These are dangerous times for some. It’s a time when coffee addiction intermingles with a deep rooted gambling habit that you weren’t even aware you had. The two vices come together to form one all encompassing obsession, that will surely bring about your true colours.
Feel that? It’s the rage already beginning to boil inside of you.
Our national addiction is back for another season, this year promising “even more prizes” as Tim Horton’s Roll Up The Rim to Win contest celebrates 25 years. It’s a genius contest, really. I mean, we’re stopping there every day (sometimes more than once) for a caffeine fix, so why not get a little something back, right?
If only it were that simple.
I had my first cup of the season yesterday. This is how it went:
“KHAAAAAN!”
I’ve started Roll Up the same way I start it every year, with the opportunity to play again. After this morning’s coffee, I’m now 0-2 and will, most likely, see that abysmal win:loss ratio grow further into the negative…much like my bankroll after I realize how many coffee breaks I’ve taken in a month…thank God I don’t smoke, too.
This year, the odds are better – up from 1-in-9 to 1-in-6 – so, if I’m lucky, I’ll get a free coffee which, for me, translates to an XL Café Mocha (the most expensive drink on their menu; take that Timmy!)…might even try that new caramel mocha…though I need to win first…
Best of luck, and happy rolling.
