Itd be fun to walk in and ask for something unique to Tims every day. Maybe order a double double and a toasted everything bagel with herb and garlic cream cheese. Next time ask if they can give you a couple of loonies in your change for the parking meter. Make sure your wearing a touque and carrying a duffelbag full of hockey equipment.

There used to be a "Canadian Tire" sign above a shop near Gwanghwamun. Copying is what they do here. Honda, hmmm. Let's just change it to "Hyundai", sounds different enough right? Oh, and let's put the Honda "H" symbol on a slight angle - H. There, now it's completely different.

Except "Honda" in Japanese is the family name of the founder and "Hyundai" in Korean means "modern". There was a Korean construction company "Hyundai" that was completely separate from the vehicle manufacturing company that existed before Honda was founded in Japan.

Now, Hyosung Motors on the other hand regularly and blatantly copy Honda motorcycles...
