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.

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

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..

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.

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.

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?

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.

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 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.
