Like a lot of people burned out with Twilight-mania, I am fucking sick of vampires, and generally have little to no interest in reading, seeing or hearing anything about them.

[Mini Review] Subway’s Chicken Marinara Melt

Subways’ new Chicken Marinara is a Five Dollar Footlong available for a limited time only. And that is definitely a good thing. The faster this thing gets off the menu, the better. The Chicken Marinara is quite possibly the single worst sandwich I’ve ever gotten from Subway. The flavors of the sauce and the chicken don’t blend well and the thin slices of chicken breast are incapable of holding a hot temperature. By the time you are halfway done with the thing the bread is soggy, the sauce and meat are cold, and you will be gagging on every disgusting bite.

What a waste of five dollars.
