Subway vs. Quiznos
I’ve officially banned Subway. Every time I eat there I come out smelling like formaldehyde or something. Anyone else notice that? The internet told me it was the smell of baking bread. It smells more like failure to me. I feel sorry for Jared’s wife. The other reason I’m banning Subway is because they are liars. The $5 footlong. Great invention. Any footlong was 5 bucks. Eventually they had to limit the $5 ones to certain subs. I was not mad about this. I understood. Recently they have been advertising that ANY sub is $5 again. That’s what drew me in. So I’m staring at the menu board, taking my typical 7.4 minutes to decide what to get, when the Sandwich Artist says, “Just so you know those ones aren’t $5.” “Oh…I thought any sub was $5. That’s weird.” Long awkward silence. “I guess I’ll have a turkey on honey oat.” Subway, you lost my future business, but more importantly you lost my trust.
Quiznos was always too expensive for me. Yes, I am a cheapskate. They offered $5 subs for a while to match Subway, but it didn’t last very long. However, a lot of their prices have come down and I think they still offer certain large subs for $5.50. What bugs me about Quiznos is that they are pretentious. They think they know what you want on your sub, and they charge you money if you disagree. It costs money to change the cheese for example. Please fire Joseph Stalin as the day manager and give us the freedom to choose.
Alright Subway fans, it’s time to defend your honor. Is smelling like a funeral home worth the money you save and the free veggie substitutions?

I’d actually like to vote for Blimpie, because their bread is really soft and they’re kind of an underdog and I love me an underdog.
Why do you make me choose!? They are both so gross, especially if you’re gluten intollerent and you have to ask them to make you a coldcut salad with oil&vinegar/salt&pepper for the dressing. Not one of my favorite life memories.
Clever Quizno pic! ;)
I agree I don’t really like either one. Red Rock Subs in Everett is the best sandwich shop. They have a pot roast sandwich with garlic mayo that is amazing.
I am not voting for either, either. Did you get that? Cause that was wierd. I vote for the Dodo. Turkey, swiss, BBQ sandwich is the best sandwich in Utah, hands down. And if I’m doing sandwich, I’m doing the Dodo.
I totally know what you mean about the smell. It’s intolerable, and I hate bread so it’s a double whammy. I vote neither, the best subs are at Port of Subs, the only one I know that’s left is in Bellingham.
I was told yesterday that I am never eating at Subway because Shanna hates the smell so bad she doesn’t even want me to smell it–and she says she could smell it on my clothes afterwards.
I think I have eaten at Quiznos twice in my life–not good either.
As for the Dodo–I HATE THAT PLACE. Worst service ever and not very good food.
Best Sandwich in Utah:
Philly Cheesteak at Moochies
Anything at Caputos
Anything at Muscimecis
Also the Robins Nest is pretty tasty.
Oh and I HATE THE DODO
I picked Quiznos but they are expensive.
I do hate the smell at Subway, but hate it even more after this post.
And can’t stop laughing at the subway fan link.
I love your sense of humor. Hilarious.
I’m not voting either. Subway is nasty and I can’t figure out why Quizno’s thinks that tosted bread is a fabulous feature to pay more for. I don’t care if my sandwich is toasted. That is so not a reason to go to quiznos. I won’t eat at either. Have you ever noticed that even the smallest, dirtiest, most white trash towns have a subway? Start noticing. Some towns don’t even have a McDonalds, but there is always a Subway. I’m going to go ahead and say that there is no way I’m getting fresh food in the middle of Mona Utah.
Quiznos all the way. I really like that place but after seeing all the haters I wonder if there is something wrong with me. Has no one tried the meatball or the steakhouse beef dip? (I just realized that both of these names sound gross.)
So in college I worked at Subway and I would store my uniform in a trashbag at the top of my closet so the stink wouldn’t get on any of my other clothes.
I got sick at Quiznos once and don’t think I can ever go back. I hate the smell of subway but I really like their sandwiches, especially on honey oat bread. Plus, I really dislike hot sandwiches, and that seems to be Quiznos thing.
I agree with Eva — Both suck and are gross, gluten intolerent or not. Yuck Yuck Yuck.
I eat at Subway. So sue me.
Holy hateraide Coleman. It’s not that bad. Have you ever had their Tollhouse pie? Now really, if you hate that, you aren’t human.
I completely agree about the weird smell in Subway. I don’t go for lunch during the workweek anymore because the smell totally permeates my clothes (even my winter coat) and I hate it. But I’m still voting for Subway because the $5 footlong is an amazing deal and the sandwiches are delicious.
[...] Subway vs. Quiznos. This one is still pretty close, but Subway is in the lead with 58% of the votes. I love that people refused to vote because they don’t like either and prefer other sandwich shops, but people seemed willing to vote on having either Paris Hilton or Amy Winehouse babysit their kids. I also love the Dodo exchange between Coleman and Amy R. And I love the Rooster Call at the Robin’s Nest. It is amazing. [...]
Quiznos = Luke warm sandwich with NO flavor
Subways = Decent sandwich WITH flavor!
Subway all the way! Down with Quiznos
