[@furrantee]

Subway is also one of those places, at least in the US, where location and the person making it factor in huge. There used to be two locations in my town, one literally gave me 4 spinach leaves when I asked for spinach once and everything tasted of nothing but bread.

[@barrymanriver4493]

19:35 As someone unfortunate enough to have to work there for a year, I can confirm that's exactly how they did it. Pick a bag of (probably stale because they were kept on top of the warm meatball cabinet) Doritos, chuck a spoonful of sauce (I think it was marinara sauce from the meatballs), a pitiful handful of grated cheese (you got a stern talking to if you used too much), and chuck it in the microwave for a minute. I don't know why they didn't use the industrial toasters. To this day it baffles me that anyone would pay for that torture in a box.

When did you record the UK portion of this? UK stores now stock Coca-Cola products instead of Pepsi and raspberry cheesecake cookies are also back (we had them until a few years ago but they are now back).

[@DeveusBelkan]

Pepsi must have done something to piss Subway off. I know a few years ago, Subway in the US also use to have Pepsi products and I was disappointed when they switched over to Coke.

[@Ray_Vun]

they probably filmed it when joe went to the uk to film those videos they did there. just like stuff with harry was likely filmed when he went to america to try american foods

[@danielleeming1027]

My local stores don't stock coke...

[@orientalmoons]

Yeah, the Coke machine at my local store in the UK was really disappointing. The Pepsi machine was a touchscreen with plenty of options (two or three kinds of Pepsi, 7up, Tango orange and Tango apple I think, Lipton peach iced tea, and a Robinson's juice). The Coke machine was the old style and only had four choices. And there was no ice machine 😮

[@blaizegottman4139]

I didn't know that

[@eyespliced]

1:20 huh, I also sometimes get the meatball sub with pickles. BUt i don't go to subway that often, as there is a jersey mikes that is closer to me, and they're pretty great.

Bread is extruded sponge loaf. Tomatoes are artificially reddened, meat is full of fillers. The whole menu is an exercise in cost reduction.

[@toddrunion2]

Where I live in NH there are 12 Subways close by. Most owned by the same owner and all are terrible. I used to spend a lot of time traveling locally in my job and ate at most of the 12 at some point. If you like a Lettuce Sub, then these places cant be beat. All cold cuts and cheeses were of the see thru variety. I stopped wasting my money and found all the decent mom'n pop sub shops to be vastly superior. I did stop at a Subway 1 time up in a teeny tiny beautiful town in Maine. I was hungry and my options were limited to Dunkin's or Subway. I got a 6" Italian. Just the standard 6" sub with oil and vinegar. I was shocked. It was packed with meat and cheese. Loaded. At that point I hadn't been in a subway in years. A few weeks later I thought I would try 1 of the local shops close to my home. Same story as before, see thru meat and cheese. I haven't been back in a Subway in over 8 years.

[@blaizegottman4139]

Yeah local delis are better

[@trillionx9830]

[@xnonsuchx]

The Series subs are largely a way to trick you into paying for more add-ons (e.g. double cheese, pepperoni on a meatball sub, bacon, etc.). Even though they say double cheese, I don’t think they’ve ever given me more than on a classic sub. And I think they got rid of the classic Italian to only have the Series option.

[@KendellLittlejohn]

[@unicornblood1991]

According to my own experience, UK Subway is much fatter than Finnish Subway. In Finland, I'm used to the fact that here they put a lot of vegetables and a little sauce and a little cheese.

[@jasminappleby779]

i mean you’re spot on about how they make the nachos Joe..

[@nighttimedaytime1192]

As food and drink seems to go wrong by the time you get it back to your studio.. cheese congeals, slush drinks melt etc... why not do this ? as your set is just a white background and a table, why not get a truck or a van or something, put your set in there, and park it right in the parking lot of the places you eating from ? that way you could get shooting right away and enjoy the products as they are supposed to be enjoyed....

This episode confirmed to me why I never go to subway and I do like my fast food.

[@Typical90child]

The cold cut combo is also entirely made of turkey. It's a turkey bologna, turkey ham and turkey salami

Substandard and never substantial. Not only does their product suck but in the US their franchises have a reputation for paying employees cash under the table, evading taxes. I had two friends who went to buy cars and because they had zero documented income from Subway (but loads of cash), they were denied car loans and had to buy junk cars for cash.
