If you ever had any doubts about God/Allah/<insert Diety name> punishing sinners...

Yeah, I was desperate for food and the only thing I had on me was the Credit Card. It was after 9pm and generally everything in town that takes CC closes at 9pm. Except Subway. So I went in and ordered their Sweet Onion Chicken sandwich.

Now I know, you're going to say that I should have known better. And I probably should. I mean Subway is a long way down on the list of sub shops that are good, and doesn't have a good reputation in a lot of places. But I got it anyway. I have to say, the sub wasn't bad tasting, though watching the gal behind the counter microwave the "oven fresh chicken" kind of ruined the illusion. But I really shouldn't have eaten it.

Yestarday I was given "a sign from above" on my food choice. Or more accurately, a message from below. As in my colon. 2 hours into work I suddenly had to go right f%$#ing now. I spent another hour in the bathroom, managed to calm things down long enough to submit a leave card and go home, whereupon I spent another good long while in the bathroom. And it was the sandwich, no question about it. (I won't tell you how I know so as to keep it PG rated)

So, in closing, never eat at Subway unless you want to receive the digestive equivalent of a lightning bolt to the head.

I eat subway all the time and never have a problem with it...maybe your digestive system isn't used to taking in anything healthy?

 

[MrChad]

I eat Subway all the time without any digestive troubles. *shrug*

 

[Anubis]

i love the Sweet Onion Chicken sandwiches they are great, my colon has never had issues

 

[clamum]

I've eaten there many times and the food was always good. I usually get steak and pizza subs...

Heh today my gf and I ate at McDonald's and she found a bone in her chicken McNugget. :thumbsdown:

 

[cronos]

lol.
hope your stomach has settled down now. i never had any bad experience with Subway though.

i can imagine how you are feeling, sometimes it's hard to find quick food if you don't have cash ready.

I usually cook my own food, just my fridge is bare since I was on a week vacation. And yes, I cook with vegetables and whatnot. I make a mean Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad. Or my very own "Tomato Pesto Seafood Salad of Doom". And Fajitas. And Goulash. And Hamburgers. And so on and so forth.

The equivalent "healthy" subs from Port o' Subs and Quiznos don't do this to me.

You're really having trouble with fast food, aren't you?

I get the impression from your last few topics that you're somewhat of a food snob.

Yeah. Afterwards in a conversation with my Mom she asked me why I didn't just go by the bank and get a $20. It's weird; when you need food you don't want to go through a lot of steps.

Oh yeah, with the healthy angle: to be fair, I only went to Subway after I found out that Jimboy's -- makers of the tastiest, but greasiest, Americanized tacos ever -- was closed.

One of the risks of learning to cook I guess.

I do like McDonald's though. And Denny's. And Casino food. Nothing like a plate of food twice the size of your head for under $4.

P.S. For refference, I wear a size 7 7/8ths hat, so my head isn't small.


P.P.S. One of the reasons bad food irritates me so much is that food is one of the things I enjoy most in life. I wouldn't call myself a compulsive eater, but I don't just eat to fill my stomach. Whenever I eat I want it to be good. I want to enjoy every bite. And nothing pisses me off more than when somebody takes some food I love and turns it into crap. Especially when enough people don't notice that the place stays in business.

I used to like Subway, but I only got a basic Turkey and Salami. It's hard to mess that up.

I had my colon removed and replaced with stainless steel tubing a few years ago. Never had a problem with junk/spicy food since then. Now I can eat Subway or KFC any time I want.

I have had more "problems" from McDonalds than I have had from Subway. Actually, I cannot remember ever having problems from subway.

I would like to tell you that they are invariably good, but unfortunately there always seems to be a store or two that makes the food really crappy. (The one in Carson used to be like that) But there are tons in SacTo, since that's where the company is based. I know they have a few "flagship" Jimboy's that are guaranteed to be good, I just don't know where they are. In general if you find any news articles on the chain the stores they mention will be the good ones. There was also a feature-length article on Jimboy's in one of the free SacTo publications. If you ask at one of the stores they'll probably know.

It's good food, but in no way healthy. Trust me, there's a reason why people coming to SacTo for just about any reason will take the time to stop for a tasty Chicken Taco.

EDIT: I usually get 3 or 4 Chicken Tacos, an order of Fries and a side of Sour Cream. (To dip the fries in) Sometimes I get a Chicken Enchilada.

I had to go somewhere soon thereafter, so I couldn't take the time to sit down and eat.

you are just a magnet for sh1tty food

What is with you libeling fast food joints today?

Which story are we to believe? The Stix story, or this one? Maybe neither?

I would have posted the Stix story last week but I was without internet access. Y'know, kind of goes with camping.

Why do you have to pick one to believe? And what's with the skepticism? And where are my pants?
