Totally disappointing

I know this isn't the place where I blog about food, but I am so saddened by my lunch experience today that I feel it has to be spread to a wider audience. I've been on a diet for 5 or 6 weeks now. Things are going well, but one thing that has always been on my mind has been those delicious Quizno's tuna subs. I love them. Or more accurately I loved them.

You see today I decided that I would have a sub for lunch. It's a permitted lunch on the diet (as long as I forgo the cheese). I haven't had one in months. I made the decision to have it last night and at one point M said "you have to stop fantasizing about your lunch tomorrow, it's a little scary" and it was. But I've been wanting one of these, like, forever.

So, lunch arrives today and I trot over to the Q and I order my sub. I note that the sub sauce is different. It's a cream sauce and not the Italian one it once was. I also note that the bread is smaller (which is really fine by me). The staff were a little clued out, not like the old guard at this Q that would start making my order when I walked in the door. Once the bread was through the toaster, I also noted that the tuna was a little different too. Not as well mixed as it once was. I was concerned that some of the shine had come off this experience already.

And then I tasted it. It was truly a shadow of what the sub had once been. I know that companies are always tweaking their products to make them better, it just didn't teak in my direction this time.

Really, it's just as well. What better way to kill a craving for something then to have a sub par experience with it. I can't hunger for something that no longer exists. So I guess a thank you is in order for the Q. A backhanded thank you, but a thank you none the less.
