Roll Up the Rim

While there are lots of good questions out there, like when we are moving (June, maybe?), the more consuming issue in our house is, "Are we going to win the camping package from Tim's?"

Josh is barely Canadian, donating his Canada Day t-shirt* and actually driving through a Tim Horton's and not getting coffee during their promotion, Roll Up the Rim. For those Americans too far away to understand what I'm talking about, Tim's runs a contest where you actually roll up the rim of the cup to see if you win a prize, from a free coffee to a new car.  That link is actually incorrect, in that I use my teeth to roll up the rim.  In any case, if you win you rip off the rim to redeem your prize. The first time I won, I brought in my entire cup and faced the disdain of the Tim's clerk.

Ellie is obsessed with Roll Up the Rim, urging me to go to Tim's (like I take any urging!) so we can win the camping package. She also suggested we stop and collect a cup at the side of the road because that could also be the winning cup. My mom also suggested this, which shows the Ellie Apple does not fall far from the tree. (Sam just wants to eat Timbits.)  So far, I've only won 2 free coffees, but it is better than last year, when I only won one free coffee.



*Which is actually fine, because he will be getting pants with maple leaves embroidered on them, like the rest of the gentlemen on our street. Like his hula dancer pants, but Canada-style. Or we could just get these, which also come in shorts and skirts. This is a fabulous pair of pants.
