Get your plastic knifes ready.
Sandwich chains Subway and Quiznos continue to fight to the death to see which "deli" can produce the best and cheapest sandwich.
First Subway came out with the campaign for the $5 Footlong, which they originally warned was only for a limited time. However, when the market tanked and people were pinching pennies Subway saved our lunch breaks with the cheap and filling sandwich. Finding a good lunch in NYC under $10 is almost impossible, and with a deal like theirs, Subway has probably tripled their profits. I'm not so sure this is only for a limited time.
Subway: 1. Quiznos: 0.
So what was Quiznos' answer to the popular $5 Footlong? Not to be outdone by the competition, Quiznos created the $4 Torpedo.
The name of the sandwich sounds like a pool toy I played with when I was 10, but I joined Colin and Nate today to see what they thought of the new Torpedos.
Upon first observation, the Torpedos were much smaller than the Footlong and the bread was not as soft. The sandwiches were not as full of veggies and other add-ons, but the guys seemed to be somewhat satisfied. They reminded us of the skinny sandwiches you find in the European cafes - but they just don't taste as good when you're not sitting in a quaint spot overlooking the Eiffel Tower.
Will the Torpedo live up to the Footlong? Spend $4 and decide for yourself.
