QUIZNO'S TOASTY TORPEDOES


According to the ad: "It's over a foot of flavor on a slim, sleek ciabatta for only $4"

To start with, they're small (imagine a bread stick sandwich), and I'm not the only one to complain about it. The guy holding one in the photo below must have the longest hands on the planet.


Additionally, the bread is heavy and doughy; a ciabatta in name only and it comes with the same old fixin's & salad dressing.


And their web site talks dirty to you ("Put it in me: Mmmmm", "I'm waiting for it" and "We both enjoyed that...", etc and it's raising a few hackles in certain circles...
