What's the tldr? Just read the entire article and couldn't grasp the main point of this article
I think the headline misrepresents it a bit, but:
-
Tim's has a long history of playing to a sense of nostalgia and "shared Canadian values".
-
Politicians have been using this association to try to seem like Regular Joes for years.
-
The franchise is owned by one of the largest corporations in the world.
-
Their menu increasingly contradicts the "traditional" vibe they promote, with newer items like Sweet Chili Chicken Loaded Wraps and Loaded Bowls, Tiramisu Cold Brew, and Blackberry Yuzu Sparkling Quenchers.
-
They're also increasingly expanding options that discourage people from eating in-store, eroding their "de facto town square" image.
-
Maybe the confused identity of the brand reflects the confused identity of Canada as a whole.
To be honest, it's a pretty muddled piece, but there are a couple of interesting points in there.
Ok, I thought I just had a comprehension problem, because I couldn't figure out the plot either from the title. Maybe an AI written article?
Their menu increasing contradicts the core principles of taste.
You know you're truly lazy when the tl;dr itself is too long
tim hortons kind of hypocrites; may mirror society
I was referring to myself being too lazy to read it if that was unclear
Haha it was clear, just having some fun.
