In their September 25-October 8 issue Canadian Business magazine ran a blind test on four corporate coffees: McDonalds, the new Coke, Tim Hortons and Starbucks.

Guess who won? Mickey D's.

Any coffee I had ever had to buy from the Golden Arches had tasted either like dishsoap or street tar. I wouldn't have dreamt of buying one from there again.

Guess what? The Canadian version (don't know about the millions sold in the States) had been upgraded in 2003.

And guess what? the taste test was right.
