Is yours 12 inches?

[Zeze]

I don't eat at subways (not because I'm a snob, just don't like subs much), but few times I ate, they give you so little meat but full of toppings, I was basically eating a salad sub.

I can go to any local joint which give you crapton of meat.

Baking ain't always perfect. Although, in a commercial setting you are constantly trying to make adjustments to the process so that the final product is within acceptable limits.

I wonder if 11" is within Subway's vision of small-acceptable? It's probably pretty close.

Or, the sandwich just got squished.

 

[mvbighead]

What difference does it make if the sandwich is 11 x 3 x 3, or 12.25 x 2.75 x 2.75? I'd wager a bet that they still use the same amount of dough, toppings, etc. IE - You are still getting all the same calories from a full 12", but it simply manages to measure a bit shorter due to some unknown factor. Do people really care about this crap?

Feel this way too. I'm actually disappointed when I have to eat at Subway. You shouldn't be able to see through the meat on a sub!

The local Kroger puts 1 LB of meat on their $3.99 subs. Not kidding

Oh, I've cut slices so thin, I couldn't even see them.

 

[slag]

lol Oh God, just give the guy a free sandwich or something..

People..I swear.

"I want the FULL 1000+ Calories, OKAY! I NEED all the carbs thats supposed to come with it too! WHO IS GOING TO COMPENSATE ME FOR MY HEARTACHE!? HMM?!"


One 6" Sandwhich from Subway is around 380-500 something calories depending on what you got and what you put on it. Probably more with some of the new shit their offering up there.

So a 6 inch sandwich is (assuming 500 calories), 1/5 the daily caloric intake? And this is bad how? An average sized guy needs 2400-2500 calories daily just to maintain according to most charts. Therefore, if you eat a 6 inch egg/ham sub for breakfast, one for lunch, and one for supper with a small bag of carrots or chips for a snack, how is this bad for you? Hell, you could even have one for a snack and still be ok.

Only after the viagra.

Do you tell the guys at Home Depot the same thing when you are buying 2x4s?

dont even get me started on that bullshit.

 

[dank69]

Request denied. What bullshit?

 

[TwiceOver]

That a 2x4 isn't really 2"x4".

I fail to see what point it is you are trying to make. food has calories? no shit when did that happen?

correct, when the boards are wet they measure 1 7/8" by 3 3/4"

the wood at home depot and lowes is pure shit. Its not dry so when it dries out it warps. I learned the hard way to buy kiln dried wood for projects from local lumber yards.

Things I learned today: don't buy wood from HD/Lowes

Oh, when you said "bullshit" I thought you meant that the dimensions not being 2x4 was the bullshit. Didn't realize you were talking about the Home Depot bit.

 

[Vdubchaos]

Since they are based in my home town, I will give them a break.

 

[dank69]

I think I'm going to pick up a footlong on the way home, compress it to 8-9 inches, take a picture and sue for millions.

 

[SagaLore]

Depends on whose foot they used to design the sub...

And where do you think Home Depot/Lowes get their wood?

And 2x4 were always .5 inch shorter, but I don't see tape measures and Facebook BS about that.

Well the label said product of canada... still no excuse

They certainly don't make it themselves. SO probably get it from the same place as the lumber yard.

Your local lumber yard surely wants business from people that are willing to overpay.

ANyways back to subway, foot long is not a "legal" measure. Heck Subway can just say "size of your foot". : D

I don't see any ground for a lawsuit here. Just like you can't go after any company for 2x4 thing

if you don't like it, don't buy it. Besides Subway is probably on a low end of sandwich shops. Go to your local deli if you want quality.....but you will pay the price AND get a smaller size.

my point is that the lumber sold at the box stores is shit becuase its soaking wet and had not been dried. as it dries the thing you built with it gets royally screwed and looks like shit.

that is all.

In my experience this is 100% the case for PT wood, but the standard stuff is dry. Full of knots, mind you, but dry.

Just had a sub and totally forgot to measure it!

As for whether you could sue, I doubt it. It's you vs big company. Big company wins, case closed. There is lot of false advertising out there. Most of it is based on the fact that it's partially true if you take specific things into account. For example, the sub's length is probably based on before it goes in the oven. 2x4 is based on before it goes through the planer etc... so they can just argue those points. It's still false advertising, since the end result is what you actually are paying for, but not much you can do.

A big one is hard drives. Despite the byte system being based on 1024 and not 1000 like metric system, hard drive manufacturers use the standard metric system of 1000 when measuring. When they say 1TB, what they really mean is 1,000,000,000,000 bytes and not 1,099,511,627,776 bytes like it should be. Thats 99,511,627,776 bytes less than what is advertised. Or ~100GB. That's a lot when you consider 10 years ago most computers did not even have 100GB.

Always been this way, nobody can sue for it because they'll just state that their measurement system is different so on THEIR measuring system, it's right.

I find home depot usually has pretty decent lumber, and knowing it's been sitting in the store for a while most likely, it's nice and dry. Only thing is the smaller lumber like 1x2's and even 1x6's tend to be all warped if they were not sitting flat. People sort through them and don't place back the ones they left so they get worse.

"A local franchise owner told the paper the chain has cut the portions of their cold-cut meats by 25 percent recently and raised the cost of food to individual store owners."

This is more outrageous.

Subway should be forced to advertise: Now with less meat!
