Are you off your meds. I was at a subway. The 12 inch is a normal size sub, how is that not true. They do not put much meat in, how is that not true. They overload on veggies and I don’t put veggies on my sandwiches. Not really know where you are coming from or why you are saying I am lying but I am not.

You’re opinion.

This turning into who’s pizza/Italian is better rant. We all got different taste and opinion’s AND there are NO expert on here that think they know it all when it comes to others taste. Subway IMO, (IN MY OPINION) is and always been bottom crawlers of the sub sandwiches. What It’s got going for them they are cheap and convenient. Sometimes, that wins out over persons taste. Yes, that’s my opinion of subway and it not going to change no matter what so called expert says. Another thing I like my BUNS toasted, I could give rats —- if it called sub, gyro, Cuban, submarine, or bun with the meat on it.

Fooled me, but now I looked again, it does look very 'spoofy!'

I cannot tell you how the two of us enjoy your understated humor. Hope you return to these shores soon and we can meet both of you in person.

P.S. I loved the subtitles. Sounds like a fun site.

Maybe there trying to add little humor?

You said all the meat is turkey based. Not true. I know, I have been a Subway Franchisee for over 35 years. You can also get as much meat as you want. Just add it. Standard subs are made to a formula but extras can always be added for a price. Subway base prices are less than Jersey Mike's or Firehouse. You want more, just pay for it. You want more veggies, free. You want less, no problem. And yes Subway sells footlong and also six inch subs, and wraps, and salads. You can order healthy or indulgent in your choices. And no other sub chain offers the number of options you can get at Subway. Oh, and no way is the steak "boiled". That's where I'm "coming from".

We eat Subway's tuna salad subs occasionally but would enjoy them more if they had decent bread like Publix's sub rolls. One day we were in the Colony Subway and they ran out of all bread except for Italian herbs and cheese. A couple customers didn't take it well. I should have suggested to one guy that he send his wife to Publix for their sub roll and then bring it back and order his sub.

IMO, no chain has great bread like Schlotsky's. They started up in Austin years ago and have made it to Georgia but not Florida. Used to get their Albuquerque Turkey to take on the plane whenever leaving Austin but since Austin remodeled their airport Schlotsky's must have been priced out.

The 12-inch sub is 12 inches, give or take a couple of millimeters. That's why it's called a foot-long. The 6-inch sub is approximately 6 inches. That's why it's called a 6-inch.

They put ZERO vegetables in the subs, unless you ask them to. And then, they will only put the vegetables you ask for, no more or less.

I think you've never been to a Subway because it's clear you have no idea how they make their subs.

Subway is rolling out new bread formulations next month. Research and consumer testing has been going on for 2 years.

Schlotskys went belly up a few years ago.

I am not the one that said turkey based, I said I ordered turkey. No where have I seen that you can order or buy additional meat, is that on the menu? Never been to a Jersey Mike’s or Firehouse. The boiled steak was a Subway in Seabrook NH and was probably 20 years ago but once your told that, you never go back to see if things have changed.

Thanks for the clarification. But, the menu is confusing. The name "cold cut combo" implies that it is a combination of cold cuts used in other sandwiches, and it says that the cold cuts are turkey based. Otherwise, what are they combining to make the cold cut combo?

It's a combination of turkey based ham, bologna, and salami, hence the term combo.
