What's particularly depressing is when you pull up to the drive-through window with the sign that says "678 winners at this Tim Hortons". How could this be when the contest JUST started?
Even in years that I buy lots of coffee, I still rarely win. I WANT THAT ENVOY!! or at the very least the home theatre system.
JOY, JOY!!!!! I just won my own donut!! Now I have to give up my bitter grudging feeling towards all you other winners out in the world. Oh well. See you at Tim's place!!
And you know what, Lyn? We always do; we keep setting ourselves up for failure and loss, but then, somehow, through those feelings of bitter disappointment, we see those three words as a warm invitation, as if it's a priviledge. "Please play again? Why, I'm honoured that you'd ask. Thank you. I'll certainly play again."
Congrats!

ReplyDeleteIt's a vicious cycle.
And being polite Canadians, we always respond well when somebody says "Please"
ReplyDeleteI started to wonder if I should start buying Extra Large coffees, figuring there'd be a better chance the more money I spend, but check this out:

If I read the chart right, the best odds are found in large drinks (which is what I always order, yet I rarely win).
I hear that they put nicotine in their coffee.........mmmmmm, yummy.....drinking a cigarette
ReplyDeleteNicotine? Bizarre. I heard that it was MSG.
