That headline (“something inside me dies”) is from a lyric in a song from the Broadway musical How To Succeed in Business (Without Really Trying). The song is about coffee. And for many of us, I think it’s a fair — albeit sad — reflection of our daily dependence on caffeine.
In Monday’s column, I weigh in on the new “upsized” cups being offered at Tim Hortons, including the new “extra large” 24 ounce serving.
What about you? Ever wonder why Canadians tend to have such a warm and fuzzy relationship with this corporate stimulant seller? Ever tried to kick the habit? Ever give up coffee and feel good about it?
Let me know. (The coffee’s on me.)

Can anyone date when spending money on take-out coffee became
routine ? Not just having it at home or at the office, or in a coffee shop.
How to Succeed.. was on Broadway in Centennial year, and back
then “coffee break” meant a period of time, not just a hot drink.
Tim Hortons business gets so much free ink we often wonder if
media themselves did not help to create this profitable addiction.
More precisely, Broadway was ’61, the movie 1967.
Need to find some old coffee ads in magazines to see the homemaker
view.
