This is just like that Seinfeld episode when Elaine is ordering coke at the theater...small is medium, and medium is large.

And yet they'll still use double cups to make the coffee cup less hot feeling instead of giving out those handy little sleaves like they do in the states... and continue to make their cups out of hard to recycle materials? And... oh whatever.

The price per amount is going to stay the same. So a large now will cost what an extra large did before the switch.

Interesting that they are now the same size as mcdonalds but no one noticed...

It was only a matter of time. As Tim Hortons is American owned masewell introduce American serving standards into Canada. Assimilation.
Of course this could also be a competitive stance towards McD's as their cup size is larger (and slightly cheaper) than Tim's.

Especially for the ones who put 7 creams and 6 sugars in their large coffee.

Also, is it just me that finds McD's coffee > Timmies?
