    A “sandwich” made with “bread” that is more sugar than bread with mystery “tuna fish” that is totally 100% tuna.

      100 years after sliced bread was invented; bread that doesn’t stale and doesn’t mold for 2 weeks on a counter-top, and still Europe is baffled.

      There are reasons to add sugar to bread, quite a lot actually. It causes faster fermentation, increases the Maillard reaction, can make the bread softer, prevents going stale, etc.

      I’m not defending subway in particular: they are terrible. But it’s not because they add sugar to their bread dough. And Europe pretending this isn’t bread is food elitism that ignores that massive differences in production and culture.

      that is more sugar than bread

      Also very hyperbolic. Subway has 4% sugar, which is high but not cake. Cake recipes are often 25-50% sugar.

      Yes, in Ireland the Subway “bread” cannot be classified as bread because of the amount of sugar in it.

      The subway sandwich “bread” enters the cake category.

      Remember that time Subway paid a known pedophile 2 million dollars a year for 16 years?

      There, that should cancel out the marketing

          Not the entire time, but some people knew (though maybe not the full extent of it) and covered it up from what i remember

            Tangentially related but whenever a CEO gets found out to be a douchbag with skeletons in the closet they always act surprised and put a plan to fix stuff but it always comes out that everyone knew and nobody said anything, wouldn’t be surprised that people knew about this guy too.

    It originally said something like “MFS be like “subway sucks”” and then at the bottom it said “my brother in Christ you made the sandwich”

      Thanks, I totally forgot which meme that was.

      Although to defend the complainer: it’s hard to make a good sandwich when your ingredients are Subway.

      I’m currently reading a book called The Wager and I’m learning a lot about ships. Apparently like even your average ship was basically rebuilt each year because they just fell apart constantly. So I guess like all ships are Ships of Theseus.
