BaldDwarfOnPCP posted:Pretty sure it was a food coloring probably linked to cancer studies. Or the iron. Pssh. They tried to kill Irish red lemonade with that 'ooh that chemical causes cancer' shite, so we just replaced the poisonous chemical with a not poisonous one. And if ye canna handle a bit of extra iron maybe try not having having that weird genetic quirk that make your body hoard iron like a weirdo?

Amphigory posted:Sugar replaced mostly with sweetener, like most UK soft drinks now Same in Ireland. It's so stupid. I never drink sugary fizzy drinks because I hate the weird furry feeling you get on your teeth afterwards, but I am 100% opposed to them being generally eliminated. People ought to be able to choose to drink them if they want.

There's still a Quiznos near my house but I've never been because the last time they were in the news it was because their seafood sandwich killed some dumb lady

I've only had Quizno's a few times and it was always delicious... but there's probably a reason that dozens of them in my very large city have gone out of business.

I thought it was also that the sandwiches were very complicated and time-consuming to make compared to other shops so it was a low-margin business, but maybe I'm misremembering which chain that was.

There's one left in Reno, NV. Never been but it's near the Home Depot by my house. Surprised its still there, it might be the Last of the Mohicans but for Quiznos.
