So I see this commercial for Quiznos Sub the other day saying their large footlongs are $5 now, apparently in response to the Subway deal. Since Quiznos is way better than Subway IMHO I decide that today will be Quiznos Sub day so I scrounge $5 up for lunch plus $.65 for a can of pop.
I go to the Quiznos website for some reason and see that they only have 4 subs at that $5 price and the normal "classic" subs are $7. WTF???? They try and come up with a marketing gimmick to steal back customers then they only offer the price on a few items. I'm so glad I didn't go in and get charged $7. I would have been so pissed.
Looks like I either head to Subway or get the Sweet and Sour Chicken special at the chinese place today.

It's the same with subway, they only have select subs that are 5 dollars... What did you expect?

Subway pretty much had/has all their normal subs on sale. The double meat ones aren't of course, but they even have salads and stuff for $5.
Hell, from Quiznos I only wanted a classic italian. How fraking hard would it be to offer up a $1 sandwich for $5???

Quiznos had the Krispy Kreme effect on me. Awesome at first, but it gets old quick. I can't stand them anymore...too rich in taste.

^^^Nail on the head about the, I call it "sweet." (richness)
Subway isn't bad, but you don't go in there expecting a real deli sub, either.
When I go to Subway I get a Turkey Wrap w/cheese, lettuce, tomato, black olives, jalapenos, spicy southwest sauce, salt and pepper extra vinegar and oil! I like that it's quick and not too bad for ya.
If I want a sammich I'm going to da deli.
That is messed up about that though, yeah Subway has a better campaign in that they offer more and the commercials aren't so misleading. I only went to Quiznos when I was in college, lol. (one on campus)
