"Eat Fresh" means something different to Jared now in days

They went to Jared's!

Looks like Jared will be eating a different type of ,"footlong" soon.

The south-park episode with Chris Haaaaanson is epic!

According to the New York Daily News, Fogle has an estimated net worth of $15 million.

From subway commercials?

What the fuck

I can't believe anyone eats that crap. Is there ever an instance where there isn't a place to get a better hoagie within a couple minutes of a subway?

It's the devil you know.

People can smell the familiar rotten meat, and the dull gray-green color of the salami is a comforting hue.

I also wonder how they stay in business. Or not:

Subway’s U.S. sales last year declined 3 percent, or $400 million, falling faster than any other of America’s top 25 food chains.

Analysts have pointed to discounted prices for existing franchises, some of which can be bought for the price of a car, as a sign that some owners want out. And as sandwich sales have shrunk, the pressure on franchisees has increased.

Article fails to point out how little meat is on Subway's sandwiches, but article commentary does mention it.

Why franchise a sub shop in the first place?

Lettuce
Tomatoes
Onions
American cheese
Provolone cheese

Bread

Lunch meat

Especially when you're committed to the rules and crappy supplies with a franchise.

I rarely eat bread, but if I'm in the mood for a sub, I'd rather gouge me eyes out with my fingers then eat at Subway

Because you like paying 12% of your gross to corporate....I can't think of any reason why anyone would want to do it.

I want to know if the images were of obese children or not.
This is important to the story.

Fogle, 37, gained national fame as the restaurant chain’s pitchman after losing more than 240 pounds — weight loss he attributed to eating Subway sandwiches.

Subway fans achieve weight loss through vomiting. It's never digested far enough to make diarrhea.

You're thinking of Quizno's. "Quizzhshzh-nozzz" is the sound that your rear valve makes as you spray-paint the porcelain bowl with failed attempts to digest the ghastly witches' brew of bacterial pathogens, cryptosporidium, giardia and tapeworm eggs that make a Quizno's cutting board the envy of microbiology labs everywhere.

Can't we all just get along ? And have both diarrhea and vomiting at the same time ?

I won't eat at Subway unless they can prove all their ingredients are GMO.

What do you think CIC posts are?

I remember when subway first opened up, everything was fresh and awesome.

Last decade, you go in there and don't order anything with the Roast Beef, I can tell you that. The whole place has been squeezed to increase margins, and it comes out in the product.

Funny you should say that. I remember in 1995, Subway was decent. But in the past 10 years, it's been a diarrhea factory second only to Call It Crazy.

I haven't seen man-tits that big since I stumbled on CIC's Tinder profile.

I worked at a subway in HS for a couple months. 1998. It sucked then. I don't think I've eaten a sub there since

So true, since as far as I can tell, you don't lose weight by eating. Not eating yes, eating, no.

And the reason you were looking at CIC's tinder profile was???

I was doing some investigative reporting on the sexual abuse of animals in New Jersey.

Everyone that claims they love Subway change their tune when I mention why I never like Subway.

The meat is presliced then not only that it is separated from the other lunch meat which would have helped to keep it moist and fresh. Then it is placed on a wax paper strip which further leaches all of the moisture out of the meat, now this dried out meat with the nitrates has this opalescent haze over the meat, the wax paper is moist and damp capturing the dust particles as it rains down on the open prep area contaminating the meat. Do I need to describe the bread and veggies?

If the Deli isn't slicing the meat to order then I'm not eating a sandwich there.

I'll get lunch meat from a Deli to make sandwiches at home. But almost rarely do I ever eat any of the left over sandwich meat after that day. I'll have to be very hungry.
Slice lunch meat has pretty much lost it's appeal to me after about 2 hours of being sliced off the roll. The flavor, the texture, the chew the cut everything about lunch meat that I find appetizing just starts going to hell after a few hours of being sliced.

Also I'm very picky about the meat they are slicing.
If I order a lb of lunch meat and I see the Deli person grabbing a 2 inch thick nub to slice the meat. I'll ask the person to get a fresh roll from the case. If they won't I cancel.
If it is already whittled down to a 2 inch nub, then there's no telling how long it's been there, also the slices will be inconsistent widths as the slices start coming off the rounded end of the meat roll.

Also certain meats require different thicknesses.

Roast beef I like it thick the thicker the better.
Mortedella I like it as thin as possible with out actually shredding.

The deli slicer has to be super sharp and clean to cut Mortedella properly .
If it's not the side where it was being shoved into the blade will be thick, while the thickness tappers down to nothing actually shredding the last 1/3 of the other side.
Or it will just shred and lace rather than cutting precisely.

I can't count the times I've walked away from the Deli counter leaving the sorry offering the Deli help placed before me for acceptance.

I've got a shitty plastic like meat slicer at home I don't get perfect slices but better than half of the idiots out there with an industrial Hobart meat slicer.
You'd think it would be easy.

I think we have a winner!!!

Well there's the self loathing thing, then there's the temper tantrums and the demanding that everyone give them attention and bake them a cake, then don't even get me started on their fashion sense...

CaptainShuddup says

Well there's the self loathing thing,

That's the problem with being a Republican, not being gay. Gay democrats don't self-loathe, and republicans have every reason to loathe themselves.

CaptainShuddup says

the temper tantrums

You do realize that gay men aren't anything like Hollywood caricatures, right?

CaptainShuddup says

the demanding that everyone give them attention

Again, you're projecting. The entire equality under law thing is about not giving people special attention, positive or negative, for stupid reasons like sexual orientation.

CaptainShuddup says

bake them a cake

In order to have a business license and use of the extremely limited land devoted to commercial zoning, your business has to serve the entire community, not just the races, gender, sexual orientation, or other arbitrary groups you like. When you get access to commercially zoned land, you are preventing other from using it and other from benefiting from those alternative businesses.

You are also getting access to an enormous value created by public resources. No one builds a high-rise apartment building in the middle of nowhere. The value of the land upon which high-rise apartments, mega-gyms, supermarkets, strip malls, etc. comes from is all the public infrastructure around that land such as schools, police, fire departments, the electric grid, the sewer system, the streets, and the population that makes the area lucrative to business. And that population is there because of all the public infrastructure. So businesses are benefiting enormously by the public. As such, if a business is using any commercial land, then it has a legal obligation not to ban any subset of the public from benefiting from the commercial land via using the services of the business occupying that land.

This makes sense to anyone who isn't a moron. It's not a gay rights thing. It's a public rights thing.

So again I ask, what is wrong with homosexuality itself? If you don't have a rational answer for that, it's because only bigots have any problems with homosexuals. For people who aren't fucked up, a person's sexual gender is as relevant as the color and quantity of their ass hairs. It's not something we even think about when interacting with a person unless, of course, we're thinking about mating with them.
