Subway vs. Quiznos


When it comes to eating sandwiches, where should you go? Subway and Quiznos seem to be equal in popularity, but which is healthier? Which one do the people like better? And which one is more reasonable to buy? It’s a sandwich war between the top sandwich restaurants and it’s time to find out which one will come out on top.
People today are worried about their weight, so which restaurant is healthier to eat at based on nutrition value? I did some research and found that a Tuna Melt from Quiznos has over 2000 calories and 175 grams of fat, this has the highest amount of calories and fat on their menu. A similar product from Subway, the Tuna sandwich has a total of 890 calories and 44 grams of fat. Quiznos also has 34 items that have over 50 grams of fat. Where as Subway has only 1 item with over 50 grams of fat which is the meatball sub. Jared, also known as the “Subway Guy” lost almost 240 lbs in 10 years and Subway helped. So when it comes to which restaurant is healthier, I think that it’s obvious that subway wins that one.
I went around asking people that have ate from both restaurants which one they like better. I asked a total of 50 people and 40 of them said that they like subway better and only 10 have said that they like Quiznos better. Some reasons I got back from the people who chose Subway were that it was cheaper and that there are more Subway restaurants out there than Quiznos restaurants. The people that chose Quiznos said that it tastes way better than subway and it looks better, but they also said that Quiznos is also ridiculously expensive. So I did some more research and found that the prices between both restaurants are almost similar depending on what you order. So when it comes down to which restaurant the people like better, subway wins. On which one is more reasonable to buy from, I think that they are both equal in that field.
It was a tough battle between the two restaurants, but subway won 2 out of the 3 so it looks like its lights out for Quiznos. Subway is healthier than Quiznos hands down because Subway has way less fat than Quiznos does. According to my survey, 80% of the people said that Subway was better and Jared the “Subway Guy” lost 240 lbs from it too, so subway won that one. The prices for both restaurants are pretty much the same so they came at a tie. The battle was brutal but Subway was just too powerful for Quiznos. Ding! Ding! Ding! Subway wins.

Very interesting comparison and contrast. I never really knew that subway was healthier than quiznos. Although the essay was awesome, I wish there was more things that were compared. Subway does rock.

Yes, Subway wins! I always liked Subway better. I went to Quiznos once and their sandwich was so greasy. I forgot what it was called but it definitely was fattier than a Subway sandwich.

I also liked how you presented your comparison contrast. It was so cool! ^^
