How Tim Hortons Lost Canada (Then Tried to Buy It Back) #177

This week, Harley and Big Lynch break down how Tim Hortons went from owning Canada (eight out of ten cups of coffee, double-doubles, Timbits, Roll Up the Rim) to getting branded anti-Canadian. The guys get into the hockey-player founder, the 2014 sale to the Burger King owners in Brazil, the "always fresh" par-bake reality, the franchise squeeze, and the temporary foreign worker firestorm that dragged Tims into Canada's youth unemployment rage. Plus: the fact sheet Tim Hortons dropped to defend itself, why Dunkin' marching back into Canada might be the thing that saves them, Crumbl naming a 186-gram dirty soda after the boys, the unwritten laws of golf attire, and an investigation into Harley's hair.
