If it did, the lineups would be much longer than the ones you see at Starbucks.

Timmy Ho's is only popular outside large cities that have access to Starbucks and Second Cup simply because they have no competition in the small towns (yet).

Tim Hortons is ''only'' popular in small towns? Yeah right.

Timmies has shorter lineups because they have way more locations...

no doubt. This is why many always choose TH because it gives the false sense of Canadian-ness rather than because of the quality. But I understand such mentality for a country that lacks much that is truly culturally unique - they desperately hold on to anything no matter what. It is like the Koreans think Kimchi is a huge deal. (sorry, can't help it).

Not in downtown Toronto, they don't.

But hey, don't let the facts get in the way with pointlessly arguing about the availability of a beverage you claim you don't even like nor drink.

I have often wondered if Tim Hortons would have been anywhere near as popular if it had been named after a wrestler as opposed to a hockey player.

"We Torontonians are above X" or ''We Canadians are above X'' has to be one of the most annoying character traits.

I never stated that Canadians are above Timmy Ho's. I merely pointed out that Tim Hortons is no where near as popular in downtown Toronto as it is in somewhere like Sudbury, and that is likely because downtown Toronto has unlimited choices for superior coffee.

However, you continue to persist that saying so is some kind of elitist statement for whatever reason, and insinuate that ALL Canadians *must* love Tim Hortons EVERYWHERE!!!! Seriously, your brand loyalty for Timmy Ho's is pretty die-hard for someone who claims that he neither likes nor drinks their coffee products.

Either that, or you just love to troll forums because you have a bug in your ass for Anglo Canada. I'm guessing it is a mix of the two, myself.

If it was named after Bret Hart and the logo had a maple leaf on it, It might even be more popular.
