Subway's Disturbing History: Jared, The Infinite Destroyer, & Azodicarbonamide

Subway's history is WAY messier than you think. Sure, it's the biggest fast-food chain in America, but behind the Eat Fresh™ branding lies a disastrous past filled with lawsuits, bizarre marketing stunts, and yes… Jared Fogle.

In this episode, Terral Wells joins me to uncover Subway's wildest moments, from its humble beginnings as a way to fund med school to the time they got sued because their footlongs weren't actually a foot long. Oh, and did you know there's a Subway fashion show? Or that you can order something called the Infinite Destroyer sandwich in Tokyo? We're going deep.
