    Timmy's had a 17% increase in Q-3 profits this year.. maybe now they can afford to invest in some of those environmentally friendly 'cups' Maybe they can put one of those David Icke 'Lot Lizards' that disintigrate with their Ray-Gun Eyes-- like WTC 1&2..
    Solution:
    Place a Lot Lizard under the rim of the cup to activate a high-energy heat source with laser beams out of the eyes of the lot lizard (hidden under the rim of the cup), that would 'evaporate' or 'crumble' once they hit the pavement, or possibly, the cups could have a 'pancake effect' or manually topple in which at after-math -- 60% of cup would be throughly inspected and then recycled, while the remaining 40% would wind up in the dump, like garbage.. "No questions asked!" Possibly Timmy's will control-demo, the remaining US Locations who aren't meeting 'the quota' in comparison to Canadian outlets..?

    This is a question that was posted on Sympatico's/MSN Homepage. (TOday, Nov., 13th, 2008)

    Question of the Day

    1. Toronto would like to crack down on the use of paper coffee cups because of their impact on the environment. Do you think they should be banned?
      1. Yes, re-usable cups are the way to go
      2. No, a ban will hurt businesses
      3. Not sure

    They should crack down on or ban the lazy coffee drinkers that throw the cups everywhere.






    We have Timmie's every few blocks here in Buffalo. Darn cups are everywhere.

    Ban "Tim Horton" coffee cups?
    They have the WORST coffee ever and their employees have to be given the recipe for ICE COFFEE. (pour coffee over 1 FULL cup of ICE)

    Perhaps it would be more environmentally sound to ban the coffee and their uneducated employees.
