  • jackmaht, on 09/01/2008, -0/+157See, these look good but my luck would be me ordering these and the lady at the counter just staring at me like "wtf are you talking about?" and I would feel like a *****.
  • UncleCrapper, on 09/01/2008, -3/+112The "pizza sub" is on the menu in Subways here in Canada. Even if it wasn't, SUBWAY MAKES YOUR SUB TO ORDER. So I don't see why this is a such a big ***** deal. And I know a few people that ask for the "old school" cut of their sub bun. The way Subway used to cut your bun until a few years ago.

    Likewise for the rest of the "secret" menu items on this list. It's just a matter of asking the staff to make your shake, burger or fries to order. Of course, the quality of service these days is so abysmally low that any deviation from the standard menu is likely to result in a blank stare from the person behind the counter. So, good luck with that.
  • jlpete9, on 09/01/2008, -2/+64I LOVE In&Out, but 100x100??

  • WhoDoneIt, on 09/01/2008, -0/+54We have a young kid that works at our local Subway and every time we go in and he's working he's having the time of his life. Not only is he happy, but he is funny and clever. Not sure his manager would appreciate it like we do, but I think it's hilarious.

    The last time I went in he was working. I was standing in line waiting to place my order and I looked over at one of the customers already eating and something caught my eye. His sub was frickin' HUGE. I jabbed my wife and asked her if it was just me seeing things. Went up to the counter and his sly smile came across his face. He said "Can I interest you in our "Noah's Arc Sub, you look like you are hungry!"

    I asked him what that was and he pointed at that guys sub. He said we take 2 sub buns, open them up. One for the top and one for the bottom and then we give you 2X of every kind of meat. If you can eat it all, you get it for free. If you can't, that will be $25. What a meatball. I laughed and passed but asked him if this was a new Subway menu item. He gave me that sly grin and said of course not. We just get bored here and like to see people try to eat a free sub and puke while they are at it.

    He then said "Wait until I go on my break... I'm having the 50 slices of bacon sub"
  • bullsfan03, on 09/01/2008, -3/+53Great story, tell it at parties you'll totally get the chicks.
  • Surferess, on 09/01/2008, -2/+51I think I gained 10 pounds just reading that!
  • thegrimreaper3, on 09/01/2008, -2/+47I've worked at McDonalds and it was fun to make food concoctions. Best thing by far is the poor-mans-bigmac. You order a double cheeseburger with “mac-sauce” (Free) and lettuce (Free) and you can ask for diced onions if you like (Free also!) . The ONLY difference between the 3$ sandwich and this $1 sandwich is the sesame seed bun!
  • AsSubtleAsABrik, on 09/01/2008, -2/+33Taco bell does this all the time. They never really "get rid" of any special items, they just stop promoting them. Kind of makes me angry when people are like "The Cheesey Gordita Crunch is back!" It never goes anywhere, I get them all the time, they just aren't listed on the menu.
  • lintmonkey, on 09/01/2008, -1/+30* pillow's
  • ceredron, on 09/01/2008, -7/+36YES. ME AND FOUR FRIENDS ATE ONE OF THOSE ONCE, AND STACY ONLY ATE LIKE FOUR PATTIES. I ATE FIFTEEN AND MY HEART FELT LIKE RUPTURING. BRAD ATE 30.

    HE ATE ***** 30. HE ALSO FELT "LIKE DYING" FOR THE NEXT EIGHT DAYS. ***** PUSSY.
  • neio, on 09/01/2008, -6/+32I once asked for a plain Big Mac, just cheese, bun and meat, took them 30 min to make it.
  • maexus, on 09/01/2008, -0/+25@Cheeseburgers - I wish I could digg you up not only for the humor in your comment but your appropriate screen name.
  • inactive, on 09/01/2008, -0/+24You need to learn the basics of being an alcoholic, and one big one is don't take tylenol when you're hungover. It exasperates the damage done to your liver the night before, and is even worse if you still have alcohol in you. If you're going to continue taking tylonel when hungover, then you can look forward to early liver cirrhosis! I'd rather take fast food... and a morning shot of whisky with it, and if I really need it, and can stomach it, some advil.
  • Halokhan, on 09/01/2008, -2/+25You have to pay extra for burnt? ***** that *****, just key it in as well-done and leave it in for a little longer. Its not rocket science.
  • Ktzero3, on 09/01/2008, -2/+24Actually, In n Out doesn't do anything past 4x4 anymore because if the burgers get beyond that then they start looking unappetizing (see photo in link).
  • inactive, on 09/01/2008, -0/+21Your taste buds hate freedom and liberty.
  • hotpuck6, on 09/01/2008, -0/+18i'm pretty sure that was on the menu at one point.
  • xDynaBlade, on 09/01/2008, -2/+19They don't have the rodeo burger from Burger King! It's a cheeseburger with BBQ sauce and onion rings in it. It's delicious, try it.
  • rickyroca, on 09/01/2008, -1/+18The quesadilla at Chipotle. Chicken or Steak. Not on the menu, You can get a small or a large. Only $3.50 in my area.
  • namelessXsilent, on 09/01/2008, -0/+16the starbucks shot of espresso is not special. its $.50 for a shot in anything
  • ericthegreat, on 09/01/2008, -1/+17I used to make myself mixed shakes when working at McDonalds all the time. The mint and chocolate mix was great. Don't expect many stores to actually do it though as management gets their bloomers in a bunch over manually starting and stopping the expensive shake machines that are meant for automatic filling of cups.

    Also most employees aren't bright enough to realize that if you want a Big Mac made with quarter pounder meat to just charge for a double quarter pounder and have the grill make it the way the customer asked. We used to call these Super Mac's and they were awesome! A coworker actually attempted to make a double Super Mac with 4 quarter pounder patties. Let's just say he didn't finish it all and felt rather ill for the rest of his shift.
  • rittz, on 09/01/2008, -1/+17Disgusting.
  • Exhessive, on 09/01/2008, -0/+16I've been turned away when trying to order a Cheesy Gordita Crunch "out of season." It's all back there...just assemble it!
  • Halokhan, on 09/01/2008, -0/+16http://whatupwilly.blogspot.com/2006/01/in-n-out-1 ...

    Mmmm looks so delicious >_
  • mgyqmb, on 09/01/2008, -4/+19Are you joking? 'Subway' and 'Sonic' are subjects and do not take the possessive unless we're specifically referring to something that they own. For example - "I would like to order from Sonic's menu".

    When you say "I would like to go to Sonic's", you are saying it incorrectly, because the name of the restaurant is 'Sonic'. In the same manner that you wouldn't say "I would like to go to San Francisco's" when you're talking about the city.

    My argument originally wasn't referring to the possession by adding an apostrophe - it was only expressing my frustration at people adding an 's' on to the name of well-established brands. Not only did you miss that point, but you completely botched your insult to boot.
  • getoffmybridge, on 05/05/2009, -0/+15Yeah no *****, or worst case don't put it in the computer and just.....remember what they asked for.
  • bunnyandzombie, on 09/01/2008, -5/+20Fast food is great when you're hungover.
  • jschneible, on 09/01/2008, -0/+15I once saw a Subway employee get confused when she was asked for a BLT. I can't imagine how they would react if they were asked for something off the menu.
  • getoffmybridge, on 05/05/2009, -0/+14Impossible, knowledge is a calorie-free food.
  • xDynaBlade, on 09/01/2008, -6/+20The blank stare comes from the fact that if you try and ask them to do something that isn't an option in the computer system, there's no way to put it in. I worked at Papa Gino's and one lady asked me to make her pizza burnt to a crisp and I didn't know what to do because for the cooking options, there's lightly cooked and well-done. Not burnt.
  • fuzzynyanko, on 09/01/2008, -2/+15Sadly enough, that Big Mac with the quarter pounder patties would sell. Even sadder, I want to try one of those.
  • Metricula, on 09/01/2008, -4/+16I'm gonna echo the guy above who HATES it when people order off the menu. I don't do it to other people.

    I work at an indie coffee shop, and I also hate it when people make up their own names for drinks we sell. Some guy comes in and orders a strawberry french soda but always calls it a "rawberry." Then, when the new trainees don't know what the hell he's talking about he looks at us like we haven't trained them right and then he explains it's a strawberry french soda. We all call it a strawberry french soda before, during, and after we make it--and he hears us do this--because that's what the drink is.

    Coffee shops are built on having a lot of customization, but some people just go overboard--light ice large half mocha, half sugar-free caramel, half skinny, two-thirds decaf latte all the way. I'm not kidding. This is a real drink. It's not hard to make it, it's just the general pretentiousness.

    Some people actually order lattes at specific temperatures--one woman comes in and wants it at 175 F.
  • Gyga, on 09/01/2008, -0/+12Just tell her you have to have the temperature in celsius. When she figures that out the next day say you need it in kelvin. Hopefully she isn't able to do conversions in her head. Adventually ask her from temperature in picometers of Hg.
  • albel65, on 09/01/2008, -1/+13Ah, but you see; America deep-fries their knowledge.
  • novemberdream07, on 09/01/2008, -1/+13i've worked at starbucks for three years and here is some secret starbucks stuff blended strawberry lemonade , the strawberries that goes in the strawberries and cream blended with lemonade in like a slushie. it's never ever been on the menu. also if you add toffee nut syrup to a strawberries and scream frappuccino its tastes like crunchberries. add caramel and hazelnut syrup to a white mocha and you get something that tastes just like baileys. white hot chocolates are also tasty. add raspberry and melon to a passion tea lemonade to make it taste like kool aid.
  • Spyder810, on 09/01/2008, -6/+18It's showing possession of something. You do not say Mike car you say Mike's car. Go back to school and learn English.
  • vuke69, on 09/01/2008, -0/+12Listen to Scriabin, he knows what he's talking about.
  • sentinel106, on 09/01/2008, -0/+10dayum Brad is a badass I'll give you that. Peter (Griffin) ate 30 McBurgerTown burgers and had a stroke.


  • Styvo, on 09/01/2008, -0/+9...someone is eating it man, don't be angry.
  • fucter, on 09/01/2008, -4/+13they forgot the mcSurfAndTurf
    a big mac with a fish cake on it (from the filet o'fish)
  • WhoDoneIt, on 09/01/2008, -0/+9As soon as I saw the "Pizza Sub" option there I stopped reading. I thought that maybe my last brain cell had finally kicked it in but now I'm starting to realize that American's don't have that option under the regular menu.

    I've always grown up having pizza subs. Yum!
  • novemberdream07, on 09/01/2008, -0/+9originally the grande was the largest size offered by starbucks and short was the smallest, then americans wanted something larger than the grande so the venti was made. when they came out with the venti they removed the short from the menu thinking it was unnecessary, people complained etc. so to quell these people and not over complicate things now short is available just not on the menu. incidentally you can order anything except cold drinks in short.
  • joecolly, on 09/01/2008, -3/+12This just made me really hungry..
  • NotACYBORG, on 09/01/2008, -2/+11Pizza sub used to be on the Subway menu back in the early 90's. Was probably removed to promote more of the healthy sandwiches.
  • KidVicious, on 09/01/2008, -1/+10From the description: "How 'bout a pizza sub at Subway's?" I think that's what he's talking about, and it isn't showing possession. He shouldn't be dugg down.
  • orlandorays, on 09/01/2008, -3/+11Alright, mom.
  • norbiu, on 09/01/2008, -0/+8"I'm a no-nonsense woman. I take what's mine, and I expect what's coming to me."

    That would explain the missing tooth.
  • tony23, on 09/01/2008, -0/+8Damn, fries that taste like potatoes. That's crap.
  • colonels1020, on 09/01/2008, -0/+7http://photos1.blogger.com/img/113/2202/1024/Hallo ...
