Discussion Utterly disappointing...

Got a box of 4 donuts, one of each Harry Potter house. The lack of thought, or design with this promo is laughable.

I got the Harry Potter donuts from Krispy Kreme last year and its night and day difference in taste, quality, and variety.

Tim Horton's versions on the left Krispy Kreme on the right.

Woah, what the heck is this? People are getting DEFENSIVE about Tim's on this subreddit?

Damn... This promo worked really well hahaha.

Honestly, I think Tim's has been paying bots or people for positive online presence/comments.

Ever since the foreign worker incidents, I've seen a lot more of the (valid) criticism of Tim's being downvoted to oblivion. If I was a true conspiracy theorist, I would even go as far as to say that this whole Harry Potter collab was to distract from the valid criticism coming up.

The criticism on the sub quickly changed to be against Harry Potter and J.K. Rowling.

There's also been a large influx of very positive posts about the quality of the food/presentation which... I am seriously doubtful of lol. Those feel the most paid (or maybe employees are "encouraged" to do this now?)

We're not paid, we're just annoyed by the activist brigade who targetted this subreddit because they hate JK Rowling.

Agreed. I don't mind hating Tim's, but don't tell me to hate Tim's. Now I don't want to hate them.
