not fooled

so, i have bought more than a few toasted and buttered bagels from tim hortons in my days here on earth. for as long as i can remember (and probably as long as i was what you might call a responsible adult), i have never seen tim hortons do a bagel advertisement campaign.

and yet now - not only gigantic signs at their stores but i just witnessed a television ad.

now normally, one would think that perhaps bagel stop has started making a big dent on timmie's bagel market - but, for some reason, i think this is unlikely.

for some reason, i think we're being played for fools.

and what is that reason?

well ... the new commercials are advertising that a bagel is $1.05 + taxes ... and i swear, last week, i paid $1.06, taxes included.

no tim hortons, this girl is not fooled.
