It's so expensive now too and the veggies taste like water. 6.99 for a 6inch cold cut in Canada

It's crazy to me how wildly varying Subways can be, all the Subways in my area are fairly decent and I like them.

I particularly like Subway because of the choice of veggies, I literally say "all veggies" at the veggies part and I know damn well I'm not even going to keep a fraction of the veggies at home. I can't even keep lettuce good for very long before it goes nasty.

I remember when the first one opened around me in high school and it was great and my friends and I hit it up pretty regularly. That was back when burger king was good to. Both went down over the years.

Where are you from? I was in Subway after a long break (a few years) and the only thing that changed was that they added vegan options, everything was as fresh and tasty as I remembered it. And expensive. Eastern EU here.

You fool, that was the Plastic Ticket. Due to inflation, some franchises may not have the Golden ones. You could've redeemed that for a free tour of Jared Fogle's house

Personally I'm the kind of guy that would probably just remove it and keep eating, however it should be noted that piece of plastic was likely wrapping one of the ingredients, that means one side would be clean and food safe but the other would be the side that laid on random stuff/surfaces, got pissed on by rats in the warehouse, etc etc. Again I wouldn't be too fussed myself because I think a bit of exposure to nasty stuff is part of life but I can definitely see how it could be a problem.

I find Subway absolutely gross anyway and would never eat there, my partner likes it though..

Subway worker: That's... That's the bread.

You don’t like bread that immediately squishes into warm paper towel cover in oregano?

Don't buy it then😂

I've got some coeliac family and they seem to have reasonable luck with some chippies! That will certainly vary by location and maybe you don't have a good one near you (or just don't like it as much), but chippies that do a good job of catering for gluten-free diets certainly exist

I’m merely a patron of the sandwich artist.

At Subway the customer picks the stuff that goes into the sandwich.

It's basically build your own food, except it's someone else's fingers in your food.

A footlong sub can be a meal, if you put enough stuff on it. And the veggies don’t make it cost more. Just load it up with everything and get your money’s worth.

When it costs that much, the choice makes sense.

But where I live, for whatever reason, Subway is less than half the price of full meals from nearby restaurants. That is in part because restaurants have gone up in price.

You haven't thought about the smell, you removed!

Not really. There was a lawsuit that claimed they contain no tuna. A lab found no tuna DNA, a different lab did. The lawsuit shifted to "does not contain only this type if tuna".

Also highly processed food (especially after it was cooked) does not contain any DNA that is identifiable.

On another note, an American friend that lives in Germany now told me that the German subs taste wayyyy better as in incomparably better

3 for 3 today for seeing memes previously voiced by Gianni and finding the Gianni link in the comments lol

If your chicken tastes like tuna, I don't know what to tell you

I worked at a Pizza Hut in highscool and the first months of college. I'd never eat there as a civilian but some of the shit were (the workers) made was downright delectable.

There's a kind of "unofficial" pizza hut menu that employees share around with all kinds of crazy stuff that you could never get just by customizing it online. The "twice-baked Hut Favorite meatball supreme" was my favorite and it took like 20 minutes to make all-in-all. I miss having that metabolism

"Fresh ingredients" is a questionable statement

I remember when they were putting so much sugar in the bread they legally couldn't call it bread anymore.

Remember the subway fake chicken controversy?

As someone who likes a good subway every once in a while, there are definitely a few things you should refrain from ordering. Chicken comes to mind.

Also, the recipe for bread they use in the US is different from many other countries because in those other countries the American version can't legally be called bread. (I think it had to do with the sugar content)

Subway also has a history of being pretty hostile towards anyone who speaks against their "healthy fast food" narrative. I mentioned chicken above, well they sued CBC for reporting on a study that found Subway chicken was only about 50% chicken DNA, with the rest being soy protein.

They were also sued a couple years back by someone claiming their tuna wasn't really tuna, but that case was dismissed by the plaintiff, citing pregnancy complications making it difficult to continue.

The ingredients are ok. It’s the bread. It smells weird, tastes awful and nowadays I can’t even walk past their stores without holding my nose.

The meat is so bad. Have a look at a slice of the salami next time you're there. Sometimes it seems more fat than anything else.

Subway is the most available fast food in a lot of rural Colorado towns, so I've eaten my share traveling around the state

Subway is just about the lowest quality garbage you can get. I think McDonald’s is maybe the only thing lower quality.

Quiznos still exists, there just aren’t as many anymore.

I also actually do like Subway.

It's it the best thing ever? No. But when I have the choice between McDonald's, some bread bun with maybe a single slice of salad and subway, the choice is very clear. All their options come with good amounts of veggies, they had decent vegetarian options quite early, their cookies rock and they were one of the few offering free refills.

I dunno what the snobbism is always about. I love it when I need to wait for a train and Subway is an option.
