Perhaps you're correct. If so my mistake. I took a doubletake when I saw it.
Exactly. When are all these nannies going to roll up their sleeves, open up a "healthy fast food" restaurant chain and show the rest of us slobs how it's done?
They didn't say anything, but they did type the word on the quickly shown screen. Perhaps you're correct, If so, my apologies and mistake.
Me too. I like Subway. I usually go with the turkey & ham. I prefer just lettuce on mine, but you can pile it high with veggies if you want.
Yes, it is fast food. But it is usually reasonably fresh, isn't microwaved like McD or BK, has less fat and I can watch it being made.
If you want a great sub, find a good deli. If you are on the road and don't want a grease burger, then Subway is usually pretty good. I also like Quizno's. I also like Pizza, and sometimes get a bacon cheeseburger 'cause sometimes it is good to have the grease running down your arms as you eat a sandwich.
But Subway is alright.
Here in New England, I have no idea how Subways even survive the marketplace. There's a mom-and-pop sub shop on virtually every street corner and their subs blow away anything Subway is making. One of my favorite subs is pepper and egg with mushrooms. Can't get that one at Subway.
Can't be done. Healthy food is more expensive and more difficult to portion, transport and store.
Have you seen the commercial or have you been able to find a link to a copy?
As far as Subway goes, the only recommendation I can make is to try the cold-cut combo...with double meat.
Everything else pretty much sucks, but I suspect that you dramatically decrease your chances of dropping dead on the spot by eating that as compared to, say, a double Quarter-Pounder with cheese.
Yo Watts, the wimp leg-warmer-wearing-pants-wetter what wrote this article got something backwards. De Luca could care less about sammiches, he LOVES Bridgeport.
B'port right now is a poverty-stricken, run-down, tension-ridden home of various hydramatic groups including many, many illegals and could really use a kick in the economy from any source, including the highly suspicious Connecticut "Native Americans." (Donald Trump was correct. He has more Indian genes than they do.) As far as crooks go, the local Demos run a sort of Philly/Chicago operation, but without the savoir-faire.
You could order a salad, or a vegetarian sandwich. The chain markets seven subs with six grams of fat or less.
But for the most part, the staple of this franchise is processed meats and cheeses, soft drinks and chips.
I've never been into a Subway, or any restaurant for that matter, where the employees actually force me to eat food that "experts" consider unhealthy. I am not a fan of Subway because it is my impression that they use poor quality foods, but it is getting tiring to read all the articles that blame businesses for something that is a personal responsibility.
Hemophilia is a disorder which does not allow the blot to clot.
If a person with hemophilia were to take Bayer aspirin, which has the effect of thinning the blood and also works towards reducing clotting, they would be putting themselves at far greater risk than if they took nothing at all. I doubt that Bayer would recommend their product to a hemophiliac.
I don't like subway sandwiches very much at all. The ingredients are ok but the roll tastes like paper.
Perhaps I'm mistaken. I remember the similar basketball scene. First 2 message screenshots were associate with the social commentary, 2nd read find freedom, 1st, thought was overcome homophobia, but perhaps it was shortly displayed and mentioned hemophilia. The third and forth screen messages seemed to then make the jump in information content to hemophilia, heart diesease and/or Bayer.
Thanks for the link,..I had gone there but hadn't found that ad.
I am currently creating a roasted T-bone with juicy red peppers and little onions. 2 eggs over easy. Potato bread toasted with butter and marmalade. Strong hot tea with a dash of Limoncino for the lemon taste. Mmmmm. Nice breakfast, but I don't have a cigar for after:(
mmmmmm.... turkey based ham...
Of course, don't add cheese, salt, and high fat dressing. What's so hard about that? I am so tired ot these "super size" Nazis.
I've seen the commercial, there's nothing about homophobia, for one thing how would aspirin cure homophobia. The message of the commercial is that the kid is afraid of getting hurt because he has some medical condition but thanks to the wonders of Bayer he'll be safe so he can get in the game.
