Re: It won't work

By the way, that underscores the brilliance of Subway's marketing campaign. By having all of their sandwiches as merely bread and meat -- and you then add whatever other stuff you want, lettuce, tomato, etc. -- they can legitimately claim that their sandwiches have that little fat. They then list condiments like cheese and mayonnaise separately. Compare that to Panera, which lists mayonnaise as an ingredient in most of their sandwiches and therefore has to list the sandwich's nutrition facts WITH mayonnaise already factored in, and it looks like you're getting a lot more fat than you are at Subway.

Of course, Subway doesn't tell you (maybe they do, but it's in the very fine print) that Jared got his sandwiches without any cheese or mayo... but that's not the way most people order their sandwich.
