Why Subway might be annoying:

    Two words: Jared Fogle!
    Ever since Fogle became the spokesperson for Subway, the company has overly touted their food as healthier than other fast food chains.
    However, getting a healthier meal often involves cutting a few items such as cheese and ranch dressing.
    Several customers have complained that their 'Footlong' sandwiches are actually eleven inches.
    They attempted to trademark the word 'footlong' for several years.
    They have been accused of several unethical business practices towards franchisees.

Why Subway might not be annoying:

    In 2010, it passed McDonald's as the fast food chain with the most locations.
    They bake their breads from scratch.
    Their $5 footloongs have helped to raise corporate profits.
    Many episodes of Chuck feature one of their sandwiches as product placement.
    A Zagat survey named Subway the best provider of 'Healthy Options' (in the 'Mega Chain' category).
    At least the customer gets to see his or her food prepared fresh.
