Do you have Firehouse Subs where you are? You will. Someone was raving about it, so I took the plunge and it was Quizno's, but for the shape. Even their proprietary "hot" sauce was the same as Quizno's. Things were shaped differently, but same steaming/toasting or whatever. Plus it was eight bucks for an 8" sub and a drink, which was wild because the sub was about the dimensions of the gripping end of a Louisville slugger (description stolen from Harlan Ellison). It tasted okay, but it was about four bites all told, and didn't even last through the entire Showcase Showdown.
What I really wanted to comment on, though, was the soda from one of those Coke machines that lets you make your own drank via Computer Science. I, of course, went with grape Fanta.
It came sloshing out of the machine and it was black! Or dark grey, maybe. Like the water/baby-food jar after one has been doing a "wash" drawing in 8th grade art. Or the color one thinks of when someone mentions the Baltic. I know that all sodas are infernal and are just Cancer in a Cup, but this was quite alarming!
