Sandwich Showdown--Domino's Vs. Subway
Over the past couple weeks Domino's has been touting their 2-to-1 margin win over Subway in a national taste test. Why wasn't I part of this test? Heck, nobody I know was part of this test. And nobody they know was part of this test. How can a "national" taste test can occur and nobody knows about it until it's over? Next time, Domino's, call me.
Back to my point. Why is this taste test a big deal? Beating Subway in a taste test is like beating Paris Hilton at chess. Yeah, she can physically play chess and she might even know the rules, but she's so busy texting, checking her makeup, and ordering her seventh cranberry vodka that she isn't really aware a game is going on. Likewise, Domino's is too busy making inconsistently mediocre pizza to make a great sandwich. Sure their sandwiches might have a taste edge over Subway but I could go into my kitchen right now and make a sandwich that tastes better than anything Subway has. I'm not saying Subway sandwiches necessarily taste bad. They taste fine. I like them on occasion. But taste itself isn't the only thing Subway is focused on. They consider, among other things, taste, price, and nutrition.
Here's breakdown of the nutrition side of the game. As you can see, you can get comparable Subway sandwiches with double meat and they're still far healthier than Domino's sandwiches. This breakdown is brought to you by the "Subway, Please Sponsor Me" foundation.
In conclusion, Paris Hilton and Domino's need to stop multitasking.

Quizno's. Oh, not an option? Dominos. And the pizza? try "deep-fried"!

our sandwiches are quite kick ass when made properly. and they are completely customizable. ( I am sorry if the person above doesnt have smart people at their dominos who know this ) ( or that someone loaded their philly down with butter for our friend Tom ) They are more on the level of a quiznos or jimmy johns sandwich. But we deliver... and last week sold over a couple million of the damn things. customer response keeps growing and growing. (and they should be packed with toppings... so complain if someone is skimping at your local store.) all fresh toppings, great foccacia bread, and they are 8", not 6" so that kinda changes the nutrition comparison. subway is fine, we dont hate them, we are just competing. Just like they did when they started selling pizza last year. as did a bunch of sandwich chains. we are expanding our menu as well. :)

Is Paris Hilton Domino's or Subway in the analogy?

I work for dominoes. The sandwich is 8 inches not six. The other chain that they compare themselves to is to me a joke. Subway is good and dominoes is good. Its all just personal prefrence. Dominoes to me is just a little pricer than subway but anything made and cooked then drove over to your house for 2 bucks is gonna be a little pricey. Oh yea to all of you people out there that think the tips included its not, I just like driving to your house for less than min wage and a dollar for gas of your 2 dollar charge. but to all of you that tip thank you its greatly appreciated.

Personally, I am not the biggest fan of either one of their sandwiches but here's the thing-
When I am hungry (and I get real irritable and I am hypo-hypoglycemic) I don;t really feel like dealing with Subway's interrogation just to get a damn meal.
I've tried getting a sandwich- anything on the board (chicken bacon ranch for example) and it pisses me off when I ask for that sandwich that the morons there don't know what goes on it.
I've tested this theory at a few Subways.
Chicken Bacon Ranch... You have a default sandwich, why the F&$! do I have to spend 10 minutes explaining whatever I can make out from the advertised sandwich to the idiot behind the counter, just make the f-ing sandwich!!! I shouldn't have to tell them I want Chicken or bacon or ranch on it- especially if that's the damn name of the menu item!!
Out of the 5 times I can remember walking into a Subway, 4 of those times I walked out empty handed and went elsewhere out of pure aggravation.
Subway- may you burn in hell!

For all those who commented that Subway is no healthier than Dominoes, maybe you should stop getting the freaken meatball sub. Majority of the subs at Subway have good nutrition. Dominoes on the other hand are just completely non comparable health wise. Your comparing something that makes you fatter and clogs arteries, to something that has a great amount of nutritional value and helps to regulate your weight accordingly. "Don't Be Ignorant"
On another subject, just because a national taste test says Dominoes won 2to1, that means absolutely nothing. It all depends on how many people the tested overall. Even then its still not a logical campaign. For example: If they tested one person from each of the 50 states and Dominoes won 30 to 20, that's still not enough people to truly prove a point. Its just like the Burger King "Whopper Virgins" commercial. Just because the Whopper Virgins like it, that doesn't change my opinion in any way.
This whole discussion is stupid anyway."GOOD JOB DOMINOES FOR STARTING THE MOST POINTLESS ARGUMENT IN US HISTORY"

dominos has good protein but there is no comparison between dominos and subway. Dominos is low quality fast food, similar to mcdonalds, subway is fresh ingredients like you would find in a supermarket and everything is made right in front of you.
