This number is surprising ! I would never think that Subwayhas more restaurants then McDonalds.
Stinky par-baked bread, the cheapest quality meats and cheeses known to man, less than fresh toppings, and less than sanitary conditions. That,in my opinion, is your typical Subway. Yet the masses still flock there. lol
Mmmm! I love Subway sandwiches!! So glad to hear that we have more Subway restaurants then mMickeyDs.
