The seemingly terminal decline of Tim Hortons

[Northern Light]

I know this is the Tim's pile-on thread..........LOL

But since we discussed Wendy's adding breakfast here previously........they put out their new menu today........

In order: Heart attack, gross, I doubt its good, but maybe

Yikes - that Breakfast Baconator read like a heavy breakfast crammed into a bun.

They invented Olestra and Draino for a reason.

Maybe they really are trying to break into the US market again. Smother that with gravy, swap the coffee for a milkshake or 80oz big slurp and the fries for grits or beans and you've got a US-style fast food breakfast. Maybe have a super-size option.

We're discussing Wendy's here, not Tim's.

Wendy's already has a substantial U.S. presence and a breakfast menu (or what they pass off as such)

The U.S. menu is pretty similar, but as noted previously in discussions, pop w/breakfast is a thing down there:

Pop with breakfast is a thing here too. Have it daily.

Pepsi and a cigarette, the Quebec breakfast!

But it makes sense to people going to Wendy's at 9:00 a.m. who actually are on their lunch break, like factory or warehouse workers who start their workday at 5:00 a.m., or earlier, so these menu items offer something appealing to morning commuters and those who have been awake for five or six hours already.

According to McDonalds, they found it essential to have good coffee for breakfast here because Canadians don't drink pop for breakfast.

In the US it's something like 12%. So also, not the majority there either.

You sent me down the rabbit hole:

First there's this:

From: https://www.mashed.com/416207/do-americans-really-drink-soda-for-breakfast/

Which then sent to me see if I could find the 12% source..........I did...........from way back in 1988:
