A diet doesn’t have to necessarily be healthy to result in weight loss, either. ---

> [@Captain\_Carrot](#): > > Also, am I the only person in the world who likes the taste of Subway sandwiches? Well, their vegetables and their sauces aren’t that bad (as chain fast-food goes) but their bread is tasteless and rubbery, their “cheese” is the very worst sort of processed dreck, and their meats… oh, their meats… where to start? Really, really, bad stuff. It was bad when Sinclair first wrote about it in _“The Jungle”_, and it’s bad now. ---

You aren’t going to find the best pizza at a chain restaurant. Or sandwich for that matter. ---

If anyone on the planet cut their caloric intake by 80% of course they would lose weight no matter what they were eating! It wasn’t the magic of subway that made him lose weight, it was the magic of portion control. Aside: I saw a report about some doctor’s magic cookies that are part of a weight loss plan this woman used to go from 240 to 119. Diet before: Latte and some sweet treat in the morning, loaded tacos and curly fries for lunch and some big fatty dinner. Now? His cookies, lean meat like chicken, vegetables, fruit. He would assert that the protein in the cookies curbs hunger, and allows her to switch to more healthful options, but I don’t know. It seems they just give her a plan that is made up of more healthful options. Six cookies a day at $4.20 for three = one replaced meal, 90 calories each, plus a “reasonable dinner”. And you must take a multivitamin, so the cookies don’t contain the nutrients you need.

> [@Lute Skywatcher](#): > > Would that have happened if the customer was a plumber named Mario or Luigi? They were discussing this briefly on the radio today. I’m sure they didn’t understand the incident at all since they were making comments like the customer was at fault. Asking for your money back in a calm manner and getting pistol whipped for it and accused of starting an assault isn’t a normal practice in any place I visit. > [@](#): > > They claimed all surveillance in the business had been turned off for the night. > > Deputies later learned the surveillance system was on and viewed the silent footage. > > What they saw on the tape was Capie and Phinney “standing calmly at the counter” with Milano on the other side speaking with “animated body language,” the report states. > > Then Milano suddenly hit Phinney in the head with a gun he’d pulled from behind the counter, the report states. The gun fell as Milano jumped over the counter and began assaulting both Capie and Phinney, the report said. ---

I like Domino’s pizza, but their “sandwiches” look to me like pizza dough in the form of bread with pizza toppings as the sandwich filler. I’d rather just get a pizza. So yeah, I wish they’d just STFU about the sandwiches already. ---

I still am boycotting Dominoes over 10 years after being told, with a serious face, that it was cheaper to buy 2 Dominoes pizzas at regular price than to buy one and get one free. You see, the buy 1 get 1 free is at the xxxx price which is over twice as expensive as the regular price (and the price on the menu above his head)… I hate that shit…and I don’t even believe that he was telling the truth and most likely was pulling it out of his ass…kind of like the Sbarro place that wouldn’t take a coupon because they really weren’t a Sbarro’s (I still enjoy standing outside the Mall kiosk where the manager that told me this is working and saying “I really could go for a Sbarro’s pizza right now…too bad there isn’t one around” :D} Plus their pizza really sucks. Since Little Caesars went out of business they have the worst pizza of all chains. ---

> [@BlinkingDuck](#): > > Since Little Caesars went out of business they have the worst pizza of all chains. Isn’t Little Caesars still around? I swear I saw one a month or two ago. edit: According to Wikipedia, they’re the 4th largest chain in the US, and claim to be the largest carry-out chain in the world. So they still seem to be alive and kicking. ---
