We have Olives!

2024/12/8 Edited to

Olives are not just a tasty snack; they are packed with health benefits. They are rich in healthy fats, antioxidants, and vitamins that support heart health and reduce inflammation. Incorporating olives into your meals can enhance flavors in salads, pastas, and tapenades. When choosing olives, you can opt for variety such as Kalamata, green, or black olives, each bringing unique taste profiles to dishes. They can be eaten raw, included in savory dishes, or used as a topping for your favorite pizzas. Additionally, olives are low in calories, making them a great choice for those watching their weight. With their versatility, olives can also play a significant role in Mediterranean diet, which is praised for its potential health benefits. Next time you're at the grocery store, don’t forget to grab a jar of olives and explore the many ways you can enjoy them in your daily meals!

A sign titled 'Attention Valued Customers' displays charges for extra vegetables: $0.75 for 'Extra Vegetables' and $1.50 for 'Extra Extra Vegetables'. It clarifies that vegetables not on the original sandwich build are considered extra. A partial menu for bread and cheese is also visible.

When did we start getting charged for veggies?

Sooo I went to my local Subway a few days ago and I asked for extra pickles. Not a problem. Then I asked for extra olives. The artist pointed at the sign and explained that from now on, we’re only allowed to ask for extra of 1 veggie. So my extra pickles were free, but if I wanted extra olives they

Everything’s else is basically just vegetables, which is a time tradeoff because of prepping. Totally worth it though because (1) you can tailor to your taste and (2) it tastes so much
