New this season, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.timhortons.com\/en\/menu\/hot-smoothee.html\">hot smoothies<\/a>. Okay, maybe the hazelnut and the butter cream ones would be okay, if you&#8217;re into hyper-sweet sticky beverages. I take my coffee without sugar, so I&#8217;m not impartial here, and I&#8217;ve never liked flavoured coffees. But a hot orange smoothie? Bleck!! What were they thinking?<\/p>\n<p>Someone in the marketing department decided to take a run at Starbucks or something, because they&#8217;re also offering &#8220;flavour shots&#8221; in hazelnut, butter caramel, orange and raspberry. &#8220;It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a whole new way to enjoy your favourite Tim Hortons\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 beverage. &#8220;<\/p>\n<p>Call me a purist if you must, but please keep your syrup away from my coffee.
