Iconic Canadian doughnut shop chain. One of my favourite t-shirt
saying is "Give me my Timmies and nobody will get hurt.

It was front page news in major Canadian papers when Tim Horton's
planned on opening in Kandahar ( main Canadian Forces base in
Afganistan) .

I know at least one German who seems unable to pass a Tim Hortons when
he's visiting Canada.
