I was reminded of this again the other day when my mother in law was visiting to see our new daughter. Since they don't have the privilege of enjoying the taste of a Tim Horton's coffee when ever they want, we make sure to indulge them here. Well it just so happens, that she came right in the height of the Rrrrroll up the Rim to win contest that we get to enjoy, and quite frankly take for advantage (cant count how many unrolled rims I have see carelessly discarded). Anyway back to the point, when we were out enjoying a Timmie's my mother in law kept wanting to throw the cup away with out rolling the rim, and when we reminded her, she still didn't really want to because in order to roll the rim, you need to have super strong fingers (like the guy in the ad) or you have to use your teeth and get er done. Well the teeth were her only option as the fingers weren't gettin' er done.
This brings me to the final point of this post. In order to fix this problem someone in Ontario came up with the Rim Roller. It is actually quite simply but makes life so much nicer, you don't have to go to the gym and work out your fingers, and your dentist doesn't get to take all you money when repairs are needed on your teeth. The roller simply pushed down over the rim and when you pull it up, two little blades cut it and then it pulls the rim right up to reveal a winner, or in most cases a cordial invitation to come back and do it all over again.
So to you, mister rim roller inventor guy, I salute you and say thanks!!! Now Ontario can brag about something and actually have western Canadians agree with them (no you are not the center of the universe!!)
