If anyone thinks this sounds frivolous just remember that we have to keep tabs on these corporations. Chipotle walked backwards after people started smelling the bullshit and quit going

Subway has previously made headlines in legal news because their footlongs were under a foot long, and because their 100% chicken was half soy. If anything, they deserve some extra scrutiny.

Love to see this

Subway has constant contamination outbreaks causing waves of food poisoning like every year. They killed someone in the UK. McDonald's literally just killed someone with bad quarter pounders.

I got food poisoning from subway once and have never had it since. Being concerned about whether it looks like the advertisement is gone, we're back to having to be concerned about whether you could die from eating something. Isn't it nice, I feel far more connected to the traditional ways before germ theory.

They killed someone in the UK. McDonald’s literally just killed someone with bad quarter pounders.

To add context, the CDC announced the cause to be the yellow onions [1] in the quarter pounders; McDonalds stopped serving onions in their quarter pounders and stopped sourcing onions from that supplier facility "indefinitely" (Taylor Farms in Colorado Springs) [2].
