It's no surprise that Tim Hortons has been expanding their menu over the past few years to identify more as a restaurant and less as a quick coffee and doughnut stop. There really is something nostalgic about remembering the days when you could only get bagels, a few baked goods, and coffee from the Canadian chain. Well, those days seem to be way behind us. READ ALSO: Starbucks Drinks Are 50% Off Across Canada Today TL;DR With the addition of regular-size chicken strips to Tim Hortons menu today, Canadians are furiously tweeting about the new food item and its poor quality. Tweets below for more details. Tim Hortons actually just introduced their brand new menu item today, so if you were still getting used to the fact that they now sell "Timmies Minis," you might want to buckle up for this. Chicken strips have just been added to the menu across Canada. They were first released as an option for "Timmies Minis" last month but now the food item is available in a regular size. This could be seen as a plus for anyone who enjoys a bit more than a bagel with their coffee, but so far it seems like every Canadian has a bone to pick with Tim Hortons right now. It just so turns out the entire country decided to tweet out their frustration over the new Tim Hortons food item. As of now it looks like the food chain has made a terrible mistake... So Tim Hortons decided to get chicken strips. I think it’s best they stick to donuts and coffee... — alexxandra♡ (@allysperdutiixo) January 8, 2019 Maybe @TimHortons should ditch the chicken strips and fake happy meals, and return to what got them to where they are: freshly made in house donuts, good tasting coffee, and well cared after employees. If you want to make a change, serve Montreal style bagels. That’d be welcome. — Ryan Wright (@ryanwright) January 8, 2019 PSA: Tim Hortons got rid of the Crispy Chicken and replaced it with chicken fingers.Let me also mention that 5 fingers cost $9.36 — Meg (@ItsMaeganSnow) January 9, 2019 Many people were not happy about the price. @TimHortons why am I paying $4 for 2 chicken strips ?? — douche canoe (@EGALLY17) January 8, 2019 Tim Hortons has chicken strips?

And ones half the size of the other wtf... pic.twitter.com/AERS98vGBg — Colin B. (@justtoored) January 9, 2019 Others were totally surprised by the fact that Tim Hortons was even planning to drop the new menu item. Since when did Tim Hortons get chicken strips ??? — DG. (@TriggaTweets) January 9, 2019 Why does Tim Hortons have chicken strips — Dru’s Clues🦏 (@YoungMoleman) January 7, 2019 are you kidding me @TimHortons ? i paid 6$ for the 3 tiniest chicken fingers AND they didn’t even have the sauce advertised #whatawasteofmoney pic.twitter.com/c1icvQCHBi — tay (@jasminetaybell) January 9, 2019 The rest of Canadians have been busy complaining about the quality and presentation of the strips. So this is what 6 bucks gets you for three chicken "strips" at @TimHortons Sauce included for scale. Sorry I asked. pic.twitter.com/N1jBEbHwfa — Al Brown (@CivilWaterGuy) January 10, 2019 @TimHortons I went thru your drive thru on the west mall I ordered 2 orders of chicken strips I asked if it could be made a meal HisReply you want kids meals ME No I want two orders of chicken strips + coffee here’s a pic of UR com &pic of what I received does that look the same pic.twitter.com/GeHKVrFE7c — L (@RoxanneCWhiting) January 9, 2019 And then there are those who are already done with the new Tim Hortons... @TimHortons this is what you get for $4? New chicken tenders are very disappointing. Give smaller bbq, you can't use it all. When the kids ask, now you can say no. pic.twitter.com/RwjsRciDSF — Angelo Heifa (@AngeloHeifa) January 10, 2019 Me: Hey @TimHortons the lines are getting a little long now with your expanded menu for me, who orders a coffee or twoTim Hortons: have you tried our new CHICKEN FINGERS?
