I have a very big beef with Tim Hortons calorie counting if you look on their
website look at the breakfast sandwich the sausage and egg and cheese into five
hundred fifteen calories that's what it says you go into it
then you look at the list it says the type sausage an egg only it says five
fifteen then below there's a different calorie counts for different breads you
change that the top number doesn't change it stays at 515 which according
my calculation it's not possible
Oh No
hello welcome to a very special episode
of the vlog because today we are in Niagara Falls Canada we are atop the Skylon
tower looking over the falls we can see the United States while we were in
Canada you came across the border Rainbow Bridge to meet me here today we
are testing Tim Hortons versus Dunkin Donuts two national brands both beloved
by their own countries Tim Hortons is Canada's favourite coffee America runs
on Dunkin that's it this is the test to end all debates the pride of each
country is on the line which one is better so is what we're gonna do I'm
gonna go to a Tim Hortons just down the street from here you were gonna go back
across that border Dunkin Donuts get some stuff and bring it on back and
we're gonna meet back up the tower and we could have planned this better you know?
I want to be together for the intro
They're gonna ask me why I'm crossing the border three times today they'll be fine you
definitely want to compare similar items right yeah so clearly coffee we'll both
get medium black you think you got to do black that's the only way you're gonna
be able to taste similarities between the two maybe a breakfast sandwich
sausage egg cheese on English muffin that seems pretty standard good with
that doughnuts obviously doughnuts and Timbits which is a doughnut hole yes for
munchkins for the Dunkin Donuts I don't know if that is anyway and then we want
to get special items that are unique to the chain so something that you can't
get at Dunkin and some that I can't get at Tim Hortons so we'll try everything
and we're gonna score it the winning point goes to whichever country's item
is better of course the highest score will win
I hope Tim Hortons wins because by the end of it I'm gonna make you wear these
nope yep not gonna happen it's gonna happen for once I'm not gonna wear a mic
all this time you are gonna have to wear these no ready oh there's no way I'm
wearing that you know I'm pretty confident I don't know
we're going down to our cars separating and coming back here in a few minutes as
long as they don't stop me at the border it looks pretty suspicious all right you
ready yeah go
we're on our way get the keys
hey there's I'm here I'm Parker how do I get into this image okay I'm here
serious are you gonna throw it in here Eddie
busting cream donut or chocolate glaze medium black coffee I don't carry this
off medium black sugar milk come inside and
also a Boston cream doughnut back to the tower
well there it is hi I'm there coming boy are you here where I'm in a different
lot should I come there okay
with
what a journey hello sir hey where are we we are a top
of the Skylon tower on the Canadian side of the in Agra Falls one of the wonders
of the world is beautiful I've never been here before so much stuff here I
don't want to start the copy's the sizing looks the same what does it mean
yeah medium the lids just are new oh I like that way better look how much
more real estate you have for your lip here and this is so small oh that's
awesome look oh my god that's cool tadpole you got a break area splasher
there's a reason no there's no reseal oh it's just yours oh yeah it goes but oh
my god okay step one to the Lord and fix that black ops II meant after than me
okay here's what we're gonna do we're gonna put the copies into anonymous cups
like market in the bottom so that nobody knows until we look at it you know which
ones better Tee tee
so you should look and I'm gonna split and then you're gonna flip oh and I'm
not gonna look these are both Tim's right now to use this and then we both
have Tim's and Duncan I'm flipping these okay
they were secret so strike battle witness has to be done I'm gonna turn
away ready all right let's blindfold this is just making it even more
okay yeah we're going first Cheers where's your cheers dude okay
it's good it likes one let's see Cheers oh where are you a little more bitter I
think let's try this again I like this one struggling I don't love either
what are you going what do you like better I like they're locked away better
okay okay me too I think I like this one later on my leg this one okay let's see
okay Tim says cheers Tim one is that one nothing Canada yeah yeah hey I just want
to say overall I drink way more Tim Hortons than they do Dunkin Donuts right
because you live in Buffalo and a lot of Buffalo Tim Hortons locations but that's
not normal not across American I don't know America
runs on Dunkin but I live you ready here so yeah it's importance of like leeched
their way into the borders yeah yeah Tim Hortons let's move on to the breakfast
sandwich let's look at them first oh wow that is a beefy that looks nice
over that that is incredibly similar we have a difference here Oh yours eggs
look nice eh I don't like Libra Tim Hortons because they have pre-made eggs
they probably do here - unless they break - you do they break them because I
know McDonald's breaks their eggs real don't know if they do it's too perfect
oh my egg is it looks better yours looks better mine's a mess the muffin looks
better your sausage looks better that smells let's much more seasoned
yeah like I don't even have much of a smell - no we're gonna cut them in half
Cheers it's not bad that's what I'm used to
I do love McDonald's breakfast you know Egg McMuffins
like the best as a fast food place that gives breakfast mhm
the egg is fresh everything seems much more fresh and healthier here is a fine
alternative alright coffee to cleanse the palate yep it is so much worse stuff
yeah that is just beauty I feel like that should give at least a half a point
you get a half a point for dessert to live point five to one all right going
over to normal this is okay dude this looks like a freshly cracked egg alright
let's try it out mm-hmm I like it mm-hmm I think I like it better but you know
what mm-hmm the sausage is overpowering everything
yes I want to enjoy the egg it looks more fresh crack I'm gonna give this to
Duncan you all right I think the sausage is better for Duncan the egg looks more
fresh the bread it was just a cleaner bigger sandwich American runs on Dunkin
for this one i right point is that one point five to one yeah
also I want to mention that in Canada we have these milk packets where America
I've noticed they just cannot find them anywhere you have them with cream nope
see that they had to give you milk physically like their own pet no but we
have prepackaged 2% milk no we don't I don't think we have one you make a bowl
of cereal yes well you're gonna put your milk in and then I'm gonna put in seven
sugar no you're not you know I used to collect sugar packets that's weird it is
I know you think I'm crazy but now I can see your night yeah we haven't even
talked about the prices the coffee dollar 76 Canadians for the Tim Hortons
coffee the Dunkin Coffee is two dollars and forty eight cents it's that much
more expensive and as an exchange rate which makes it even more expensive let's
compare this with my app here XC currency if you'd like to sponsor us
this is a dollar seventy six this Canadian is three dollars and twenty
eight cents oh my god that's nuts this is much cheaper and better from the
taste test what we just did it's a breakfast sandwich yours is for 70 us
Timmins $3.00 79 cents Canadian bill cheaper and and throughout the whole
entire menu is cheaper and overall less calories in Canada
- mornin I mean yeah this is what we've discovered in the McDonald's when we did
it McDonald's comparison you have the video of America likes to just add in
those headin you're paying more for more calories yep can I take that extra point
five for at least that overall prices in calorie yeah I mean I guess you have to
on that size one point five Wow tie game let's move on the Munchkins
excuse me the Munchkins know there's Timbits munchkins
what the hell's a munchkin with the doughnut hole oh it's a timid this is
where you call them actually have their own unique and yeah let's see what we
got here oh what a bunch of chocolate pudding
yeah let's do chocolate glaze I'm already noticing a significant
difference visually my nice little glaze unreal and I'll get one of your take
please take one all right don't taste this first mmm okay I screw it up
alright I'm gonna try the Dunkin munchkin dry well no good however if you
were to dunk your doughnuts as the name implies this will absorb more it's a
little denser it's better at face value honest home Timbits better than one spin
that's another point for me isn't it no two point five to one point five okay
Boston cream packaging way better Oh for the donut small wave it Oh mine's a
disaster oh no yeah cuz you get all probably mushed in Joe there's a nasty
look at that it's not gonna be pretty look okay so packaging that's a full
point I'm I came a lot further distance - oh yeah it's 2.5 2.5 all right this is
ruining it for you you want to talk later filled is it as it is with Tim
Hortons doughnuts this happened this is a mess life expectancy of doughnuts much
better in America alright there's gonna be goo inside I
hope so cut it right in the middle and hope that's where they put it there you
go yours is so much nicer oh my god look
this look at yours we don't need to look at my okay so Tim Hortons no kid this is
Boston cream mm-hmm okay alright fine take it you're just
appetising it doesn't Oh softer right away mm-hmm is the chocolate better
though there's no no no yours got wiped away but even what was left a lot down
there I don't know I like the taste of this chocolate as much you got to do the
cream that's worth that it was hard I think these are no points for these I
think they cancel each other out I think yours looks better and tastes decent
this is a mess but I think I might have tasted better I think I think I like it
better I think the only reason I like the Tim Hortons ones better is because
there was more chocolate I think I like the taste of chocolate looking I like
the cream in Duncan's butter I think we can agree there's no point it's a Boyd
Boyd there'll be no points given do you have
a specialty doughnut for me that we can't get I got one for you I believe so
this is a maple glazed doughnut nothing more Canadian that yep and it's filled
with cream this looks good yeah so no pancake that stays like a
pancake cuz of the maple it's good let's just compare these two to each other
which one overall is better yeah just like a strawberry cherry something or
other mm-hmm I like it mmm that's different
I've never had something like that before I think the maple is better and
we have to really like fake strawberry flavoring for this to be your doughnut of
choice in my opinion it's just regular bland don't underneath
I'm starting to feel this.
I'm a little sweaty
yeah very warm.
is it hot up here?
this is great so we got the whole area to ourselves
you ever come Niagara Falls come over the Canadian side come top the Skylon Tower
this is an incredible view it's beautiful I want to thank John Surla
forget helping to secure this location he's actually the next CFL player he's
the first documentary ever did on this guy and he's from Niagara falls.
You know what would be fun? CFL vs. NFL
is that like a foreshadowing
for future episode or something I used to work for the CFL I work for the NFL
what's next I have a blueberry muffin oh me too
whoo oh my god that is glorious look at all that sugar on top that's a problem
though Jesus how much more sugar you been trying to cover up.
Tim's blueberry muffin is a dollar 49 in Canada in America 221 US dollars that's
crazy. I'm gonna cook this it's hard to get
through the top here mine's falling apart it's flimsy don't mind he looks
better usually I want to eat the Duncan muffin
more than I want the Tim Hortons yeah right your blue looks purple
this smells way better this smells like a muffin so smell look you got half the
point so far eat the Tim's versions first mm-hmm yeah
I usually do this makes it better yeah feel like it just wasted calories right
yeah it's just empty calories it's not fun
Dunkin' muffin hey oh oh oh my god oh you win take the point take whatever you
want mmm this feels like a sponge just just
throw this this Tim's went out so go mmm I have a very big beef with Tim Hortons
calorie counting in my research I've discovered something wrong with what
they're telling you do you think they're lying about their calories yes
specifically for the breakfast sandwich if you look on their website you look at
the breakfast sandwich that when we ate the sausage and egg and cheese and then
515 calories that's what it says you go into it then you look at the list it
says the type sausage an egg only it says 515 then below there's a different
calories accounts for different breads you can change that the top number doesn't
change it stays at 515 which i think is only talking about the sausage and egg
together is 515 calories without the bread without the bread without the heat
oh my gosh so you add up the bread separately of a
hundred and forty five whatever and then the cheese slice it's over 700 calories
but they don't tell you it doesn't say that anywhere I'm doing the math myself
I don't know if it's your system is incorrect but Tim Hortons please figure
this out because this is very concerning if you look at the the screen in the
store it's about 5:20 for the sandwich which is different than what it says
online which is different from when you add up the calories of the best thing
they qualify a sandwich is egg in sausage you had a hash brown and the
sandwich I believe the coffee 560 calories on their screen that's what it
says but according my calculation that's not possible it's not possible
so please figure this out you may have just the whole world of calories yeah
maybe the account is right and your math is wrong
I'm hoping it's that and it's not that it's actually more than we know anyways
let's continue so this is a healthy egg white milky green yeah yeah it's like a
veggie omelet look look at that thing that's beauty we definitely don't have
anything this healthy and Tim we're in the cell I like it you want some sure
what you think that's okay this is clearly not made in house there's way
too much cheese on the fridge for it to be healthy though doesn't taste bad like
I like the bread the bread is kind of cool that's a specialty item but you
guys don't have here's my specialty I'm what is that is a bagel belt set of the
BLT it's belt bacon eggs lettuce tomato you can choose
any bagel you like so I went sesame seed I hope you're alright with that I
wouldn't have gotten it that way no no oh you got I like plain what looks good
it is good
yeah we'd have that anytime a day mm-hmm we like better they're completely
different things yeah sorry to compare this to pick I would pick this really
yeah at least they have an option for that healthy this is a Walsh solo again
because they're both their own thing though but I almost want to give you a
half a point because of that cool option this is hard can I have done can win
yeah I can't have done good weird kid I I think you can based on what we've
picked today it's not by a lot the coffee coffee is this a huge dude it's a
big problem that's almost worth 2 points you can't just add retro points just
animate yourself feel better this is so difficult on taste alone though who do
you pick the muffin way better I told him yeah also you have almond milk and
skim milk already hey Oliver we don't have a Tim Horton's I think you're gonna
bring it up soon well if they haven't already I see but we have the packets of
milk we get way more milk that's true I can't drink that for a day and it's not
in the bag so who's wearing these I think the United States wins this one
because America runs on Dunkin I love Tim Hortons oh it's the Nationals friend
from the muffin to the packaging to the sandwiches I think you gotta wear these
my friend but turn them off there's different settings all right
we know what what when we're comparing coffee places you gotta I gotta give you
guys credit the Tim Hortons coffee is way better so for that reason will you
I'll do this for you just so you feel better yes
whoa weird you look great
congratulations say you want to see something else we've done we did this
with McDonald's in the universe of American McDonald's you can watch that
video right over here or over here when we went to Montreal and tried my trail
poutine that was very very puts it if you like you can subscribe so you know
we put out a new video cheers - oh no
