So, I used to enjoy a sub from Subway from time to time. Ever since their annoying commercials about “Five dollar foot-longs” came out I have’nt been back since. I don’t think I could even walk into a Subway without being reminded of that shitty jingle. Curses on Subway.:mad:
its a good deal, dont hate :o
Five, five, five dollar foot longs!
i’m so glad i have almost zero exposure to american commercial advertising.
without even dipping into the subliminal effects of 24 hour a day bombardment by advertisements telling you you’re inadequate, and that purchasing a number of products are the only cure- they’re so cheesy that any small entertainment value that may be derived from the terrible television programming that exists to serve as the comm-ad platform simply isn’t even close to worth it. once a year or so i’ll turn my TV on, in one of those exceptionally rare, brief moments where i’m feeling so lazy that sitting on the couch and staring mutely, dumbly at a screen actually seems appealing for some reason, and can’t get through the first set of commercials before the TV gets shut off and the remote control thrown back into the junk drawer in the kitchen.
I avoid this by not watching TV. Problem solved.
I’m a fan of Firehouse. Only reason I ever go to Subway is for the meatball subs.
I have submitted this thing on other forums. They have been much more active and I even recieved a PM telling me that in some other country, Subway stocks just lost value.![]()
Yeah Firehouse is the way to go, but you have to admit it’s a good deal for $5. …
five dollar fooot loooooooooong
lol
I am with you on the add sucking major.
I avoid them since they bailed on the healthy wraps and now have multiple forms of high carb crap - IMHO.
this…
I was boycotting them because their sandwhichs suck. Back in the 80s they were good. Now you have to get double meat just to get something that passes for finger food.
i always get double meat… and it’s expensive, so i rarely go there. a 6" with double meat is more than a 12" with regular meat… i dont want to eat a shit ton of bread and hardly any meat.
Firehouse meatball sub > Subway meatball sub ![]()
And yeah, Subway’s freaking annoying commercials have kept me away.
it’s easier and more enjoyable to boycott TV
Oh, I fully agree, but there’s 1 firehouse subs in my town and it’s very crowded during lunch. When I get a chance to eat, I’m usually not near the FH location.
I love that commercial.
I get subway every now and then but vastly prefer Firehouse’s turkey. It’s sliced thin (the only way to enjoy it) and fresher due to the fact that firehouse is like a mini deli.
Oh, and their oatmeal raisin cookies are off the chain!
Publix subs are the way to go, IMO.
Subway subs are just tiny these days.
Now there’s a damn good post…
