said let's see what this famous brand is
all about in our 15 things you didn't
know about Subway number one their
best-selling sub is still the BM T if
you're wondering what BM T stands for
you'll be pleased to find out that
subway actually
one of their subs after a metro station
in New York City
the sandwich originally stood for
Brooklyn Manhattan transit station but
now stands for bigger meteor tastier and
is a well-known bestseller at Subway
nowadays the famous sub has an Italian
twist to it both in the ingredients and
the name but it's as tasty as it was
back in the day this all-time classic
sub is filled with Genoa salami spicy
pepperoni and black forest ham you can
get it made with your favorite veggies
on freshly baked bread if you feel like
and don't forget about the dressing
number 2 their bread now has less salt
and includes gluten-free options with
fitness and wellness industries growing
so much over the years
restaurants and producers have to keep
up with the trends and adapt their
products constantly to fit every
customer and dietary restriction lately
the gluten-free diets are trending all
over the internet and people swear by
them since the request for gluten-free
bread and pastry is so high
subway included special bread for those
who are gluten intolerant or simply
prefer that kind of bread along with
more variety they also cut down on the
salt in the bread by 24% making it even
healthier we're waiting for the organic
eco bio and dairy-free options to number
three every subway restaurant is
different and runs differently being a
franchise system means that you can open
your own Subway restaurant but you have
to pay a specific percentage of your
profits every month to Subway and follow
some strict rules this system allows
every restaurant to have the same
standards same taste and design in a
word the same brand and quality but that
applies only to the products and the
design the leadership style and
provenance of some ingredients can be
quite different every turkey sub may
have six pieces of meat but the manager
and his leadership skills are not the
same in every location some employers
get free drinks and subs but some don't
so next time you go to a subway don't
judge the employees they're being
treated differently in every location
number four on November 3rd national
sandwich day you get a free sub at
Subway
every year on November 3rd people
celebrate national sandwich day we eat
sandwiches almost every day so it's only
appropriate to celebrate it with eating
a sandwich
well subway jumped on this bandwagon and
decided to make the most of it if you go
to a Subway restaurant and order a
sandwich and a drink on November 3rd
you'll get a free sub cool right this
campaign goes on every year and the
profits go to hunger relief organization
feeding America for fighting world
hunger they managed to make 11 meals for
just one dollar so it's worth supporting
this cause once a year at least
so maybe watch out for November 3rd
offers at your nearest subway number 5
the chain is worth 7.1 billion dollars
found that over fifty years ago subway
is now one of the most valuable brands
on the market having thousands of
restaurants in 112 countries makes the
restaurant chain a successful story to
follow from their humble beginnings and
their PR scandals we've witnessed a
fascinating growth of the brand nowadays
the company sells their unique subs for
only a few dollars and makes 17 billion
dollars in sales every year their net
worth is over 7 billion dollars and they
own more than 60% of the whole sandwich
market in the US only most of us grew up
with subway no competition can take that
away number 6
they're famous spokesman Jared Fogle was
charged for child molestation and abuse
Jared Fogle seemed like the perfect guy
that provided Subway with the perfect
positioning on the market he started his
weight-loss journey with a subway diet
and lost 200 pounds at that time in 1999
he was just a fat guy that lost a ton of
weight but managers at Subway saw the
real potential
they made Jared the official spokesman
for Subway and he began preaching his
story on how Subway subs are healthy he
was a star for almost ten years going on
TV shows shootings and events when
police began questioning him about child
pornography and abuse they had found
explicit photos and videos being traded
by him and later convicted him
sentencing him to 12 years in prison as
well as 1.4 million dollars in
restitution $100,000 to each victim
number 7
an employer was caught mixing bacon with
cheese that was going on all subs
including vegan ones at a subway in
London a client caught on camera an
employer mixing bacon with cheese
nothing wrong here right well apparently
that mix of cheese with bacon is the
same one that will be going on all vegan
subs as well making the subs not vegan
at all the scandal goes even further
when the client tried to photograph the
employer while picking out the bacon
from the cheese mix he warned him that
he's not allowed to take photos the
whole video was uploaded on Twitter and
if you watch it you can hear the whole
fight between the subway employer and
the client on the same post the customer
warned that Muslim people would have to
avoid the chain if they don't want to
eat pork meat without knowing it
number 8 they're closing over 500
restaurants in the US this news actually
came out pretty recently that the
fast-food restaurant chain is closing
over 500 restaurants all over the US but
opening 1,000 worldwide so it's not
necessarily bad news entirely this move
is part of a bigger plan in which they
want to open more countries and regions
like Mexico the United Kingdom China or
India and close down ones that are not
that profitable in the u.s. even though
their competitors like Panera or
Chipotle have started to gain some
serious popularity subway is still the
leading brand in the sandwich industry
and closing a few restaurants is not an
early sign of problems or bankruptcy in
fact they're planning to open a concept
store and polish up a few old ones
number 9 they sued the CBC over a report
on their chicken subs fast-food
restaurants have always battled with
people stating that their products and
ingredients were not what they seemed
from meat controversies or vegan cheese
there was always a scandal surrounding
them in this case subway was
investigated by CBC News regarding their
chicken meat they did a report in which
a sample of the meat was tested to see
where it comes from
they did a DNA test and found out that
the oven-roasted chicken had 53.6%
chicken and the chicken strips had 42.8%
poultry following those allegations
subway sued CBC for 210 million dollars
and false claims however CBC is standing
with their report and subway with theirs
so the truth must be somewhere in
between number 10 you need around
$100,000 to open a subway restaurant if
you're a big fan of the sandwiches
subway serves every day keep in mind
that you could be a part of the business
and open up location through their
franchise system you're going to have to
pay them a percentage of your profits
every month and obey their rules menus
and prices but at the end of the day it
is your business and you do get some
freedom in managing some of the areas as
per how much it costs to open a subway
the estimated figure for setting up and
operating a Subway restaurant for the
first three months ranges between eighty
six thousand dollars and two hundred and
sixty four thousand dollars depending on
the location type keep in mind that
subway has only two types of franchises
traditional and non-traditional and for
each one of them you're going to need
around $100,000 or more to invest
everything else is business number 11 in
Singapore subway will not be using pork
meat anymore being the most popular food
chain in the world with more restaurants
than the giant McDonald's it's only fair
that the company adapted their subs to
every culture and tradition where they
open restaurants they change the pork
meat for Muslims and added vegan
ingredients to satisfy needs for every
individual in every country on the same
matter the subway in Singapore announced
it won't be using pork meat anymore due
to their growing Muslim community and
want to get a non pork protein
certificate as soon as possible this
announcement was made on their social
media account and is active since March
21st 2018 number 12 the footlong size
issue was settled in court when
something introduced to the world the
footlong sub it was a big thing it all
started in 2008 when they included it in
their menu the new submarine sandwich
the $5 footlong that was supposed to be
a footlong size sub meaning 30
centimeters or 12 inches unfortunately
for them Australia didn't meet the
criteria and their subs only measured 11
inches people were furious when they
found out about the sizing and it all
went to court subway ended up filing
settlements for over two years and was
required to measure every
sub to make sure it was the right size
in the end they paid out over $500,000
in lawsuit fees and possibly lost a few
clients along the way as well number 13
they removed the yoga mat chemicals
after a bloggers petition in order to
make all the main ingredients look and
taste the same every franchisee must use
the same techniques and products in
Subway's case the bread looks and tastes
the same in all of their locations
finding out what key ingredients they
use is not that hard as a matter of fact
in 2014 a blogger uncovered that subway
was actually using an ingredient called
a so carbon amide in their bread to make
the dough look white and feel fluffy
she took the story to the media and
started a petition to remove that
ingredient that can also be found in
yoga mats her action was successful and
the company removed the ingredient from
the bread but now the customers are
faced with the doubt of eating fresh at
Subway
number 14 Subway elevated a restaurant
for the One World Trade Center
construction workers we all know and
perhaps even witnessed the tragic events
of 9/11 since then New York City has
managed to rise up from the ashes and
move on as per the World Trade Center
buildings they are now a beautiful
memorial for those who died and suffered
almost 20 years ago in the same place
you'll now find two waterfalls and a
staggering skyscraper one World Trade
Center that's also a museum while
building the new skyscraper subway
helped the construction workers by
elevating a restaurant up into the air
at their level and serving sandwiches
this one-of-a-kind location for their
restaurant topped Subway's other oddest
locations of a church and a zoo number
15 the original sub cost only 49 cents
subway was founded more than 50 years
ago by Fred DeLuca was alone from his
friend Peter Buck purely because he
wanted to make some money in order to
pay for his future college tuition he
was 17 and wanted to attend med school
the first restaurant was named Pete's
super submarines and he was selling
sandwiches for only forty nine cents
nowadays you might not even bother to
pick up a 50-cent piece on the sidewalk
but money had other value in the 60s and
fifty cents would have gone
you a decent meal or a snack at Subway
which really is just a story of how
cents can add up to millions and
billions that's a wrap for today's video
I'll Xers it was a tasty journey and
we're curious to see in the comments
which sub or menu item is your top
choice for a quick healthy meal is it
the Italian BMT the turkey sub or the
footlong let us know down in the
comments and of course since you stuck
with us all the way to the end we are
letting you in on another bonus fact
about the restaurant chain that's larger
than life if I do say so myself here it
is number 16 subway makes enough
sandwiches in a year to wrap the whole
earth 14 times as we mentioned before
Subway is the largest fast-food
restaurant chain in the world with over
45,000 restaurants in over 112 countries
so you can imagine how many subs they
make every day and the tons of
ingredients they use for them
worldwide just to break it down subway
serves about 5300 sandwiches every 60
seconds which is roughly 320,000
sandwiches every hour and around 7.6
million subs every day
multiply that by 365 days and you can
wrap our planet 14 times with Subway
sandwiches now we're only waiting for
subway to actually do that at least for
an advertising campaign if not for real
life thank you for spending some time
