There’s a knack to streamline ordering at the well-oiled machine that is Subway and this is probably why we often tend to order the same thing.
Having one or two go-to orders usually stops you from becoming overwhelmed at the counter.
Whether it’s one of the classic menu items like the Meatball Marinara, BLT or Chicken Teryaki, or it’s a creation all of your own, it’s good to have a pretty solid idea of what you want on your sandwich when its your turn at the front.
It seems that not everyone likes to keep it simple though.
Subway staff from across the globe have been taking to social media to expose some of the most weird and wacky sandwiches they’ve ever created upon request.

One Subway server revealed on Reddit that he had a regular customer who liked his Subway toasted for so long that it was “basically charcoal”. He wrote: “First time he came in while I was on shift, I pulled his sandwich out of the toaster and he told me to put it back in… and again… and again.
“Apparently he really liked the taste of burnt everything.”

Another said that, despite Subway UK having multiple options for vegetarians and vegans, some people just want the salad and wrote: “I worked at a Subway a long time ago and a guy would order two full bags of lettuce on his sandwich every day.”
Similarly, a number of staff members said customers regularly asked for just cheese. No dressings or salad or anything, just a simple cheese roll – and sometimes not even toasted. One worker wrote: “I worked at Subway many years ago. There was a couple that would come in semi-regularly and she wanted just a double helping of American cheese on white bread.
“No veggies, no condiments. Just cheese.”

In what might be a little easier to get on board with for some people, a few Subway staff members revealed that for some, it appears none of the fillings will satisfy them quote like a sandwich simply stuffed full of Subway’s condiments and sauces. One worker commented that they were asked to make a 6-inch Sub with “just condiments” – “all of them”.
Another added: “Used to have a guy come in regularly to order a foot long on white, double mayo, salt, pepper. He then sat in the lobby and ate the whole thing.”
Well then.
You’ve probably no need to worry about getting strange looks from your server next time you decide to pass up on ‘cheese and toasted?’, or the three-for-£1 cookie offer.
Now, we haven’t told you these orders to give you a bit of a complex with your usual order next head into your local branch of the sandwich shop chain, or to make you think that Subway staff are judging your every pick, but mainly because it’s just so hard to believe that some of these orders were ever actually asked for.
Despite how bizarre the order is, it’s still good to know that Subway staff will make it for you anyway.

Everything inside the Sephora VIP goodie bags worth more than £1,000
Daisy Jackson
Sephora opening in Manchester has been causing a bit of a stir, with more than 2,000 people queueing up this week to try and nab a free goodie bag.
And while the presents being handed out to the public are pretty impressive, it’s nothing compared to the VIP goodie bags given out at the store’s official launch on Wednesday.
A number of celebrities, influencers, press and other special guests were invited to have a sneak peek of the huge new shop at the Trafford Centre before its official opening to the public.
At the glittering celebration, VIPs were given a glimpse at the huge range of products on offer inside Sephora’s first UK store outside of London.
Those in attendance included actor and TV presenter actor Katie Mcglynn, TV personality Caroline Thomas, actress Alex Fletcher and radio one presenter Natalie O’Leary, Real Housewives of Cheshire, Love Island personalities, and professional footballer Courtney Duffus.
Special guests of Sephora were then sent home with the goodie bag to end all goodie bags, stuffed full of full-sized cult products.
And having totted up the value of everything inside, we can confirm that each goodie bag is worth more than a grand (£1092.93, to be exact). Wowsers.
Viral products inside include Makeup By Mario lipstick, Olaplex, Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, Glossier You perfume, and MorrocanOil hair treatments.
There are also TikTok sensations like the Dr Jart Tiger Grass treatment, which comes out of its tub green but magically turns beige on the skin, cancelling out redness.
And Tarte’s take on the revolutionary tubing mascara, which comes off your lashes with only water and a wipe, was also chucked in.
The most high-value items in the Sephora goodie bags were an Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream worth £64, Caudalie’s brightening serum at £52, and a Neom candle for £38.
Mancs can apply to be paired up with two potential partners for a ‘unique’ Channel 4 dating show

Those who consider themselves to be pretty unlucky-in-love can now apply to take part in one of the most “unique” dating shows on TV.
Following the undoubted success of the first series – which has been airing on E4 for the past couple of weeks now, before concluding last Thursday (9 May) – Channel 4 has now put out a nationwide casting call for people to take part in the next series of its newest dating game show, Love Triangle.
And the show’s producers are calling on singletons from Greater Manchester to stick an application in.

Unfamiliar with Love Triangle?
Based off the US and Australian programmes of the same name, the UK version is a so-called “supersized” take on the show, and it seeks to “turn everything you know about dating on its head”.
In what is a first of its kind for UK television, the brand-new relationship format asks six courageous singles to reject all the conventions and pitfalls of modern app-based dating in favour of a “radical” new approach.

The six contestants will first choose a love match from two potential suitors.
One match embodies each single’s usual wants, type, and desires, while the other reflects their deeper and more “fulfilling” romantic needs.
After choosing one of the suitors to date, the other will then make a “shocking surprise return” to form a love triangle, and then, after dating and living with both suitors, each single faces a choice – they must pick one of their matches to “pursue lasting love”.
The casting call for contestants on the Channel 4 website reads: “In this unique relationship series reflecting dating in the real world, unlucky-in-love singles are matched with two potential partners, who each tick different boxes of their wants and needs, in the hopes of finding long-lasting love.”
To apply for the show, you just need to be 18 years of age or older, a resident of the UK, and crucially, single and “looking for love”.
