O<\/span>h OK. It’s that time again for Canada’s favourite annual contest, \"\"Roll up the Rim<\/a>, which we, at xsamplex, faithfully cover. We might just as well jump at and do some sleuthing at this year’s numbers. A grand total of 260,959,840 winning cups have been produced this year: this is about 25 million (MILLION) less than the year before. Every region is losing here, that is, except for Quebec: it’s gaining almost 4,000,000 more cups. The biggest loser this year, however, is Ontario. The Maritimes however, like 2012, 2011 and 2010, are losing out again: by over 6 million cups this year.\n<\/p>\n

Prize-wise, it looks like Tim Horton’s is going back to the 4 major prizes: We have a car again (the Toyota Rav4 again, which was last sighted in the 2010 contest), pre-paid Mastercards (no electronics and\/or TV this year!), the traditional gourmet set and of course, the 100 dollar Tims’ cards. The Prize\/Region ratio shows an almost similar distribution as the amount of winning cups: Two regions lose out (Ontario and Atlantic provinces), not including the US. Secondly, there are a whole of less prizes to win than last year. 2012 and 2011 had 5 major prizes. In 2013, it looks like Tim Horton’s is going for a lot less.\n<\/p>\n

My advice this year is like the ones before: if you win a monetary prize, please donate 80% to me. Thanks.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
