I remember when this commercial first aired like it was just the other day I saw it.Cookies were one of Timmies' first attempts to diversify their menu beyond donuts and coffee.It's strange how they're more synonymous for coffee now.
i use to LOOOVEEE the old peanut butter cookies!! the ones with the lines in them, now theyre just chunks of peanut butter :( theyre good, but not as good
One more thing: if this commercial had run just fifteen seconds longer, Dad would've clocked Son upside the head and admonished him for running his smart mouth, told him to "get a damn haircut", and yoinked the steering wheel hard toward the nearest cold beer outlet.
Ah, Canadiana at its most fromage-y...how I love thee. Thank you, Retrontario, for posting these timbits of nostalgia.
"Dad" here is quintessentially Canadian, with his rumpled lumberjack shirt, stylish fur-trimmed vest, and the facial hair and harsh visage of an underpaid dockworker who takes out his frustrations with his dead-end life, sassy-ass son and the Loser Leafs by playing hard defense in a rec hockey team and slamming Timmies down his gullet at every opportunity. His blood pressure is constantly in the critical zone and the spectre of Type 2 diabetes looms large.
I do know that the original name was "Tim Horton Donuts" from 1964 until the late 1980s when the signs read "Tim Horton's" with the apostrophe. I believe it was only a few years later (early 90s, maybe around 1993) that the apostrophe was dropped and it became "Tim Hortons."
i love how the kid is rubbing his hands together like hes looking at a 100 naked girls on a bed.
tims just changed their cookies again and now their "gourmet" cookies. when really they just upped the price and made them taste like shit. well, imho they oatmeal raisin were better left alone!
@kidfortoday I wouldn't mind paying the "gourmet" prices if they actually were an improvement from the original.Furthermore,i recall the days when they had peanut butter chocolate chip flavour,but they are sadly long gone.
jeez, i miss those old boxes that looked like a timmies store! a friend and i were having this debate as to when cookies came into existence at tims, he said right off the bat but i knew the store was pure coffee and donuts for years. i figured it was early to mid 80's. should have made a bet with him! damnit!
The gormet cookies that there selling now sure don't compare to these cookies theres way more variety back then, ew frozen that discusting!Tim Hortons should have a vintage type deal like sell somthing that they had back then for the price it would have been back then.
Now they do, now that Tim Hotrons is a multinational american conglomerate BS machine, too bad we cant keep things in canada! Oh and i wonder if "Dad" knew his son is a homosexual? LOL
@raptureboi Like a typical Canadian, you're in need of an update. Tim's has been CDN again since Sept 2009. We CDNs should learn the facts before we do our usual bitching
I Can't believe that someone uploaded this commercial!!! I'm the little girl in it and i've NEVER seen it before! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

When did they start calling themselves Tim Hortons instead of Tim Horton?

You can thank French-language laws. To make its brand uniform among both languages, they added the "s" at the end.

They bake them by the dozen, huh? So once that dozen is sold, they have to bake another dozen! Great idea... :p Haha.
