Tim Hortons Branding Spree

Posted by Tanja / April 16, 2006

april1606_timbbq.jpgSo, I finally found someone in T.O. that's won a 'big' prize in the 2006 Tim Horton's roll-up-the-rim contest. A dear friend of mine rolled up to reveal a brand new BBQ -- definitely more exciting than a donut.

On the other hand, she lives in a 1 bedroom condo, so it pretty much just turned into a nice gift-giving opportunity as she presented it to her father.

As they unpacked it, they began to uncover that, piece by piece, it was totally branded with Tim Horton logos. The cover, lid, control panel, propane skirt sort of thing... and yes, not pictured here, even engraved into the wooden cleaning brush. All it's missing is the logo worked right into the grill so that each steak can be branded (quite literally) as well.

Now you've got to wonder: what the hell do they do to the grand prize SUV?

Very cool! I've never won a single thing from that contest so it's very nice to see someone winning one of the bigger prizes.

Call me brainwashed but I would actually genuinely love to have a Tim Hortons-branded BBQ like that.

at least it doesn't have a Wendy's logo and an American flag on it...

I would be tempted to immediately grill an Old Fashioned Plain.

I knew one of the first SUV winners back when it first started. License plate is "ROLLUP".

My father won a bike one year in Roll Up the Rim -- it was also covered in Tim Horton's logos.

I absent-mindedly threw out several cups, forgetting to roll up the rim... I'll never know if I won anything laden with Tim Ho brand-messaging. Or if small children are fighting to claim my prize. I feel so dumb.

I see the truth is comin' out... Wow, a T.H. bbq may be fun, but that all over your bike would suck.

Can't please anyone with this contest. They complain when they don't win and when they do win they don't like the prize because it says Tim Hortons on it..........
