Emerald Catron — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 16:33:54 +0000

You should probably watch this video. Especially if you need something absurd to turn your day around. This is about as ridiculous as it gets.

Emerald Catron — Fri, 04 Jan 2013 20:57:31 +0000

Maybe Subway is stepping up their game a tad. They've made it abundantly clear that they now have avocados and sriracha sauce, and they will NOT be putting ketchup on anybody's sandwich. At all. They don't even have ketchup, and one employee was willing to fight to prove it. They don't call them sandwich artists for nothing.
