Tim Hortons' "Back to Hogwarts" donuts are not only politically but objectively horrifying. It does hint, however, at the age (mid-30s, I'd guess) and quality of the new big-brained high-flying executives in change of marketing and sales taking over the company. They're in trouble.
Tim Hortons® invites guests to celebrate Back to Hogwarts with Harry Potter™ inspired menu items, merch, limited-edition packaging and more - launching August 12

And make no mistake, it's the story of a guy who finds his way out of toxic masculinity to become a man and unapologetically espouses diversity and inclusion. Woke 2.0 stuff.

Rocky N. Bullwinkle@lproulx.bsky.social · 3d agoThinking of rereading SOMEBODY OWES ME MONEY by the great Donald E. Westlake. A perfect pulp cover.
