating meat so much more than her... she's a keeper!
