I have been drinking Tim Horton’s coffee for as long as I can remember and drinking it from literally dozens, if not hundreds, of different franchise locations. And I want some answers.<\/p>\nI have been drinking Tim Horton’s coffee for as long as I can remember and drinking it from literally dozens, if not hundreds, of different franchise locations.

Why, oh why, is the seam in the coffee cup ALWAYS lining up with the space in the lid created when you pull back the tab.<\/p>\n
I know most of you are saying “What the heck is he talking about?” but I want you to pay attention. This cannot possibly be random. The diameter of a Tim’s Extra Large lid is 9cm, meaning the circumference is approximately 28.25 cm. The space created by the pull back tab is approximately 2.5 cm, which means the “seam” that runs up the cup should only appear in sip gap approximately once every 12 cups. Yet I seem to get the “seam” at least 80 to 90% of the time.<\/p>\n
This is far too great to be random. It must be in the procedures or equipment Tim Horton franchises use to fill, stack and dispense the lids. In fact, I would go so far as to say the randomness probably comes in the “wrist twist” that some employees may add when pressing the lids down on the cup. If it wasn’t for that “wrist twist” I would think that 100% of the cups would give me the dreaded “seam”. And trust me, I am starting to hate it.<\/p>\n
You get that uncomfortable bump in the lip of the cup and if you try to twist or remove and replace the cap, you inevitably get a leak in your cup due to the improper fit.<\/p>\n
If you have noticed this or if you go out to Tim’s I urge you to pay attention to how often you get the “seam” and come back and comment.<\/p>\n
