When it comes to Canadian characteristics, many people will think of ice hockey, maple syrup and, of course, the local Canadian brand coffee Tim Hortons. There are many Canadians who are fans of Tim Hortons. However, a recent survey conducted by Maclean's magazine found that respondents' favorite coffee is no longer Tim Hortons, and the top three favorite coffee brands are other coffee brands.

Maclean's magazine launched an online survey on the 16th, asking Canadians which coffee chain they like best to buy coffee. Respondents were given the option of 15 of the largest coffee chains sold in Canada, and respondents were asked to rank according to their preferences. Each interviewee's first coffee shop will get 15 points, the second choice 14 points, and so on, a total of more than 1500 people took part in the survey.

As of the 20th, the respondents' favorite coffee chain was no longer Tim Hortons, and Tim Hortons even fell out of the top three, according to the survey. In the survey, the favorite coffee shop was McDonald's McCafe with a score of 10, 9494, followed by the Second Cup coffee chain with 10, 8456, and Starbucks ranked third with a total score of 10, 8100. Tim Hortons ranked fourth with a score of 10, 6260.

This result made many Canadian netizens feel sad.

Some netizens said: Tim Hortons lost its luster after it was acquired by Burger King and is no longer Canadian.

Some netizens also said: Timmys (many people's nickname for Tim Hortons) should continue to follow the main coffee and doughnut route and should not be mixed with other things.

Other netizens complained that the service of Tim Hortons was so poor that they no longer listed Tim's coffee as their first choice, and it was more expensive than McDonald's. For the past eight years, he has gone to Tim's house to buy coffee every day. Now he prefers to make coffee at home rather than drive to buy it.
