When I lived in Warren, Ohio (up near Cleveland/Youngstown), they built the "World's Most Magnificent McDonald's" a few blocks from my house. It is a giant glass and brick building with a brass elevator, fountains, palm trees, and a grand piano on the second floor. Same food, though. It was really kind of funny.
Thanks, I wrote my letter.
If this is true, Subway will be taking the next Airplane overseas.
Actually its hard for me too, because I know atleast two Christian families who own Subways.
This line of restauants in many areas of this country are owned by Iranian nationals.
"I'm in. I only ate on $2.99-for-a-footlong Tuesdays only occassionally--they are crap... 99% processed white unhealthy bread & nutrition-free iceberg lettuce. No real vegetables, meat, 100% whole wheat breads, or cheese."
What are you talking about? Subway's subs aren't great, but what you say is not right.
I can get 3 or 4 varieties of white bread, or 100% whole wheat at the Subway I go to. I usually get tomatoes, onions, green peppers, black olives and jalapeno peppers (all real vegetables, no lettuce) on mine, as well as real cheddar cheese and whatever cold cuts I've chosen. I do find their prices have crept up over the years, though. $7 for a footlong cold-cut sub?
Actually, there's a Quiznos on Rt 1 (Boston Post Road) in Milford, CT. Not all that far from Subway's headquarters. But that's the only one I remember seeing here in the Nutmeg State.
Are Subway's independently owned and operated? Hate to screw some person trying to make a living because some corporate idiot in Marketing came up with a stupid campaign idea
There aren't nearly enough vegetables or meat or cheese, is what I meant. Tons and tons of iceberg lettuce, but very few actual vegetables. 3 slices of tomatoes, a few peppers, a few pickles, a few olives. Big deal. The local sub shop serves no iceberg lettuce, plenty of tomatoes and shaved carrots, pickles, olives, spinach, garlic, peppers.
As for the bread "varieties", that's just white bread with a few spices added. And "wheat bread" is dyed white bread. If it doesn't say 100% whole wheat, it's dyed. Look at the label the next time you go to the grocery store if you don't believe me.
I just got wind of your new "Why are American's so Fat?" campaign that you have running in Germany.

Thanks. But I have eaten my last Subway sandwich. Quizno's and Delaware will be getting my business from now on. I don't do business with companies that insult the Country I live in.

Darn, I can't join this bocott because I already can't eat at Subway. Can't have bread.
Like I said, Subway's not the greatest, but...
I don't know what your Subways are like, but I can get them to pile on as much of the veggies as I like at the one I got. And the wheat bread is whole wheat bread - it might not be 100% whole wheat, but it's certainly not just coloured white bread. It's marked as such and I can tell by the taste and texture. And I never get lettuce on my sub, anyway.
We have a few up here in Hartford county (Bishops corner in W. Hartford, and one down near the Middletown/Berlin line). I must say, I'm a food snob of sorts and the Quiznos sandwiches are fantastic. Seriously, they are really good.
Btw, Malsua, your profile page will hopefully help me out on my SpyWare-destroyed home pc. Thanks.
Quiznos sandwiches made with the low carb flat bread are seriously good.
>> Are Subway's independently owned and operated?<<
For the most part, yes. I think there are very very few corporate owned Subways, these are in places that are loss leaders but need to be there for exposure. It's been a years since I looked up Subway as an investment, it may all be different.
They do report sales back to the home base though. A small dent might become noticable.
>>Seriously, they are really good. <<
I keep hearing that :).

Cool, glad I could help. Freepmail if you get stuck.
If the thing won't even boot, download the utilities to a different machine, burn to CD, boot the victim in safe mode.
Safe mode really is the best way to make sure you squish all of it at once since some of the nastier ones run in several places and if you kill one place, the others will start it back up if you don't get them too.
Good Luck!
DeLay should worry more about his indictment than about a lunch meat commercial.
