Rrrrrrrrroll up the rrrrim!
Sorry, my hand had a tiny seizure there...
I meant to say its Roll up the Rim time from Tim Hortons.
Everybody has their own belief on "strategy" to win the big prize.
I personally go with the large (or I guess what is now the medium size) as it was (maybe still is) the most popular size. But, then sometimes I'd go for an XL coffee because I figured they would distribute winning cups throughout the sizes and thinking less people would buy XL coffees, so maybe I'd have a better chance of winning then.
Maybe those ideas won't work but I have found some interesting things about Roll up the Rim, such as:
As one of the country's longest-running promotions, Roll Up the Rim has handed out some 387 million prizes since its launch.
(And only about 20 of those landed in my hands, and they were all coffees, donuts or cookies)
According to a study commissioned by Tim Hortons, only 56 per cent of Canadians can roll their r's like the Timmies commercials show. Only one in five can hold a rolled 'r' for more than 15 seconds, and men appear to be better at it than women.
(I can hold it for WAY longer than 15...Suck it average people!)
If you live on Prince Edward Island, your chances of winning a Roll Up The Rim prize are considerably better than if you live in Ontario. That's because Tim Hortons spreads prizes across the country according to geography, not population density. "If it was all equalized, some places like P.E.I. or New Brunswick might not get one at all," a Timmies rep said.
(I think I should move to PEI for the remainder of the contest...Better odds)
