Stop in for a Subway foot-long tuNOT sandwich.
Yes, they are still sold. I see them in drugstores such as Walgreens and large regional grocery store pharmacy/health aisles such as Hy Vee.
ETA: I was mistaken. It is Luden’s brand wild cherry cough drops I was remembering seeing.
Tu or tunot, there is no fish.
So long, thanks.
First we have to know whether or not the civet cat handlers are unionized.
I used to buy Pine Bros Cough drops for candy. They were chewy.
Not unlike anything passed through a civet cat.
Hmm… we could run a giant magnet over them i guess.
I imagine the answer is more pedantic and based on technical, rather than plain meaning arguments. I suspect what they mean is that the product called “Tuna fish” is comprised of tuna, mayo, celery, and seasonings, etc. When individual ingredients are weighed (or possibly measured), the combined weight (or volume) of mayo + celery + seasonings is greater than that of tuna. The amount of non-tuna ingredients is more than 50% of the composition of “tuna fish” and therefore the advertising is “misleading.” The outcome will be Subway changing the term to “Tuna fish salad” or “tuna fish spread” to avoid further legal nonsense.
Is this a thing? Are the kids slapping the ham on a roll in Subway really called “artists?”
As above though, the lawyers are claiming that there is no tuna, and in fact no fish at all in the spread. The complaint is not a nitpick about tuna not being more than 50% of the spread.
My daughter worked at a Subway for a month during high-school. She was indeed a “sandwich artist”. The owner was a nut. She had cameras watching everything the artists did. One kid put too many black olives on a sandwich and the owner had a fit on him (the black olives were expensive, and they were supposed to count how many they put on). The kid cried and my daughter came to his defense, turning in her apron.
Just wash it down with a cup of kopi luwak coffee, and you’re all set!
While I would buy the technical argument, the gross binary argument seems spurious and easily tested.
Yeah, sounds like it’s a strategy to just put out there in the public sphere that there was a suit and there was a claim.
I have had kope luwak. I brewed it in a stovetop glass vacuum brewer, which made the finest brews of any coffee. It was rather meh.
Ah yes, the black olives dilemma. When I worked at Subway back in the day, you were only supposed to put three measly olives on a six inch sub. Olive loving customers would recognize this as miserably tight-fisted, and insist on more. You were really between an olive pit and a hard place if your boss was watching.
I had a boss who would check the garbage for thrown away food, and come down on us for that. The thing is, customers would come in and order, say, a cold cut combo with no bologna. The boss insisted that we should just tell the customer there were no changes allowed, but you try to tell the Karens of the world that you can’t pull the bologna off the pre-made meat packet when you make their sandwich. I usually just choked down the bolongna myself as quickly as I could to get rid of it.
Bologna still puts me off.
I saw this posted this morning (photo of Subway tuna pouch):
It could have been worse. I could have been the crappiest coffee you’ve ever had.
