Subway Atkins Wraps not as advertised

[Rudee]

Just saw an investigative report on a local news channel in which they did an independant nutritional analysis of Subways Atkins wraps. The analysis showed 20 gms of carbohydrates as opposed to the 11 gms Subway claims. Food for thought....

Same reason why I don't eat Quizno's subs. I refuse to pay the high price for a tiny sub sandwich.

Actual carbs and net carbs are two different things.

yeah...compared to 90% of the other sandwich shops that are in the Phoenix area...subway is like eating from a dumpster. (not that i know...just what i'd assume it would be like).

Yep. Someone at the TV station is an illiterate idiot.

As you can see, the ads clearly say NET carbs.

Oh haha they didn't even put that into perspective? Silly buggars! But if you can't find good news, you can always make it up I guess.

Pretty funny they spent the money for an independent lab to find out what subway has already told all their customers... LMAO

And look here at the complete nutritional info:

Oh, GEE! They do say it has 22 grams of total carbs, but only 11 NET carbs.

What TV station was this?

 

[StageLeft]

HAHAHA OWNED (tv station)!!!

 

[pyonir]

pwn3d.

 

[BCYL]

We should all email the TV station telling them what a fool they have made of themselves...

EDIT: Better yet, email subway and get them to sue the TV station...

Hah, those carb noobs. Did that station mention anything about those wraps making you retain 40-50 lbs of fluid and dying shortly thereafter?

WOOSH!

 

[Amused]

So Rudee, are you going to give us the name of the local channel that pulled this boner?

Kind of reminds me of the undercover tests that were performed on Starbucks Decaf coffee -- which showed high amounts of caffeine.

Only this one was wrong. The TV station is full of illiterate idiots who cannot understand the difference between "net" and total carbs. If you read the whole thread, you'll understand.

Subway is nasty. Cousins is much better.
