40 Subway Facts Sandwich Artists Probably Don’t Want Us To Know

You can’t beat a nice Subway sandwich, right? They’re absolutely delicious. But your opinion of the restaurant and its food may well change after reading these 40 juicy secrets. Should you know about them? Probably not. And yet that hasn’t stopped certain workers from spilling the proverbial beans. So, from shocking claims about the cheese to consumer hacks, here is everything you didn’t know about your favorite fast food chain.

40. The Tuna Situation

Are you a fan of the tuna sandwiches at Subway? Well, you might want to turn away after reading this shocking claim. According to an alleged former employee in the comments section of a BuzzFeed article, the tasty fish arrives at the restaurant in a pre-packaged container. After that, it’s subsequently covered in mayonnaise – actually, drowned is probably a better description!

39. Cold Chicken

The next time you order a chicken sub, keep this in mind. An apparent Subway worker on Reddit claimed that unless the meat’s being stored inside a “hot well” with the meatballs, there’s a good chance it’ll be stone cold. In most cases, it doesn’t get thoroughly defrosted beforehand! So, just make a request for the filling to be placed in the microwave.

38. You Can Create Subway Pizzas

Yep, you’re reading that correctly. An alleged former member of staff dropped this particular bombshell on Reddit. According to them, you need to order a flatbread coated in the sauce that soaks Subway’s meatballs. Then list off your favored toppings ahead of toasting the base. In their mind, the results wouldn’t look out of place at a professional pizzeria!

37. The “Heart Healthy” Sub

To explain this next secret, an ex-Subway worker named Alexandra Deary opened up on BuzzFeed. She wrote, “All of the sandwiches touted as ‘healthy’ options are calculated as Meat, Bread, Lettuce, Tomato, Onion [and] Pickle. So, when you order a ‘heart healthy’ sub, it’s only considered healthy or low fat with that exact combo. If you add [anything else], you’d be better off ordering a Big Mac, calorie wise.”
