Subway sandwiches disgust me

I truly don't know how people enjoy subway. It really isnt healthy for you. The meat, vegies, etc are disgusting. They only put like 5 slices of meat on the entire sandwich. Blows my mind how people enjoy this garbage. Even the $5 footlong isnt even that good of a deal. After tax its 5.40 for me, so it ends up being 6 because i just toss the change into my change pile. For 6 bucks i can go to a real deli and get something that actually has turkey, ham, roast beef, etc on it. LOL at all the food "experts" who like subway

what's wrong with eating previously frozen/refrigerated food? there's no way to get around it.

yeah, i think that's most of it. personally i just love subs so im easy to please, but most of subway's popularity can be explained by the fact that it's actually more common than mcdonald's and is SORT OF cheap (depending on what you get) and way healthier than any other fast food

Actually just quit my job there.

Its actually the largest franchise in the world, with more locations than any other store.

Yes, it is far healthier than most other fast foods, the veggies, and meats/cheeses you see on the line were made that day, or day before, and have to be thrown out after 3-5 days tops.

Everything is tested daily for temperature, to make sure its correct cooling, and half the veggies are cut in store, such as onions, cucumbers, etc.

In the dead of winter all of my vegetables and berries are frozen. If you defrost it at room temperature the quality will be much better than grocery store produce

In anyone who reads this thread is from Bozeman-- Franks....am I right, or am I right? Sandwiches so good they're damn near worth the 9.5 hour drive it would now take me to get there.

this! I always get those, its like $3 where I live for a Fat subway like sandwich but double the width,



For future subway interactions...if you do not feel they made your sandwich with love or adequate ingredients, ask them to make it fatter, and if you are denied, simply say you did not come in to buy a poorly made sandwich and leave

I don't care about Subway, but I want to hear more about 'food experts'. Who are these people? Do you get qualifications for this? I personally have been eating food on a tri or quad daily basis for a number of years, does this make me an expert? :s

i feel like i could find 50 "experts" saying that eating that

like a fucking candy bar is fully healthy.


like seriously, obviously an extreme example, but these people say you have to eat warm twice or once a day, never eat after 6/8/10 pm or always before 6/8/10 am and all that shit. this is good or not or healthy or more healthy than the next thing and the next thing will lead to cancer or whatnot.

just think for a second what could be healthy/good for the environment and its probably not too bad for you.

To the people confused as to how subway with its salads and everything else can be unhealthy. Yes it may not have much fat but the salt, sugars and calorie content is way high. i dont want to think how much water they add to the meat processing stage. People get so hung up on fat when you talk about healthy food when sugars salt and calories are just as important if not more. If i am travellin and there is absolutely no other choice than a subway or some other chain i might go but after having food poisoning an my brother having aswell id almost rather go hungry. (food poisoning from meatball marinara and some other thing they did i cant remember, its what you get when you leave food stewing between 40f and 140f all day)

Subway is the worst sub money can buy.

Went after a long break because nothing else was around and it was like 8 am and wanted non breakfast. Shitty fucking sub. Had to go no tomatoes or lettuce because both were fucked.



The veggies there are generally fucked. you get a .0001 of an inch of meat on your 8 dollar sub, and they give it to you on "bread".




Theres signs that say "we bake our own bread". That's fucking bullshit. To really do that you need to fucking bake bread, not pour some mystery powder and water in a pan and throw it in a fucking ez bake oven. There's a reason why real places get there bread from a fucking bakery.


fuck subway, shit is hood as fuck. You don't get shit for your 8 bucks.

how are u gonna complain about price when you toss sixty cents into the change pile everytime?

also im sure subway varies from location to location-remember, its a franchise, so random people own stores and can tell there employees how much meat to put on etc. my subways have always been pretty good about meat, sounds like your subways sucks.

Dude, you're fucking retarded.


Subway doesn't just vary massively between locations because they're owned by different people. It's a fucking chain, you have to do things a certain way. The point of a chain is consistency form one to the next.


Subway is a fucking rip off. They give you practically nothing for me. For the 8 bucks a roast beef costs I could get a dank as sub at a real place with real bread, fresh veggies, and 5 times as much meat.



Subway is a fucking joke. Just looking into those bins makes me cringe. And before you say, that's just one location. Nah, that's easily 50 and all over the country.


subway blows

american subway sucks shit to be honest, i always eat canadian subway and its great. sure delis or pizza places make killer toasted sub but i much rather eat some mystery meat with an array of veggies than greasy mystery meat from mcdicks or burger king

Do people actually do that? I grew up in DE, basically a suburb of Philly, and no one eats subway there. No one. I assumed the whole EC was like that, considering wherever there are Italians and Jews, there are fucking amazing delis, sub shops, cheesesteaks, etc.

I didn't try Subway until I was like 20 and out west.

P.S. The garbage that passes for a "sandwich" west of the Mississippi sucks dick.

had a look at the nutrtitional values sheet, its a scary place if you know context and healthy amounts. if you look up for a 6inch including sauce plus a drink and a cookie,seems like a decent enough size lunch, holy fuck are there some big numbers for salt sugar and fat, putting it into context as to what is considered to be a healthy intake for a whole day. you can double your sugar and salt intake with a sub and cookie in one go. you also might think a wrap is a healthier choice than bread, wrong its got triple the fat, double the carbs and almost double the salt. after seeing that i dont want to see what mcds and burger king etc are churning out and calling food
