I ate at an Arby's once. I think it was around the time Bill Clinton just
got elected. I remember the bread was so fake yellow it surely was food
coloring. And the "roast beef" was more like roast beef flavored slices of
paper saturated in salt. I was still drinking pints of water hours later as
the salt content was so high it made my lips shrivel.

I am no food snob. I just want something decent at a fair price. I'll eat
anything as long as it is honest and made with good ingredients. But Subway
is now on my list of never again chain food shops. Never, ever again.
There is bad and there is unforgiveable bad and Subway is the latter.
