A Sign that Winter is Nearly Over

The person who tossed this empty coffee cup on the ground littered.

But they had the courtesy to toss it in a way that left the rolled-up rim with "play again" showing.

What could be more Canadian?

    If Bridgehead did Roll Up the Rim, you would probably see things like:

    - free organic coffee
    - pair of Tom's Shoes
    - trip to Africa
    - 100 gc for Bridgehead
    - 10,000 to the charity of your choice

    seeing the photo of this lying in the snow reminds me of something my daughter did when we was probably only 2 or 3. we were walking down the road and she saw a roll of the rim but. down into the ditch she jumped to grab it and roll up the rim.

    funny!

    I hope littering isn't typically "Canadian". If so, we are in trouble. :P

    Hannah,

    If Tim Horton's coffee is a Canadian icon, then I am afraid either littering is typically Canadian or there is some sort of foreign conspiracy going on.

    J,

    I bet you're right about the Bridgehead prizes. Especially the donation to the charity of your choice.

    Sally and Raino,

    I'm sorry, I don't get either of your comments.

    "What could be more Canadian?"

    - taking a picture of a discarded Tim Horton's Coffee cup.

    - The fact that I'm sure you picked it up and disposed of it properly shortly after taking the photo.

    What I meant was: Did ya roll up the rim? after you said:

    But they had the courtesy to toss it in a way that left the rolled-up rim with "play again" showing.

    that's all...

    Darrell, excellent answer to the question and it has inspired me to add a topper:

    - using the discarded cup to collect used road salt at the bus stop and bringing the salt home to use on the sidewalk next winter.

    SalonSally, No, I didn't. I would have. But it was already rolled up.
