Subway
Subway is a sandwich franchise that has become famous for offering footlong sandwiches. The name Subway originated from the fact that the sandwiches are long like a subway train.
Originally, Subway was intended to be a healthy alternative to the fast food industry. However, with their endless options of bread, meats, and cheeses, each sandwich can easily pack enough calories to make you feel like you just took a trip to the moon.
While the original Subway sandwich was a basic ham and cheese, over the years, Subway has expanded their menu to include more exotic ingredients like avocado and sriracha sauce. Unfortunately, these additions can often result in a sandwich that’s a little too fancy for its own good.
Despite the risk of ending up with a subpar Subway sandwich, customers continue to flock to the restaurant. It seems that the convenience of being able to order a sandwich the way you want it is just too good to resist.
Subway has also become famous for their “Five Dollar Footlong” deal which has been both a gift and a curse to college students everywhere. The low price makes it nearly impossible to say no to a sandwich, but the aftermath of eating said sandwich can make it difficult to focus on anything other than the overwhelming feeling of fullness.
Overall, Subway may not be the healthiest option out there, but it certainly is one of the most popular. Who needs a fancy artisanal sandwich when you can have a footlong sandwich that’s big enough to feed a small army?
