Today Tim Hortons is giving away small Ice Coffee between 12-5 in Canada. This Canadian coffee giant is the next in a list of companies giving away freebies during this economic downturn.
As the recession trudges along, many major fast food retailers are duking it out over coffee. This is likely a response to McDonald’s free coffee promotion that was offered during breakfast hours from April 20 to May 3 of this year.
I suggest you put some time aside if you are planning to collect your free Tim Hortons small Iced Coffee today, the line will be crazy!
