He saved up all his Roll Up The Rim To Win cups until one fateful morning, then won 80% of them

Interesting use of #statistics... though I gotta say, making #TimHortons #RollUpTheRim digital is kinda pointless when cups are still being given out for drinks (on top of being more cheatable), don't you think?

When an app crashes and freezes so your customer can’t pay for their order, earn points, enter your contest, or do anything else, the last thing they want to see is a cutesy message that says “Bummer”. #RollUpTheRim #BadUX

Whoever thought that "virtual" #rolluptherim would be a good idea should be sacked and never allowed in product design ever again.

Look at all the chaos and confusion #timhortons has caused. Their marketing, graphic design and UX on the whole thing is terrible. A giant arrow pointing to the rim of the cup on the physical cup....
