Quizzno’s $5 Dollar Sub Deal
Quizzno's $5.00 Sub Sandwich
I stopped at the Quizzno's restaurant off Lockwood Blvd and Route 224 for dinner tonight. I saw all the commercials from Subway and from Quizzno's. Both joints are touting $5 dollar foot long sandwiches. Well, feast your eyes upon Quizzno's version of the $5 dollar sub.

To begin with, the sub above was not a foot long. More like 9 inches.
Next, this giant sub had three slices of turkey. Yes kids, that's right, three thin slices of turkey. Not anything remotely similar to what the commercials on TV depict. This is blatant false advertising at it's finest.
Moving on, the sandwich had two pieces of cheese. Yup, just two pieces of cheese. Cut in half and spread on the bun.
To top it off, the bacon was pieces, but just by eye balling the sandwich, it was not more than two standard slices of bacon.
The cost was $5.00 for this sandwich. Let's take a minute and analyze the ingredients of this sandwich. three slices of turkey. I can buy a pound of turkey at the local Giant Eagle grocery store for $4.99 which consists of approximately 25 slices, or about 20 cents a slice.
The bacon is $1.99 a box, which is 15 slices, or 13 cents a slice.
The cheese is $4.99 per pound which is 20 slices or 25 cents a slice.
The bun is $1.99 for an eight pack of sub buns, which is 25 cents a bun.
Let's add it all together. 60 cents turkey, 26 cents bacon, 50 cents for cheese, and 25 cents for the bun. Grand total $1.61 for the sandwich. Keep in mind that Quizzno's has to have better costs than my retail prices.
The Grassy Knoll Institute is highly disappointed in Quizzno's awarding only 1 shot out of five and does not recommend them for lunch, dinner, or any event of any kind.
