TORONTO — Coffee lovers at two Ontario Tim Hortons outlets may soon be doing a double take at their double-double.
The popular chain is brewing up something new using outlets in Kingston and Sudbury as test markets.
Tim Hortons spokesman Nick Javor says the company is introducing a new extra-large cup size which will hold 24 ounces (710 millilitres).
It will also be changing the names of all the cups to make room for the new extra-large, which will cost $1.90 plus tax.
Javor says the 20-ounce (590 ml) will now be known as large, the 14-ounce (414 ml) will be medium and the 10-ounce (295 ml) will become the small.
At the Kingston test outlet, the eight-ounce (240 ml) size will be called an extra small but at the Sudbury outlet, it won’t be on the menu at all.
The prices for each cup size will not change.
Javor says research shows customers’ tastes are moving to larger sizes. He says it will test the two markets for about a month to see what the reaction is.

  1. At least they aren’t doing the idiot thing that some places do where there’s no longer any such thing as the small.
    “I’ll have a small hot choco…”
    “You mean a medium, sir?”
    “No, I mean a small.”
    “Well, the smallest size we have is medium.”
    “No, it isn’t.”
    “Yes sir, it is.”
    “No, because that’s impossible.”
    “No, because the cup says medium. We have medium, large and extra large.”
    “No, you have small, medium and large. I care not about what the dumbshits in head office tell you. If you have a 4th size, I’ll entertain your notion of extra large, but the little one will still be small.”
    “So you’ll have a medium?”
    “Blow me.”
