Welcome to the first-rate review of my inquiry project! Just a recap that each week I will be reviewing a different Tim Horton’s donut and this week is a simple but classic, personally a fan favourite, the vanilla dip!
On Wednesday, January 25, I entered Tim Hortons with my gift card in hand and ready to start my inquiry project off strong with one of the best-reviewed donuts sitting at a solid 4.6/5 rating, the vanilla dip. The vanilla dip donut is an all-time favourite by those around as the Tim Horton’s website describes it as a “delicious baked good” with vanilla dipped frosting and an assortment of colourful sprinkles for a more appealing look that really suits the bill on this donut.
With the appealing price of only $1.29, the vanilla dip donut looked just as tasty sitting behind the glass as it was two inches away from my face about 10 minutes later. After resisting taking a small bite on the car ride home, I finally got to taste it, and it was what was to be expected. The frosting was gooey, and the sprinkles added a nice little crunch to the tasting experience. Though a little dried out and definitely not freshly made by any circumstances, it was still a tasty treat that satisfied the donut craving in that I would buy it again.
My experience was overall a delight. Despite it being lunchtime and having about 50 high school students sitting in all areas of the store, the line was non-existent, and the worker who had taken my order served a smile along with “Hi, “how are you doing today? What can I get for you?” in a nice comforting tone. This type of interaction with any fast food employee is always important because he showed a great amount of effort in making my 2-minute experience a memorable one that supports the Tim Hortons statement of “friendly, ready to help” Tim Horton’s workers.
Overall my first experience with this inquiry project is off to a good start and expanding this experience by also noticing that Tim Hortons is a great cheap place to go to get a dessert, especially for university students who need a pick-me-up. While browsing through their baked goods selection, most of the treats were no more than 5 dollars making Tim Hortons food tasty and affordable.
Though I was so eager to try this week’s donut I had seemed to forget to take a picture of it, so I have found one on unsplash.com that will do for this week! Very similar to the one I tried.
