The in word of the moment -- thanks to the movie I Love You Man -- is "bromance": two straight men who are so close, they share almost everything. "Almost" being the key word. I'll leave you to decide whether the relationship between Quizno's worker Scott and the sandwich oven is a bromance or something more.
With lines like "put it in me, Scott" and the name "torpedo sub," I'm leaning toward Scott and the sandwich oven getting it on. At the beginning, when Hal 9000 the sandwich oven says "Scott, I want you to do something," Scott looks down at his groin region and says he's "not doing that again. That burned." You don't need a dirty mind to figure that one out.
Which brings up an even more unsettling thought:
Why is Quizno's running commercials that imply its staff has sex with
the equipment? If I owned a restaurant and ever caught an employee in
coitus with anything in the kitchen, I'd fire him, not blab it to my
customers.
But when your sandwiches only cost four dollars, you
can get away with lots of things. Scott should turn his eye toward the
Showing 1-6 of 6
I assumed as much Rick. Even in the commercial where they're always beefing up the size of the food, the sandwich still looks teeny-tiny.
Do not waste your money on this sad pathetic excuse for a sandwich.
The guy behind the counter pulled out
a 13 inch Olive Garden breadstick
and I almost laughed out loud.
I thought 'what is he going to do? cut that thing in half and put food in it?!'
I had a coupon for buy one toasty torpedo combo and get a toasty torpedo for free.
One of these sandwiches MIGHT equal
half of a Subway sandwich if there was
room for more meat and toppings but there
just isn't.
Whoever thought of this and approved of it
at Quizno's should be jailed and fined $40,000 each. They are ripping people off
in a huge way with a really small sandwich for 4 dollars. Go to Subway,pay the dollar extra and get 2 meals.
What is the cut-off point though. I think $4 is too high. Probably around $2. At that price, they could actually show employees having sex with the equipment and people would be like, "it's gross but it's only $2."
I think Quizno's is just submitting to the widely held notion that their employees DO have sex with the equipment, meat and olives. I mean, have you seen those ovens? They're dead sexy.
