Dear Subway: We're Over!

Author: WIBIA | Filed under: Announcements/News

Yes, that is right old friend…it’s over.   I used to like you when I lived in a small town of 30,000 people and you were the new kid on the block about a decade ago.  Now that I am older and live in the capitol city, it’s a new ballgame and you are getting trounced by the likes of Penn Station, Jersey Mike’s, Lenny’s Sub Shop and I will even say that Quizno’s is better.

Your catchy “$5 dollar foot long” song will have no effect on me in the future.  Btw, $5 foot long is just an ok deal.   At normal price, a foot long BMT is $6.39.   If I saw a $1.39 coupon in that circular, I am not sure that would make me go.  What does BMT stand for anyway?

Also, you are a tight wad on your toppings and meat.  Taken from the nutrition facts.
Look at grams alone Subway V Jersey Mikes:
Subway BMT: 12 inch= 484 grams
Jersey Mike’s Regular: #13: 7 inch = 482 grams

You add 5 inches of bread and the sandwich weighs the virtually the same?  Why, because there is no meat!  Let’s not even talk about the quality of the meat either. Speaking of meat, why did you put the meat on top and all the toppings on bottom? (pic above)  Come on, the order of assembly is in the word… toppings.

You are far better at marketing subs than making them.  You should consider a career change.  Also, the Jared Fogle campaign is played out.  He is from Indiana, went to Indiana University so I should like him.  Note to Jared: channel your inner fat man and start endorsing products that actually taste good.

Because of all the reasons above and a million more, consider us broken up.  And no, not even if you were the last sub on earth.

  1. Bravo, man.

  2. I’ve never had a problem with the amount of toppings/meat in Subway subs I’ve had. The thing is though…sometimes I feel like a lot of the deli meats tastes similar to one another…I don’t know…I tend to get sick of Subway every few months and have to take a break from it and revisit at a later time. I’m currently on a break from it.

  3. I like subway, but do hate their order of toppings too! (The mayo goes on the *bread*, people!!) And the roasted chicken breast tastes like it just jumped out of the processing machine.

  4. I consider myself a sub chain expert. I have had several different subs from several different chains including Planet Subs, Penn Station, Potbelly’s, Jimmy Johns, Silvermine Subs, Great Steaks and Patatoes, and Blimpie, just to name a few top players. Subway ranks number for me out of all of these. Also if you want more toppings all you have to do is ask because at Subway, unlike the other sub subs you or I have mentioned, has a great system of actually allowing the customer to watch and activley critique the way their sandwich is made by the sandwich artists.

  5. Tired of same old thing. Subway too expensive never has the bread available that i want. KFC always has chicken !
