This is in today's Orlando Sentinel

http://www.orlandosentinel.com/business/orl-tourism1909jan19,0,1172756.story

"Orlando is making an effort to attract chilly Canadians to the Sunshine State.

The promotion, which was launched in Ontario last week and will run for six weeks, includes 6 million coffee cups that will be distributed by Country Style, one of Canada's leading coffee and doughnut chains. The cups include a picture of a palm tree and the slogan, "This warm feeling brought to you by Orlando.""

Has anyone ever heard of "Country Style"? There certainly aren't any here in Nova Scotia! At least not that I'm aware of.....are they an out-west thing?

They're here in Ontario. Not as big as Timmys but pretty big.

Yes, but Tim Hortons is our national coffee. The Americans have it wrong.

You may not recognize the name Tim Horton, but it's a household name here in Canada. They sell doughnuts, muffins, bagels, soup, sandwiches and coffee. It's not gourmet coffee, and you won't be able to get a latte or a double espresso. Their coffee is plain and simple, but it's good. I've had more than one person ask me what do they put into their coffee.

dvc at last !
