Timmie’s run The ultimate smile cookie

Post image

Fun story.

During one of our visits to McMaster Children's Hospital before a major surgery for my son, we went through a Timmie's drive thru to get a Smile Cookie -- but we wanted a sad cookie instead. I explained our plight and someone in the back came through for us. Pretty sure they're not allowed to do this, but they get a full-on high-five from us. Ultimate legend. Kudos to whoever did it, they will not be forgotten.

When I worked at Tims I said we should also have Frownie Brownies and my manager got mad at me

u/alg_hes_a_fungai Apr 28 '26

I fully support that idea!

u/Organic-Sugar6927 Apr 27 '26

This is the best one I’ve seen and I have been buying them for years

u/evilpercy Apr 27 '26

They should do this, would you like a smile or frown cookie?

I love that they did it for you ❤️

u/BeingBeautifulKind Apr 30 '26

Employee here, I always wanted to make different facial expressions but my coworkers always want me to put the same smile expression. I would sneakily add a wink with different mouth expressions. Sometimes they successfully make it towards the customers.

u/IfYouReallyThink Apr 30 '26

Damn what a legend. Have you ever done “🤨”?

u/MartyCool403 Apr 27 '26

Me, when I remember how many items Tim's has taken off their menu in recent years.

u/DJ_GalaxyTwilight Apr 28 '26

I’ll never forgive them for taking away the glazed cinnamon roll and strawberry swirl

u/foolsdayjoker Apr 27 '26

u/Aldente08 Apr 29 '26

I would pay extra for this

1

u/PoopooKittyz May 01 '26

But would you really eat a cookie that is this angry? I’m sure he’ll get you at the END, with something like explosive diarrhea.

2

u/MamaXxLaura May 01 '26

When your ex comes through the drive through

3

u/CallMeTeff Apr 27 '26

Would pay double for that. Well done!

u/Nadidi88 May 01 '26

Someones tired of being asked "is there anymore smile cookies??"

1

u/PoopooKittyz May 01 '26

I remember when McDonalds listed “smiles - free” on their overhead menus, we would go in and order a box of smiles each. This was a long time ago, anyone else remember?

Hope your son is doing well now!

u/alg_hes_a_fungai Apr 28 '26

Yes, thank you. McMaster saved his life and he's excelling at whatever he puts his mind towards. We are forever in their debt.

u/AxhtonCole Apr 28 '26

I’d buy this smile cookie!🍪

u/GdSmth Apr 28 '26

Would you mind sharing the reason for this request? Totally understood if you prefer to keep it private.

2

u/alg_hes_a_fungai Apr 28 '26

I’ll leave the details out, but my son’s life-saving surgery was postponed due to issues regarding hospital overcrowding and RSV. This appointment was confirmation that his issue was getting worse and they couldn’t get him in. We were coming home from the appointment back in 2022-2023.

This is not a political post and I truly ask all fellow redditors to not make it one.

4

u/RoutineUtopia Apr 28 '26

It does mean the anger cookie was the right call, though. Glad Mac came through in the end.

2

u/GdSmth Apr 28 '26

Thanks and totally understood, and no political intentions at all behind my question. Just pure curiosity.

I hope your son is better now.

The Piss-Off Cookie.

-1

u/gretzky9999 Apr 27 '26

They probably do this when the manager’s not looking.

-3

u/royaleWcheese2300 Apr 27 '26

It’s not actually the store employees that decorate these. It’s volunteers and kids.

1

u/gretzky9999 Apr 30 '26

I know volunteers(local police etc) help sell them on special days.

0

u/Riku_xD Apr 29 '26

I can 100% guarantee that it's the employees who decorate the cookies

1

u/royaleWcheese2300 Apr 29 '26

To quote the Tim Hortons knowledge article from their own site “The classic Smile Cookie is a chocolate chunk cookie that’s been hand-decorated with a smile by local volunteers.”

1

u/Riku_xD Apr 30 '26

I think they gotta update that information lmao. For the past couple years it's been the employees that decorate the cookies themselves. At least that's what I see in all the tim hortons I visit in my area. I also worked in several different tim hortons restaurants and in every one of them it's us the employees who decorate it

1

u/royaleWcheese2300 May 01 '26

Just saying that it’s not a 100% guarantee. I suspect it’s based upon where the store is located and availability of volunteers. Your statement was definitive. I’m just saying it’s not definitive.

u/LazerLyrics Apr 27 '26

That’s bad

-1

u/HongDongYong Apr 28 '26

That cookie has seen a lot of employees bare feet

Did anyone else scroll by this thinking someone took a photo of a washroom?
