I was just down in Nnew York. Couldn't find the location on 42nd street, and ended up walking down to 34th to find a small hole-in-the-wall location that shared a hole with pizza hut. Very hard to find. The brew was quite a bit richer down there than it is up here, which I am in no way complainng about. The X-larges down there are also actually big. Same width as a Canadian X-large, but 1.5 times as high.

On the little cardboard cup-holder they gave me with the cup it explained a bit of the origins of Tim Hortons, but in no way actualy mentioned Canada specifically. I think that based on the commets in this news article, my friend from the area that was with me while I was down there, and other New yorkers in the joint, that it would help the chain down there even more if they tried to promote the Canadianism a little more. i'd go as far to say have a Canadian and American flag flying side-by-side at the doorways, a large detailed history framed and put up on blank walls, murals of famous Canadian Hockey players, pictures of Canadian landmarks and cities (such as NY in subway resteraunts), etc.

What took them so long?
Vanilla is awful on donuts and Chocolate is so... well.. 'default' flavor !
Maple is the best.

God that's like pouring Aunt Jemima or Rogers Golden Syrup on your pancakes. How "welfare". No wonder Krispy Kreme got blown outa the water up here!

I had something the other day that was like a cruller filled with strawberry custard, dipped in a strawberry coating(similar to a chocolate dipped doughnut). Messy, but damn it was good

Maple is actually quite a big thing outside of Canada from what I've come accross. My GF from Australia can't seem to get enough of it, nor her family and most others I speak to who are from elsewhere other then Canada.

Maybe we've grown acustomed to it being around all the time that we don't really understand how big a market it is.

Maybe if we poured maple syrup on our seal products we could win the EU back.

I will be an old old old man before I understand the attraction of maple glazed dognuts.

Odd... I know a lot of people like chocolate, but I have never been much of a fan, even when I was a kid.

I've always been a Vanilla guy..... mmmmmmm.... Vanilla.....
