Do not ever order Subways "low-carb" wrap again. I wanted a wrap rather than bread, but what I got was something more like cardboardy-paper. Ick.

Best quote I've heard all day (re: Janet Jackson's super bowl flash)

"It was pierced with like a rod. Like a dowel rod."

Um, yeah. I'm sure that's what it was.

it's the commercialization of trends that i detest. "low carb" this and "fat free" that. if more people simply UNDERSTOOD what they put into their bodies, then there wouldn't be the incessant need for recitation of these friggin' terms! ack. but you know what i mean, pixiecrinkle...

...like the guy in front of us at chipotle last week who said, to the foodmakers, that he was ordering a "low carb" burrito ... but doubled up on the beans. tsk, tsk, tsk. has ANYONE taken a nutrition class ... EVER? perhaps he meant to say that he was "doubling up on the protein" -- whatever, get it right. idiot.

but it's no worse than twizzlers being marketed as a "fat free" food -- NO SHIT, it's SUGAR! rant, rant, rant.

heh heh. dowel rod. ;->

Yeah...see that's the thing. I thought "low carb" simply meant "lower carbs than bread" not "we made a new special low-carb tortilla that tastes like crap." I guess the "Atkins approved" sticker should have warned me.

I wasn't even trying to be low carb. I just didn't feel like a huge sandwich, and Subway had the shortest line, and I was in a hurry! Poor, pitiful me....

i know you know the deal! :-) it just sucks that folks have to actually utter the phrase "low carb" sandwich instead of saying "i'd like a wrap, please" just so the other folk can be wooed by mass marketing at america. and just to have a yummy tortilla.

i dig it. tortilla sandwiches are like thin-crust pizza -- more taste of the good stuff, and less "filler."

whatever dude, you are TOTALLY an atkins asshole! :o

dowel rod!? thats good. so i guess someone actually saw it then. everyone where i was today merely speculated about what happened.
