Old Cut.


New Cut.

I don't know if many of you other people noticed this, but looking back, didn't the new cut start appearing just about the same time those new gourmet breads came out? Not to mention that @%!&*? hand puppet with the voice of the parrot from Aladdin. I believe that the introduction of these breads was not simply to allow the sandwich eater more choice, but also to distract patrons from the fact that it was being cut using an inferior method. Now, I'm all for innovation in the wheat sciences, but these breads hardly innovate. I was going through the drive-through at a Subway near my home, and I asked the gentleman behind the voice in the speaker to explain the difference between these new-fangled types of bread and, I kid you not, this is a quote:

Yeah, I miss that cut. One day it was just gone.

Hopefully this thread gets more attention than your last appeal to sanity.

[Veins]

wat

is up with the compression on those pictures

[akira28]

My subway cuts it the old way.

[Xeke]

Yeah, I miss that cut. One day it was just gone. Hopefully this thread gets more attention than your last appeal to sanity.

I certainly hope so.

[rhfb]

How about they bring back putting the right number of slices of cheese on a sub instead of half :<

[kittens]

I whole heartedly agree.

[DJ_Lae]

I don't miss it any more - the employees at all of the nearby Subways seem to have finally figured out how to properly fold the bread over on the massive heap of toppings I request of them without it spilling everywhere.

Eating it without making a mess is pretty easy too.

[Randolph Freelander]

Do not want.

[Ravager61]

Subway kind of sucks but I still eat there at least once a week. Trying to figure out what sorcery they employ to keep bringing me back.

[brianjones]

so basically more bread and less meat?

[SerArthurDayne]

Yeah, I miss that cut. One day it was just gone. Hopefully this thread gets more attention than your last appeal to sanity.

Damn. You have been bitter for years.

Never noticed. Won't complain about more bread.

[Tobor]

Old cut was terrible. There are people who want it back? WTF?

[UpperCaseN]

Ha! I was just thinking of this the other day. When they first made the transition, they had signs saying to just ask for the old way if you didn't want it the new way. I wondered if I asked for them to do it now, if the person would be able/know how to.

[Xeke]

so basically more bread and less meat?

Ingredients that didn't end up mostly on the wrapping...Especially the meatball.

[Barkley's Justice]

wow. youse need to broaden your gastronomy horizons.

[Full Recovery]

I don't see the problem, it's going to be in my belly in ten minutes anyways.

[samus i am]

The cut can't hide that Subway is bland and tasteless.

[Xeke]

It made Subway Subway, the Jared ad campaign and "new" breads ruined the experience. They moved to premeasured portions and shit. I remember when it was "wheat or white" and that was it.

[HeySeuss]

You know you can ask them to do this, right?

[fatigues_gasolini]

I worked at subway when they changed the cut. We held off doing the newest cut until wee were forced to. We were rebels. That and giving cheap subs to classmates with huge tits.

[onlyindreams]

holy shit where are these newfangled subways that have DRIVE-THRUS?

[Xeke]

You're a saint.

[shira]

Heard more veggies fit in the old cut

[Xeke]

More everything fit in the old cut. These were the days before the 5 dollar footlong shit when Subway was still up and coming.

[Full Recovery]

holy shit where are these newfangled subways that have DRIVE-THRUS?

Where have you been? Even my podunk town has a subway with a drive-thru.

[akira28]

Seriously, every subway I've been to in this area has done the wedge cut from the top. Even with their new gourmet breads. Maybe your subways just suck.

[Xeke]

Doesn't make it right. I remember when all Subways had the NYC subway system as wallpaper.

Well you're just incredibly lucky then, look at their corporate website, no wedge to be seen.

[Kozak]

I'm not even sure if we use the old cut or the new cut but I have to say the old cut looks weird as fuck?

I really don't understand at all. You cut out a piece of the bread, put toppings in and throw out the extra piece of bread?

[Xeke]

You cut out the large wedge of bread and place all the ingredients in the bread and place the wedge of bread back on top.

[SerArthurDayne]

Oh, I didn't realize they slapped it back on. I guess they hollow it out?

I prefer Jimmy John's for subs, but hate how they hollow out the bread a bit to make it sit nicer. I'll eat it with more bread and more mess, thanks.

[SouthernDragon]

When I lived in Beijing, I went to a sandwich shop where they used the wedge cut.

It was GLORIOUS.

[Style Fox]

You cut out the large wedge of bread and place all the ingredients in the bread and place the wedge of bread back on top.

That doesn't even sound that good.

[RangersFan]

good thing I go to blimpies.

[Xeke]

It was like creating a place for the ingredients and then putting the bread back on top. Bread on top and bottom like an actual sandwich.

That doesn't even sound that good.

So you've only ever eaten Subway post 2000? Okay.

[Satch]

I never really had a problem with the new cut. I actually didn't think too much about it.

I've switched to flatbread lately though and haven't looked back.

[Tobor]

That doesn't even sound that good.

It's not good. It's terrible. People bitched and moaned about it for years, that's why Subway gave up and changed to a proper cut.

[cashman]

why haven't all you losers gone to jersey mike's yet?

[ThoseDeafMutes]

I like the way they do it now.

[Lionel Mandrake]

Old cut is really only better for meatball, or other marinara sandwiches.

[Xeke]

It's not good. It's terrible. People bitched and moaned about it for years, that's why Subway gave up and changed to a proper cut.

If you like half of the sandwich shooting out on the wrapper.

Old cut.


New cut.

[brianjones]

why haven't all you losers gone to jersey mike's yet?

this where i usually go

not a fan of "mikes way" tho

[zerotol]

They stopped doing the wedge around the same time they stopped giving out the stamps you could put on your Subway card, right? I used to have a stack of stamped cards for free subs because my friend worked there and would just hook me up with extra stamps.

True, Subway stamps were awesome. Then they decided for the new shitty bread, no stamps and the new shitty cut. The sellout was complete.

The Subway BMT use to have Bologna but no longer. Welcome to the new shitty mass market Subway.

[Blearth]

Subway is to sandwiches what Dominoes is to pizza.

Go to a real deli if you want a sandwich.

[OpinionatedCyborg]

Yeah, all my veggies fall out now. fuck the new cut!

Subway is to sandwiches what Dominoes is to pizza. Go to a real deli if you want a sandwich.

but you can't walk 5 feet without finding a subway. it's an issue of convenience.

[Xeke]

Subway used to make a great sandwich before premeasured portions, the shitty new "gourmet" breads and the new cut. They used to have NYC subway wallpaper and would load on portions. No more.

[Zulithe]

I understand the frustration but Subway has way bigger problems than the cut of their bread.

Remember when Quiznos used to be better than Subway? Now I can barely tell their sandwiches apart. Race to the bottom... can't stand it.

At least I have Ike's Place. Wish there was one on every corner.

[Canuck76]

I get the new cut and rarely do have anything fall more than usual.

Watch your food and don't be a sloppy punk. That might fix the problem

[MidgarBlowedUp]

this where i usually go not a fan of "mikes way" tho

mike's way with no onion for me.
I also like Quiznos

I only eat subway when I'm really broke or don't feel like driving as far.
