Hey there, time traveller!

TORONTO – Tim Hortons says its popular Iced Capp beverage will be available again later this week after a supply problem briefly pulled the frozen coffee drink from some restaurants.
Duncan Fulton, chief corporate officer of the chain’s parent company Restaurant Brands International Inc., says a batch of the company’s Iced Capp mix had a “different flavour profile than our standards.”
Multiple people on social media said the cold cappuccino had a peanut butter-like flavour, but Fulton said the batch in question contained no traces of peanuts and there is no recall in place.
He says Tim Hortons has asked its supplier to rush replacement mix to the coffee and doughnut shop.
Fulton says the restaurant expects to have the new mix in hand to resolve the supply disruption this week.
Tim Hortons describes the Iced Capp as the “ultimate Canadian drink of summer” but many customers took to social media to complain of the mid-winter shortage of the coffee drink.
“We had a minor supply disruption with Iced Capps,” Fulton said in an interview. “We should be back up and fully running by mid to end of this week.”
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Feb. 15, 2022.
