So Subway the corporation collects $15/pass ($3.75m given they intend to sell 250k) and then the individual franchises take on all of the costs of the promo?

If it’s fine to eat on toast I’m sure it’s fine to burn.

Gonna give this a go. There’s one near my house, and one near work, whichever is most convenient. Whenever I do get a footlong, I always split it into two meals. I can easily get a meal out of a half off footlong, making lunch and dinner pretty cheap. Plus with their options, I can change things up. We’ll see how much…

I have a good friend that swore by Subway, eating there almost every day that he was on his route for FedEx. Other than that, his tastes are quite reasonable.

Sweet Jesus that’s terrifying.

As someone who does bike track days, this is horrifying. If this happened in a novice track day group, someone would have been dead.

I would assume that anyone actively turning off their seatbelt warning would also prefer that the object be gun shaped (along with most other accessories in their life). They are also likely to desire a bottle opener in their car. It really is a complete product for that well-regulated militia driving around. 

Exactly this. 20 years ago I worked right next door to a Subway, made sense to save gas and just walk to lunch, typically ate there almost every day. But the rare occasions I go to Subway now are at the insistence of the kids, and they’re now far more interested in the local sandwich shops.

You nailed it in your last paragraph. Really, it makes sense to do this if you already habitually order Subway footlongs, if not, you’ll likely buy the pass and forget to use it (speaking from grim experience thinking I’ll change my routines...)

Yeah but i bet you could add a little Dijon to help things stick together a little better

Did you hear about the homeopath who forgot to take their ‘medicine’?

I planted Greek oregano a couple of years ago, and I dry some every year. It already has a lemony edge to it, so I bet that would work great with this recipe. I guess the grated garlic is the emulsifier for this dressing?

you know what they call an alternative medicine that works?..... medicine.

“homeopathy is only a few hundred years old, but so is modern medicine.”

“that means resonance and energy waves.” i.e. magic.

This is among the best and most informative writing I’ve seen on Lifehacker or any similar outlet, bar none. Thank you.

The fact it isn’t “the worst thing” does not disqualify cautionary discussion. Elsewhere you’ll find gold-plated HDMI 1.4 cables for $100. Should I refrain from warning someone against buying those scam cables because smoking causes cancer?

So you’re OK with private companies offering sugar pills to treat whatever they want to say they can treat? Because, to be clear, this is what you are saying.

“Yet i see people get better, and levels beyond placebo.”
