I can get a better sandwich at the local Haggen grocery store for less money, and the veggies in it are fresher.

I went to the local Quiznos twice. Both times the employees were so depressed I had my sandwich with a side of sadness. The sandwich tasted good but I couldn’t bear the though of entering again and returned to Subway where the owner was usually around and nobody was on suicide watch.

Yep. Joel Veitch was the best web animator ever.

Local is admirable but difficult. Local sourcing is a big part of the contamination problems that Chipotle has had.

IIRC they were also more expensive than Subway but not much better in terms of quality.

I started eating at Subway in 1987; they were the first sub-type sandwiches I regularly ate. I remember them being much better in years past. Now I don’t care for them, much. I’m not sure whether they got worse, or I’ve just had much better sandwiches in the intervening 31 years, or both.

Quiznos bread went from quite generous to the size of a slightly large hot dog bun. Definitely made the price to sandwich ratio really poor.
Canada must be different though because there are 6 Quiznos in Winnipeg. The quality actually varies a lot location to location, primarily driven by how fast they run the toaster. Fast toaster = crappy sandwich.

Same with pizza places that use conveyor ovens. The ones that turn up the heat and the speed to crank out instant pizzas make lousy pizzas.

i stopped eating at Quiznos because the one across from my office stopped serving polenta biscuits. as someone who prefers a steamed sammich… it was the biscuits that kept me coming back.

Thank you! That’s been annoying me through all these comments!
I wasted many an hour at rathergood.com. Happy days. Kittens!

I always enjoyed the cut back style - I still do. I now find myself watching a lot more kids TV. There are so many sleek and cheap 3D rendered cute animals with no love out there. Give me and my son rough and ready stop motion filled with love and humanity every time. I grew up watching Bagpuss, the Wombles and friends. There are some good new ones too - we both like Lily, for example. So here’s to lo-fi animation that makes me smile, be it kids TV or the most strange of the internets.

I’m guessing Jim Parsons would like to forget he ever did this ad:

The horrifying irony there is that places that bake bread should - by all the rules of the universe - smell AWESOME. Subways always smell like a baked rubber mat.

I don’t believe I ever saw one of these ads and I’m sure no one ever discussed the campaign with me.

If you walk into a Target that has a Subway, you get the same stink. Why does their bread smell so bad? It doesn’t taste that way to me.
Maybe you got one of their “torpedo” subs that came on the baguette style bread. I use to like these because it was smaller and cheaper than their regular sandwiches and so a good option if you weren’t too hungry. But I don’t even know if they still make these because all the Quiznos locations in my area are long gone.
They have normal, fatter bread if that’s your style though.
