This means another glorious year of more &#8216;less winning donuts&#8217; and more &#8216;less winning coffees&#8217;. Go Team.\n<\/p>\n<p>I was actually shocked when opening the regulations the first time: The break-down of winning cups per size has gone. This makes the paper easier to read, but far less interesting for the number crunching &#8220;Medium-sized&#8221; coffee drinkers among us. There&#8217;s no way telling which size cup you should buy.\n<\/p>\n<p>The most important change is that it looks like that the regions have been tossed up too: this year, Ontario is now (definitely) the place to go if you want to win that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hoogervorst.ca\/arthur\/?p=366\">&#8216;frozen-fried&#8217;<\/a> delicious donut. The Atlantic provinces region distribution shows a slight rise of winning cups. The biggest loser appears to be Alberta (and Saskatchawan): Which is basically because Manitoba has been added to this region, while number of cups distributed there, remained level.\n<\/p>\n<p>As for the major prices\/region distribution: This year, Hortons obviously targets the green-minded coffee drinkers by having a Hybrid (Camry) as the main price (last year it was the Toyota Rav4). Notably, this year&#8217;s Plasma TV&#8217;s size is substantially smaller than last year&#8217;s (40 vs 50 inch). And hey, I&#8217;m not sure if I&#8217;d prefer an iPod nano above a Broil King BBQ.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"extra\"><small>Previous entries: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hoogervorst.ca\/arthur\/?p=994\">2006<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hoogervorst.ca\/arthur\/wp-content\/Timhortons2005.jpg\">2005<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hoogervorst.ca\/arthur\/wp-content\/misc\/timhortons2004.jpg\">2004<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hoogervorst.ca\/arthur\/wp-content\/misc\/timhortons2003.jpg\">2003<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hoogervorst.ca\/arthur\/?p=182\">2002<\/a>.<br \/>\n<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey: it&#8217;s the new accounting year clocking in and, guess what: Tim Hortons&#8217; Roll Up The Rim 2007 has just started.
