Subway bread isn’t bread.

Too much sugar? The judges ought to try real sweetbreads.

Pantry, can we get a ruling?

I figured Bill Cain might be able to give us some insight. I assume he was Ross.

Ross was a 50 year old attorney that lives in Phoenix.

Italian herb and cheese more like Danish sugar and cream cheese amirite

And Bill isnt?

It’s weird that something so sugary could taste so cardboard-y

Actually, is that a lot of sugar? I have no frame of reference.

Always have questioned if some of Subway’s cold cuts were meat but the bread was surprising.

Not really.  Most breads you might bake would have a sugar content somewhere around 5-10% of the weight of the flour most likely closer to 5% but 10% would not be overly sweet or unusual.  2% of the weight of the flour would be unusually low but you might find that in some traditional French or Italian bread, some of which contain no sugar (or honey, etc.).  I would suspect that most bread you would buy at a grocery store in the US would be at least 10%.  Challah bread would typically be over the 10% mark.

For reference - a cake would have a sugar content well over 50% of the weight of the flour.

This news really threw me for a loop, so I started looking further into the company, and I was shocked. Did you guys know Subway isn’t even a real subway? It’s not even in a subway.
Not a real subway + not real bread = totally false advertising.

Bill is the same 50 year old lawyer that played Ross.

Haven't Subway in a few years. I don't like GMOs and I don't like indigestion.

Don't you listen to a lot of Springsteen?

Could you give us a taste of what those links say? I’d hate to visit those sites and have all my porn ads overrun by other, less offensive ads from their cookies.

Modern watermelons don't look that appetizing to me.

Broccoli isn’t natural. It’s a human creation.

Seedless watermelons suck. Needs a few more years of modifying to get right. IMO if you were to pick 10 seedless and 10 natty watermelon you'd get: ~3 good seedless and ~7 good seeded

Never liked Subway. Consider them one of the worst at "fast food". Not only is the food bad but slow as hell even if you're the only customer in the store. Haven't been there in probably 6-8 years.

The amount of sugar in fast food breads isn't surprising. The amount of salt in fast food breads isn't either. Got offered a Jimmy Johns box lunch today and turned it down. Haven't been to Jimmy Johns in a few years because I find their sub rolls overly salty. Refined sugar sucks. Refined salt is much worse.

Not a fan of watermelon, regardless of seeded or non. The only watermelon flavor I like is Jolly Rancher.

Himalayan pink salt FTW.

Haven't tried it yet.   Been happily using Celtic sea salt over 20 years.

The BBQ forum I'm on has been discussing salt for years.  Some don't believe it, but there is a taste difference.  Trying to get them to do a blind salt taste test at their next smoking bash.

Woman claims Subway sandwich wrapper was smeared with feces; company says it was simply chocolate

"I go to take a bite (at home), and I smell the exact same (expletive), look in the papers in between the two wrappers on the sandwich ... is literal (excrement)," Coyne said in the video. "We're not sure if it's dog or human (feces) right now."

In an email Tuesday, a Subway spokesperson who declined to be named said the Ingham County Health Department released an inspection report on Monday that concluded the brown residue was chocolate from a cookie.
