But that isn't so much their advertising as it is Brubaker's being closed and Tim's being the only food in the SLC. (Sandwiches being featured prominently in the lunch specials, and I order chili because I haven't yet tried to make it myself...) That occurred to me, actually, as I was typing it.

And yet you consider soup, sandwiches & chili to be part & parcel of what they sell. And they serve too much that isn't chocolate, it's not quite instinctive.

Like, following some sort of ancient instinct? I guess it's important to push new products, but *I* can't really imagine purchasing anything there that isn't a sandwich, a donut, chili, tea, or hot chocolate. (Then again, I suppose the purpose of the advertising is to broaden my imagination...) I wasn’t aware that there was any need to market Tim’s to women… don’t they all just go there anyways?

I can only hope that it alienates everyone who is influenced by all the other feel-good ads, so they have to pull it.

It's overpriced, the berries are poor quality and the quantity is small. It wasn't worth my money, and no advertising, whether horrible (as it is) or not will change that fact.

As for the Tim's ad, it particularly stuck out because their usual pattern is to emphasize how home-grown they are by talking about heritage and hockey and camp and that sort of thing. It was surprising to see them selling yogurt using the shampoo and deodorant model. Hi Roshan, glad you like the design.

The yogurt looks absolutely yummy. By the way, I just love your design. Gives me some inspiration.
