100% correct move from Ireland, but how about none of us read the article and just mock Irish people as it is one of the last forms of socially acceptable discrimination left.

Wait till they find out about the 'meat'

There’s 10g max in a footlong depending on what kind you choose... what does that ruling even mean, literally more sugar in a salad

Subway is terrible. Foot longs aren't 12 inches. Chicken is partly chicken and bread is now sugar cake. The food is bland and the customer service is questionable. The rudeness of their employees is what has kept me from returning. I like to feel my dollar is appreciated

😟

Ah what do the Irish have for us today

Fuccc I'm on my lunch break reading this while eating Subway

How bizarre - a country whose government actually looks out for the well-being of its citizens instead of using them for corporate profit. Living in the U.S., I didn't know that actually existed. subway

People still eat SUBWAY 🤮

I’m still gonna go there. Can’t do without the Italian sub!

bigfatsurprise ⬆️😳

🤔🤔 wtf are we eating

this is a tragedy omg

Wait till the discover the chicken is not real chicken...

LetThemEatCake

At what point does 'bread' contain so much sugar that it ceases being bread and starts being a cookie?

I literally can’t 😂😭 this is why I cook at home lol 😭

Crinioc

Is it only not bread in Ireland or is it a global thing?

🤣

It contains a lot of sugar? Why does it taste so shitty then?

SubwayBread ThursdayThoughts October1st To be honest I don't really give a s*** if Subway bread isn't considered 'bread' I'm still going to eat my chicken teriyaki on honey oat bread! TRY AND STOP ME! SUBWAY I'M COMING FOR A SANDWICH SUBWAY! 👊😠 ❤️

Read your own article before writing the headline. The headline is objectively false.

cian_crimmins

sarahhamner, when did you last have subway sandwich? 😂

We need this type of leadership here

Processed garbage anyway.

Sandwich and dessert rolled into one.

What´s special about this? McDonalds sells fake meat which has been shown to have human DNA, demonstrated by PCR. Hypocrisy

Let’s measure the Bliss Point in fast food products across the spectrum. Perhaps start with the ones kiddos consume daily. If we won’t do it in the US, sounds like other countries will take a peak and let us know...

Can Ireland's Supreme Court look into TACO BELL?

does that make it cake then?

We don’t get real bread in the states unless you’re friends w tompapa

Subway isn’t even food

As an American, I am supremely jealous (See what I did there?) that your court is concerned about issues such as this one while our court will soon take away our health care plans.

Subway in my head vs Subway in reality.

So does that mean my Spicy Italian is really on a cookie? /facepalm

Wait until they look at what goes inside.

Call it pain au sucre SUBWAY and you’re lit

I'm laughing! My Mom (RIP, '19) would be doing the 'told ya so dance.' She was Irish, emigrated to US at 21, and spent, literally, 50 years here whining about how crappy most American breads (and baked goods) are. 'Too sweet, too soft, full of crap.' This is her somewhere...

Imagine if the US Supreme Court made life-changing, defining rulings like this one? Ban high fructose corn syrup at the federal level like South Korea did! JSHCapital

Deal with the whole “beans for breakfast” thing before you worry about Subway.

Bread is when you smell happiness. It cracks into your hands and connects you to your taste buds. I knew there was some no bread in it.

So, their bread is not bread and their chicken is not chicken...

It's cake with lettuce in between.

If oats and almonds can make milk, Subway’s shitty sugarloaf can be bread

So I guess cinnamon raisin bread wouldn't be bread either

Good ole Emerald Isle, where focus is on legal definition of bread what could go wrong?

Some Irish subway wanted to not include value added tax on their bread as a staple food but the sugar content is too much to categorize it as staple food version of bread hence it got overruled and taxes remain...for those who don't want to read

What about no more soda With meals....

People have to stop living off of the Government and make ends met on their own! Step up get a job, pay your taxes, feel good about yourself (self pride)!! It’s hard work but makes you and everybody around you better!!! Stop depending on others make today the day to GO GET IT!!!!

Supreme Court knows what bread is!

Wait till they see Lucky Charms cereal.

Call it sugar cake .

TEN FUCKING PERCENT AND PEOPLE THINK IM CRAZY WHEN I SAY SUBWAY IS DISGUSTING

🚨🔥🚨🔥🚨🔥🚨🔥🚨🔥 MORE DEMOCRAT INSANITY 👇

potbelly wins again

Is that why Burger King rolls are so good?

mabbmike

It’s not even good bread

Real bad look

As a lawyer, 'Lyin' Ted' should appreciate that you don't repeatedly interrupt your opponent in a debate, especially a president debate. If such misconduct is to be tolerated, put president candidates in a ring and let them fight it out. Demagogue Donald is barbaric.

New York City Companies Lure Subway-Wary Workers With Travel StipendsSome employers are willing to help pay for options including Citi Bikes, Ubers—even discounted parking—to get workers back into the office while concerns persist about the subway during the coronavirus pandemic. StopAzerbaijaniAggression StopTurkishAggression Erdoganisaterrorist I would remind them there are 10mln out of work that will replace them. I know of one company that has been requiring at least some office attendance pretty much all along (except for one short stretch in the spring). They tell the employees to drive into NYC, and they cover the parking fee (though not the tolls).
