![]() ![]() One Redditor volunteered this review: "Sandwiches there remind me of something you'd get out of a vending machine. ![]() Well, you might get leftovers with a sub, but no one is going to want to eat them later. Sure, the pizza might cost a few bucks more, depending on the promotion, but do you know what you get with pizza? Leftovers - something that's not going to come with that sub. Their medium pizzas usually cost around $11, but they almost always have a promotion going on that gives customers a medium pizza with multiple toppings for anywhere from $7 to $10. Prices vary by location, of course, but their sandwiches tend to ring in at about $7.50. You could get a medium pizza instead and have way more food."Ī look at their app says there is some truth to this argument. One volunteered this bit of simple economics: "They are priced too high to be worth it to me. When one person asked the hive mind whether or not they were worth ordering, there were a few reasons people suggested giving them a miss. (The Gargantuan also has a mind-numbing 7120 mg of sodium, meaning anyone concerned about their blood pressure or heart health absolutely shouldn't be ordering this one.)Īnd on top of that, there are a lot of people on Reddit who are of the opinion that Domino's subs just aren't worth it. You know what you're getting - a massive sandwich, and way more than you should probably be eating for the whole day. No one expects a sandwich called the Gargantuan to be healthy, and that makes it sort of acceptable. That tops the Gourmet Veggie Club by 150 calories, and strangely, it actually has less fat - 1040 grams for a 16-inch, 9-grain wheat. When it comes to monsters on the Jimmy John's menu, there's only one sub that's comparable: the JJ Gargantuan. Another Redditor volunteered, ".the standard amount of mayo we're supposed to put on there is disgusting," and another suggested if you have your heart set on this monstrous sandwich, you should at least skip the mayo and opt for adding some of the freebies - like peppers and onions - to make up for the flavor you're losing without the mayo. Most of the problem here comes from the double provolone and the mayo. Our same 16-inch Gourmet Veggie Club has a pretty shocking 22 grams of sugar! To use McDonald's to put that in perspective again, a vanilla cone from the Golden Arches has about the same amount of sugar (24 grams). The American Heart Association recommends women limit their sugar intake to 25 grams (or 6 teaspoons) per day, and men limit their sugar consumption to 36 grams (or 9 teaspoons). Who would have thought a veggie sub would be high blood pressure and a heart attack on a roll? And we're not even done yet.įinally, let's talk about the sugar. Our 16-inch, 9-grain wheat Gourmet Veggie Club sandwich from Jimmy John's has more than twice that ideal limit: 3230 mg of sodium. Sodium is in a ton of foods, though, and if you want to talk about what's ideal, that number shouldn't be higher than 1500 mg. The American Heart Association has some definite recommendations when it comes to sodium, and they say adults should realistically limit their salt intake to 2300 mg per day. Even the Unwich, which means it's wrapped in lettuce instead of bread, contains 55 grams of fat! Even if you get the smaller versions of the sub, you're looking at getting your day's daily value in pretty much every size. That's between 44 and 78 grams of fat each day, and we don't have to point out that one of those Gourmet Veggie Club sandwiches comes in at way, way more than that. The Mayo Clinic says that if you're on a 2000-calorie-a-day diet, only between 400 and 700 calories should come from fat. If you had chosen McDonald's instead, you could eat four Big Macs, have only a few more calories (2160), and less fat! Those four Big Macs only contain 112 grams of fat, and when you start using the word "only" when it comes to Big Macs? There's a big problem. ![]()
