Quiznos Torpedoes.

subs... Quiznos is known for having premium quality but expensive subs, but as most people have seen from their commercials they have been marketing their cheaper Torpedo Subs. In their commercials, it looked like an awesome deal, as the Torpedoes are 13 inch Quiznos Subs costing $4 + Tax (previously $5, but they reduced the price).

I decided to try one of the Torpedoes and chose the "Turkey Bacon Club" (Turkey, bacon, mozzarella, tomato/romaine confetti, Red Wine Vinaigrette, mayo). My first impression was that Torpedo was super skinny and that it was not enough! I mean, it was barely half the width of a normal foot long from subway. They have a chart that shows the Torpedoes' size in comparison to their other subs, but you notice how skinny they really are once you have the Torpedo in your hand. Taste wise, the Torpedo was solid, as Quiznos always makes tasty (but usually expensive subs). The bread they use is like a long toasted baguette.
Overall, I think the Torpedo is too small, but at $4 it is a decent price as these subs definitely do taste better than Subways $5 footlongs (although you get pretty much double the quantity for a dollar more at Subway). When going for these value subs, you will need to decide between quantity (Subway) or quality (torpedo).

In addition to the Turkey Bacon Club, the Torpedoes also come in 3 other flavours:
  • Italian- Capicola, salami, pepperoni, ham, mozzarella, tomato/romaine confetti, Red Wine Vinaigrette
  • Beef Bacon & Cheddar- Roast beef, bacon, cheddar, tomato/romaine confetti, mayo, Smokey Onion Mustard
  • Big Kahuna Tuna- Tuna salad, cheddar and tomato/romaine confetti with Red Wine Vinaigrette
