Stupid Subway commercials

That Jared Fogel guy is annoying enough on his own, but this latest ad campaign is infuriating.

Subway is continuing its practice of comparing their sandwiches to McDonald's on a percent fat basis. They are probably better than a Big mac, but their stupid commercial says

"not including non-lowfat condiments"

They have been pulling that mindfuck on their nutrition information for over a decade. Not that they are worse than other companies, but they are advertising incessantly right now.

And look, their are now more Subway Franchises than McD's in the US (Those Subway/Texaco as stations all across US80 coast-to-coast can't hurt. They did save me driving to Boston, though, i must admit.) And screw their F.R.E.S.H. Steps plan, too ("Feel Responsible Energized Satisfied and Happy!")
