Title: Quizno's
Post by: iago on October 21, 2005, 08:40:40 pm
My mom got offered a job as store manager at a local Quiznos Subs.  She's pretty sure she's going to take it, at least for awhile. 

They have the best subs... mmmm

That's pretty sweet. You'll have to mail me some Canadian quiznos coupons. Even if they don't work, that would be pretty dope.

Well, we used to use American Quizno's coupons at work all the time.  We just photoshopped (actually, MSPaint'ed) out the part that said, "For American stores only"

I made this a while ago:

(http://www.quikness.com/quiznos-spoof.jpg)

I found it pretty comical that they had an online coupon with 'do not print or copy' on it. The background supposedly makes it so you can't easily photoshop the coupon, but there was no background in back of that. If I printed that on low quality, they'd never notice the difference.

It's not that I can't get coupons, it's that I want Canadian ones, eh :(

Post by: iago on October 22, 2005, 02:05:55 pm
yeah, that looks pretty much like the ones we MSPaint'd.  They had that background, which was the tricky part.  We also had to change the expiry date :).  It was printed off on the laser printer at work, which is pretty high-end, so we had to do a reasonably good job. 

The coupons were for, "Buy a learge sub, get a small one free".  So basically, get a large for the price of a regular..

Yeah, there were a few different ones. This was just an experiment to see if I could do it. I still want your Canadian coupons :x

Hmm, they don't have commercials up here. 

And if I can save myself $4/day, twice a week (which is how often I used to go before they closed my favorite branch), that adds up fast+++!

I don't think I've ever been to Quizno's. Just Subway and Schlotzsky's (I ate there yesterday!)
Title: Re: Quizno's
Post by: Blaze on October 23, 2005, 11:24:19 pm
Of course just me, who else would they be advertiseing for, people? Pffft.

The main sub places here are : Subway, Mr. Sub, Quiznos.  My friend Mikhail's mom owns a subway, so :).

Same.  Except I don't have a friend Mikhail. 

I've never been to a Mr. Sub.  I like Subway and Quizno's pretty equally, but when it came down to it, I'd pick Subway because I liked getting the free sub every 8th time.  Now that they've gotten rid of that, I mostly just go to Quizno's.

I go to Mr. Sub because I like beef, and they have the best Meatball subs.  I toast it at home btw. :)

Post by: Sidoh on October 24, 2005, 12:55:21 am
Quizno's is yummy, I think it's way better than Subway.  I really don't like any of their "specialty" sandwiches, though.
Title: Re: Quizno's
Post by: GameSnake on October 24, 2005, 02:39:13 pm
Funfact for you guys: they have herring subs at our local Subway. I am aware that no other Subway sells those subs except in Holland, and we like mayo on fries btw, ketchup sux.

Good, I don't want that here. That's disgusting! :)  Of course, I hate fish in general..

Mayo rocks on fries, but it's got so much fat in it that I can't in good faith eat it on fries (often).

In all that fuss you forgot to point out that this is about Quiznos not Subway but your forgiven. :P Kidding aside though.. ketchup sucks.

I don't care, a sub is a sub, and I don't want fish on it :)

I like ketchup.  You're wrong :-P

iago, Sidoh's post was the american commercial.

It was?  You can say "better than Subway" on commercials?
Title: Re: Quizno's
Post by: Joe on October 25, 2005, 11:14:32 am
I meant the one before that, but yeah. Haven't you ever seen an American commercial? All they do is bash other companies.
Title: Re: Quizno's
Post by: iago on October 25, 2005, 11:34:32 am
You were a bit slow.  If you're posting to a reply like 20 posts ago, that I'd already long forgotten, you should quote it :-P.  Plus, nobody asked. 

And no, I find that commercials, even American ones, rarely bash another company by name.  They usually say "the leading brand" or "another large brand" or something, but rarely by name.

I've never seen that on a commercial.  What "normal" people do is their own business.

It's still mudslinging, advertising or not. And the Coke vs Pepsi trials were well published on Pepsi's commercials, they claimed to have beat Coke 3-to-1.

Often times, commercials will talk 'smack' about their competater. I've seen some BK vs. McDonalds commercials, and definitely Coke vs. Pepsi, so..

What about  NetZero vs AOL :) That old guy owns.

Post by: Joe on October 26, 2005, 07:35:29 am
Its kind of funny that he doesn't mention that if you don't need all the nice comfy security features that AOL provides you, you get AOL without the security features in the form of Netscape, which is just as cheap as NetZero.

Hm.

The only real reason I like Quizno's is because of seldomly seeing that comercial.

Here's annother vodeo by the same people (flash video) (http://www.rathergood.com/moon_song/) It's basically the same song/ tune, just different lyrics.

I think that I can find the comercial

[Edit] no dice.. Uhh, it's made by the people at: http://www.rathergood.com/

There's also a band that did a song called "Gay Bar." I belive it's "Electric six" or like "Electric 6" or something, it's funny. The video's got Abraham Lincoln in it, and he's prancing arround. Try and find it, it's funny++!~!
