Man Upset About Sandwich Throws Snake Behind Tim Hortons Counter

(Martin Rottler)

Breakfast sandwiches are serious business. Two men are in police custody in Saskatchewan, Canada after one of them threw a snake behind the counter at a Tim Hortons coffee shop. Why throw a snake? It’s not quite clear why someone would weaponize serpents, but the fast-food dispute involved the question of whether Tim Hortons should dice its onions on sandwiches.

According to police, the argument began at 7:30 this morning, when two 20-year-old men stopped by their local Tim Hortons and began arguing with the employee at the counter over the crucial issue of whether onions should be diced in a sandwich or not. (Depends on the type of sandwich: diced onions are more likely to fall out unless you’re eating a pita or the diced onions are in a tuna, chicken, or deviled ham salad.) One of the men reached into the other’s coat pocket and hurled something behind the counter at his opponent: a snake.

The CBC reports that employees ran away. While the snake turned out to be a small, completely non-poisonous, and adorable garter snake, they didn’t know that at the time. When someone weaponizes a snake and throws it at you, it’s wise to get out of the way quickly.

The snake-throwers remain in police custody, and will face charges of mischief and causing a disturbance. Yes, “mischief,” that’s the word.

The snake is in custody, too: it is hanging out in a foster home until spring, when it will be released into the wild. It may be wondering what it ever did to deserve months in snake jail.

Send Us Your Nominees For The Worst Ads Of 2014

Even though many of us now try to employ our DVRs and streaming services to avoid as many commercials as possible, there are times when you have little choice; just ask anyone who has watched a Sunday afternoon football game and been attacked by the same truck and beer ads run, ad nauseam, during every time out. So here’s your chance to vent and call out the worst of the worst.

Shoot us your suggestions for the year’s worst commercials at WCIA@consumerist.com.

Try to be as specific as possible. Writing “Those insurance ads! Arrgggh!!” is probably an accurate sentiment but doesn’t help us identify the ads in question. It would really help (but isn’t required) if you link to YouTube clips (or other video sources) of the specific commercials, so that we know exactly which commercial is bugging you.

Feel free to come up with your own categories for awards beyond the mere worst of the year. Several of last year’s winners were in reader-created categories, like the “Humbert Humbert Award for Stepdad of the Year,” (for those creepy Kay Jewelers commercials) and the “Meet the New Flo Award for Loudmouth Spokesperson Who Needs to Just Back Off a Bit” that was given to The Phillips Colon Health Lady.

So be creative, or at least more creative than the people who get paid a lot of money to create these ads.

Deadline for nominations is Monday, Dec. 15, at 5 p.m. ET.

American Airlines Plans To Spend $2B Refreshing Planes, Lobbies

(BriYYZ)

Indulging in a makeover every now and then always makes for a nice change of pace, and when you’re a major airline, it also comes with quite a hefty price tag. American Airlines said it’s going to splash out $2 billion in an effort to spiff up its plane and lobbies after its merger with US Airways.

The time is right for a fresh new face, says the carrier’s chairman and top dog, Doug Parker.

While the union of American Airlines parent AMR Corp. and US Airways was completed last December, the two plan to fully become integrated in 2015.

“Now that we have the network to compete globally, we’re going to deliver a product that’s better than our competitors,” Parker said, reports the Chicago Tribune. “Refreshed cabins and clubs, modernized ticket counters, improved technology and new aircraft.”

Making things look nice will also include new lie-flat seats and WiFi on international flights, power outlets, updated lobby designs with power outlets and work tables near gates and some planes that feature walk-up bars in business class. Yes, I said a walk-up bar IN THE SKY.

This year, American Airlines got 100 aircraft, and will be taking delivery of 112 more new planes in 2015 and 86 in 2016, the company said.
