Subway sandwich’s restaurant smell?

I started by emailing Subway’s headquarters and asking “what’s the smell in your shops?” At first, Subway seemed an incredibly polite corporation and I received a reply telling me “no problem, I can get you a few lines.” But they then proceeded to ghost me for the next three months. In total, I emailed 12 times and never once received an actual response.

If some fig from Vice emailed me a bunch of times, I'd ignore him too.

Subway sandwich’s restaurant smell?

Its called stale bread and day old ingredients

It's not real bread, and it's not real slice meat.

Subway is all HEAVILY processed. Taco Bell is better, even now with the risk of the runs.

It’s the smell of the Indians (Stop n Go, not Navajo) that own them.

Why the hell are you reposting a 2020 Vice article?

First of all, you shouldn't repost articles from 6 years ago from any website.

Second of all, Vice is so 2015, and it was already considered to be pretty lame by 2020, and it's considered even more lame now.

It's the slightly-off, sickening smell of Frankenbread sloafs baking in torment.

Gaffigan called it that "bread exhaust" smell

It has so much sugar in it that it's legally considered cake in Ireland.

To be fair, this is also true for most sandwich bread, even homemade, not just Subway. Ireland's VAT requirement for bread is that it is 2% or less sugar by weight of flour. Subway is ~10%. Your typical sandwich breads will be in the 3-6% range. Hell, technically in Ireland, brioche is considered cake too as far as taxation goes. They set that bar for what is considered "bread" pretty low since its tax is 0%.

I'm one of the few that actually like the smell of subway. I don't remember the last time I actually ate there though.
