New! From Quiznos! (not actually new)

March 19th, 2009 | 6 Comments

I mean, I enjoy Quiznos subs and all, despite the fact that they make it …difficult to find their nutrition information (in that, there is no comprehensive list of their data anywhere except via 3rd party sites) and their commercials have been historically ssstupid, but their newest venture has the one-two punch of being pretty lame and sounding super lame.

Duuuumb

Duuuumb

Yup, you too can be one of the first to try a Toasty…. Torpedo. Torpedo. Coz like, a sub is too big, you know? And torpedoes are weapons shot out of subs, right? So this is like the weaponized version of a sandwich that got shot out of a larger mother sandwich. AWESOME.

Soak it in folks, this is the future of food. Slim, sleek bread (smaller size) and over a foot long (with less meat)! For only $4 – which by my count is a full dollar less than those jokers over at Subway who keep trying that $5 footlong gimmick – I mean, what a fad, am I right? Truly new and innovative – and ciabatta bread is soooooo fancy! I hear they even had it at Wendy’s at some point!

TORPEDO.

UPDATE!!! (2009-04-08) – Due to something of a “Search Engine Demand,” I have decided to put together the nutrition information for all of Quizno’s Toasty Torpedos and assemble it into a handy .pdf format – enjoy!!

(I would recommend avoiding the Big Kahuna Tuna sandwich)

    First of all, I’d like to state that they’re VERY good and one fills me up perfectly. I’m not left with food I paid for and can’t eat! Also, the nutritional information is available for every one of our menu items on QUIZNOS.COM you just click MENU and under the name of each sub, there is nutritional information. So, the third-party comment isn’t true. Just thought I’d clear that up as well.

    And why does it matter what it is called? The important part is its affordable, delicious, and filling!

      ……………….right.

      I suppose I would reiterate the fact that I said there is not a list of nutrition information on the Quiznos website, having to click through every individual item on the menu to get to the information is inconvenient at best. Once Quiznos decides to take ten minutes to publish a .pdf with a comprehensive list of the info, I’ll rescind my comment.

    If you ever want to hear a reader’s feedback :) , I rate this article for four from five. Detailed info, but I just have to go to that damn yahoo to find the missed bits. Thank you, anyway!

    The style of writing is very familiar . Did you write guest posts for other bloggers?

    Have you noticed how small the hand in that ad is? It’s almost creepy. Once you see it, you can’t not see it.

    I found your blog post while Googling Quiznos ads for my own blog post: http://wp.me/pwqzc-18

    I referenced this blog, & linked here. Hope that’s cool?

      Yes the poor photoshop skills involved in making this online coupon didn’t exactly wow me – I guess I should have made note of it!

      Good work on the extensive letter to Quiznos. I’d honestly be curious as to how they respond to the 2 girls 1 sub comment.
