From the blogto article linked by op:

He says that "After a couple of sips, it became soggy and started to stain. Thereafter, I could taste a few small lid pieces in the drink, which was like 'yuck.'"

Yep sounds like terrible design and Tim's cheapen out in the material. I've had non plastic caps that were much better than that.

You know what would bring us back to the good old days? A real ceramic mug you can use to sit down, drink it slowly and enjoy. But I haven't been to a Tim's in a while where the server would ask if I wanted a mug or to go. Maybe the lady would call that woke too?

They have the paper lids in my city and they're really not bad. I hate Tim Horton's but I was actually impressed by the lids. They definitely hold together well

Every Tim Horton's around here will give you a ceramic mug if you ask for it to stay, but the default is to go.

I don't believe that story about the lid for a second

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago

I do, everything at Tim's is garbage, why would their lids be any different?

Honestly I'm really not surprised. Tim is known for choosing the lowest bidder.

So, capitalism?
