A mate at subway told me this yesterday.
I don't know if you have to buy something or not.
I bought a six inch and said the monday line in Brisbane and worked.
You have to say these lines to the person who is making your sandwich on the correct day.
Monday 25/10. You eyes make a mango crazy. EXPIRED!!!!!!
Tuesday 26/10. You make me go Bananas
Wednesday 27/10. You're looking bery nice
Thursday 28/10. Hello my Caribbean queen
Friday 29/10. You make the heart of a mango boom, boom.

You do feel stupid saying this especially if it’s a guy completing your order.
Before you start just ask them if they know that there is a free smoothie for a purchase
because they might end up doing something nasty to your sandwich. lol

      As a former Subway employee, I strongly recommend all OzBargain members to avoid the processed crap that they serve. NOT FRESH AND NUTRITIOUS LADIES & GENTLEMEN!

      Heres a sample of the ingredients:Caribbean Smoothie 1363 KILOJOULES!IngredientsTropical juice [from concentrate: apple juice, orange juice , pineapple juice , passionfruit juice, from puree: mango , preservative (202), Vitamin C], Sorbet [water, sugar, invert syrup, maltodextrin, stabilisers (412, 410, 466), egg white powder], ice, frozen strawberries , pineapple puree , food acid (330), flavour, colours (102, 110)

      CERTAINLY NOT FRESH AND NUTRITIOUS!

        Lol wait you mean the smoothies or everything in general at subway?

        • dman801 on 26/10/2010 - 14:38

          Everything at Subway isn't fresh mate, even the bread is delivered frozen, then heated in the oven. The only ingredients that are fresh include the tomatoes, capsicum, onion and lettuce.

        • heatseeker424 on 26/10/2010 - 19:02

          @dman801
          Even the tomatoes, capsicum, onion and lettuce are delivered pre-cut in a massive bag.

        Of course it's not perfect food, but sure it's gotta be better than those fat soaked hamburgers from those other lot ?
        I don't expect each Subway to cure their own Ham, or make every one of the 8 or 10 sauces from scratch. So in terms of a lesser evil, I guess they must be ok.
        btw, when you work at any restaurant for 6 months+, the last thing you want to see is their food anymore. Trust me, even your dog will get sick of the same leftovers you bring home each night.
        Having said that, still appreciate your insider feedback and list of ingredients posted, thanks.

        • vwh on 26/10/2010 - 15:24

          Thing is, the other lot didn't make the claim that their food is fresh.
          In Australia, we called it misleading. Has legal implications too.

          "woolworths the freshfood people" also sell all sorts of other non-fresh stuff. some common sense is required.

        • vwh on 26/10/2010 - 16:15

          But Woolworths didn't specifically made the claim that their breads are freshly baked
          http://www.subway.com.au/info/our_menu/

          Hence, the misleading claim…which can get them in trouble.

          PS: Up until today, I've always thought that their bread is indeed baked fresh (i.e. not delivered frozen).

        • jessicalauren on 27/10/2010 - 17:14

          Actually vwh, I worked there for 2.5 years, and they DO bake their bread fresh daily. Every day. The process of baking doesn't take place before it's frozen and delivered to them. All the baking is done instore daily, therefore your claims are false and potentially defamatory! And THAT has legal implications too. Potentially.

        • dman801 on 27/10/2010 - 18:54

          Yes, the process of 'baking' is done in-store from frozen ingredients. It is certainly delivered frozen, and not fresh. Being a law student and working there for 5 weeks, I believe that it is surely public interest that honest, hard working Australians don't flush their money and health down the drain. @jessicalauren: Under Australian law, Subway could not possibly sue me under the tort of defamation, as it is a corporation with more than ten employees.

        • Narodnik on 28/10/2010 - 15:30

          @dman801:
          Yeah, but they can certainly go after you for injurious falsehood. Huzzah for Kirby J in Palmer Bruyn & Parker Pty Ltd v Parsons (2001) 208 CLR 388 at 425!

          Law students are a dime a dozen and torts is a first year subject, so everyone's covered that base. I don't mean any insult by that - I too am a law student.

        • dman801 on 28/10/2010 - 15:48

          @Narodnik - Firstly, what must Subway establish? That my statement was false. I challenge you to walk into any Subway store Australia wide and make an enquiry about the ingredients used in the composition of a sandwich.

          Bread:

          1. Delivered by Bidvest frozen, and stored at subzero temperature.
          2. Removed from frozen packaging and thawed in a Subway 'retarding' cabinet. (Presumably, this is the first stage of yeast activation.
          3. Employees then stylise the bread/add seasoning (for Honey Oat etc) to then place in a 'proofer'. (The humidity allows the yeast to activate completely, and this is why Subway stores have that disgusting smell).
          4. It is then placed in the baking oven, and cooled for racking.

          If you've ever worked in a bakery that produces 'fresh' bread, you will realise the difference in procedures and ingredients.

        • Narodnik on 29/10/2010 - 19:35

          I don't profess to know and honestly, have no interest in the outcome. However jessicalauren was disagreeing with your comment with her own evidence of having worked there. You wished to assert your 'legal authority' of immunity and I merely argued per incuriam; that is, missing the action of injurious falsehood. Have a great weekend.

        Your warnings on every Subway post are getting pretty sad and repetitive.

    also, back on topic, you notice how they always have the 'fresh' stuff like the tomatoes/lettuce etc in the large containers up front and the 'not so fresh' stuff tucked away in the back?? it's all mind games people, they know it, but you might not!

  • jug_head on 26/10/2010 - 22:29

    Any assertions that their bread is not baked fresh is incorrect. The DOUGH is delivered frozen as dough and then its baked fresh - not just warmed up or reheated - therefore it is baked and because its baked on that day and normally within a few hours then most would consider that to be fresh.

    excuse the verbose nature of the argument, just seems appropriate.

    In other news did you know that a large amount of the the fresh bread you buy at aupermarkets is stored frozen at the bakery (eg tiptop etc) prior to its delivery to the saupermarket?

    Thanks for the post OP. Its a good deal.

      Subway is an extremely UNETHICAL chain, at least McDonalds don't tout the health benefits of its products. The commonly recognised definition of fresh (in the context of food service) is 'foodstuffs not preserved, as by canning, smoking, or freezing'. Your argument is fundamentally flawed as I was referring to the nature of the ingredients used in the construction of a sandwich, not the method or procedural elements of its preparation. Did you know 3 Dodgeway cookies easily contains more fat and kilojoules than a Big Mac? Food for thought buddy.

      • bargainy on 27/10/2010 - 13:37

        Have you been living under a rock? Of course McDonalds tout their healthy choices and provide extensive nutrional info, just like Subway do. Your "commonly recognised definition of fresh" is an opinion; not fact. Are you suggesting a reasonable person would consider 3 cookies to be the equivalent of a Big Mac?

        • dman801 on 27/10/2010 - 14:09
          -1

          Does McDonalds maintain a web presence that uses the slogan 'eat fresh' and actively promotes its products as food containing '6 grams of fat or less' with a disclaimer in fine print? I think not. If you asked a reasonable bystander on the street whether they thought Subway was healthy or not, they would believe that it is indeed healthy. However this is incorrect, as mentioned in my above comment: 3 cookies easily contains more fat and kilojoules than a Big Mac. I'm definitely not saying it is equivalent, I'm saying it's worse. So if you were trying to lose weight you'd have more luck eating Maccas rather than eating Subway 'meal'.

      • Greazy Baush on 27/10/2010 - 17:11

        argh what with McDees putting healthy heart garbage all over there healthy meals?
        Much like Pubway.
        only on selected meals and products.

          Of course it's on selected meals and products. There's nothing wrong with advertising it like that. The consumer needs to take some responsibility for their own health.

          The world is getting waaaaay too spoonfed. Kids are bubblewrapped, marking in red ink pens is bad for children (!), now people are complaining that fast food is unhealthy. Nobody's forcing anyone to eat at maccas or subway. If the consumer is ignorant enough to not care about what they're putting in their mouths, the fault lies with them!

          Ages ago if you injured yourself while playing in a playground, it built you up. Now if a kid gets injured, their parents are quick to sue to get compensation. Be more responsible over yourselves, people!
