Tim Hortons Chicken Noodle review

I left Toronto 4 years ago, with Timmies being a coffee chain... fast forward to the present, and I see their hot food items in grocery store aisles! Since I am in the middle of a pandemic (seriously... how many times have I wrote this already?... 3 times, 4 times?) I decided to give their canned soups a try. 

I loved eating at Timmy's during my undergrad days... their soups, especially, were fresh and felt homemade. It was a cheaper alternative to our campus' Starbuck's and it filled my belly without killing my wallet (keep in mind, I was a student back then).

Upon doing some research, I have learned that they have discontinued Chicken Noodle Soup from their store menus... so this is a perfect alternative to those who crave their Chicken Noodle soup (in fact, probably a better alternative since you can make this at home).

When I dumped everything from the can, I was slightly disappointed in how different it looks from the image on their can... but it did smell like their store-bought soups. 

No extra water needed... I just had to boil the soup and it is ready to eat.

It looked slightly better in my soup bowl where you can see more pasta and veggie bits. 

impressions

• good soup
• a fair ratio of liquid vs pasta/veggies
• wish there were more pieces of chicken

I was quite impressed. Although they didn't have as many pieces of chicken as they did at their store, it was a hearty bowl of soup.

Tim Horton' s creamy chocolate chill review

Creamy Chocolate Chill size Small

I have finally gotten a chance to try Tim Horton's highly advertised Creamy Chocolate Chill! It's been a while since I have been to Tim Horton's, so visiting this place literally brings nostalgic feelings of undergrad for me (yes... It has been THAT long ago).

Impressions

• Very creamy
• Very sweet
• Rich in chocolate taste
• Prefer more ice taste similar to iced cappuccino

I was quite shocked with the amount of sugar, since it wasn't that sweet. Based on the nutrition facts, it will be best to only have this once in a while.

mhm

A word of caution:

After trying this same product in different Tim Horton's shops, I realized that not all Creamy Chocolate Chills were created equally... Not to impose any negativity on the smaller shops, but I find that smaller (non 24 hour stores especially) lacked the strong bold Chocolatety taste that would make it taste good... Tim Horton's lack of quality control and fails badly (the bad ones taste and look hardly like the good ones).

Difference between better quality and worse quality chocolate chills:

(There was something wrong with inserting and writing tables into this page... so I'll just write a summary instead)

Here are indications of a bad Creamy Chocolate Chill:

• Lots of ice
• ice was not shaved properly
• hardly any chocolate/cocoa taste
• too sweet
• too much cream (on top)
• watered down

Score: 8.5/10

Tim Horton' s Raspberry Frozen Green Tea beverage review

Raspberry Frozen Green Tea Beverage

I'm so glad that Summer is FINALLY here! (... maybe I made this statement a little too late). The other day, I was walking in a mall and I was sweating (the AC was broken -_____-)... so I went to Tim Horton's to get this Raspberry Frozen Green Tea a try.

Impressions: 

• Green Tea was over brewed
• Raspberry taste wasn't prominent enough
• Very light tasting

I would actually prefer their raspberry frozen lemonade over this drink. I really like how innovative they are by incorporating other elements to "improve" on their frozen lemonade, however, I feel they would need to enhance the taste to make it more appealing... when the drink melted, the green tea taste was strong... with hardly any raspberry taste. It also had a weird nasty sugar taste to it (it didn't taste sweet, but very syrupy sugar.. does this make sense?)

It's Nutrition fact sheet scared me too... 33g of sugar?? why didn't it taste sweet?? I feel fooled!

Tim Horton's Frozen Raspberry Lemonade review

Nothing is more refreshing than a cup of frozen lemonade, especially when it is raspberry! Tim Horton's was doing their promotion of lemonade for just $1.

I really loved it, I usually avoid slushes because once you drink about half of the product, the rest is tasteless, this wasn't the case for this lemonade! I highly recommend it!
