AffectionateAd5373

My husband, being from the central NJ shore area, hadn't experienced Primo before the first time I took him to Wildwood. He got me a whole cheese hoagie. My sister and I ate it for 3 days. It was like that Simpson's episode, without the food poisoning.


acortright

Marge, I'd like a moment alone with the sandwich.


Vostroyan212th

Are you going to eat it?


Ruleyoumind

....yes.


BarryMacochner

3 days on a sandwich? Im 150lbs from the Pnw and I could do better than that. My appetite isn’t what it used to be though. I need to train up.


Katarzzle

They're more formidable than they look. The bread has strength and sesames like little hype men on top. And it's densely packed, Primo knows what they're doing. They also sell kosher dills the size of my forearm. The regional term is hoagie, btw.


avidblinker

It’s pretty split between sub and hoagie imo. Sandwich works fine in this context


BABarracus

I need to make a hogie soon and have orange soda


daschande

Kel Mitchell? How ya been, man?


Throckmorton_Left

If a chain is your best option for a hoagie, Primo is your best option for a chain.


Mister_E_Mahn

Damn, that’s a big sub. I love the seeds too. 11/10 want.

Believe that's the "Meat sweats and heartburn special"

This is the kind of sandwich I see on cartoons that makes my mouth water. I've gotta check out this place sometime.

Zero locations in SoCal. :( I guess Jersey Mike's is gonna keep taking my money. Can't complain, as Jersey Mike's is a huge quality upgrade from Subway, but for sure it looks like PrimoHoagies would be tough competition.


yesmrbevilaqua

Primos makes jersey mikes look like subway


lockon345

PUT DOWN THA JERSEY MIKES AND FIND YOU A REAL SAMMICH SHAHP GAWDANGIT! For real though, being in Socal (assuming you're not in San Bernardino or Riverside) and having 100+ location chain fastfood competing for the go to sandwich spot turns all my happy feelings into bad feelings.


kerouacrimbaud

Oh hell yes. One in Bmore!


NeutralHockeyPoster

philly area does italian hoagies like no other. and this is a chain.


larrylevan

Philly area does all sandwiches the best. Roast pork, chicken cutlet, cheesesteak, Italian hoagies, bahn mis even.


DuckDuckGoneForGood

Got a “14-inch” meatball sub around here the other day and that MFer was at least 18 inches. I will never leave this part of the country, lmao. The food is too good.


Zombeezee87

Why is liquid death so popular? It literally tastes like the tin can it came in, it's not good. My Britta filtered tap water tastes so much better.


Legitimate-Quote6103

They're popular at livenation venues so they can sell you water that you can't reseal, refill, or put in your pocket. Want both your hands back? Better drink all that water you got there. Thirsty again? Guess you'll be spending $5 more on water.


boris_keys

Want a beer? We only got tall boy cans for $19. Now are you tipping 20, 25, or 30%?

I got one the other day out of curiosity, and it was terrible. It's how I imagine piss after a beer bender would taste.

Meant to look like a cool beer so designated drivers or people that don’t drink can fit in without being outed if they’re around douchey people

Yeah this is peak Reddit lol Wholesome Keanu chungus 100 kind Sir, unless you like a popular thing I don’t like, which makes you an idiot and a loser


todayismyirlcakeday

It’s a brand of FLAT water in a can. The entire brand is “manly man” stuff.


UsernameIHardly

They literally sell sparkling water with flavors lol I drank one yesterday It’s water in a can. Anything further is you projecting


SwissMargiela

I can’t drink tap water where I’m at but I buy them because they’re not plastic bottles


Peatore

The cans are lined with plastic btw.


lemongrenade

Fun fact! Cans have a larger carbon footprint than plastic bottles. Canning equipment makes far more cans than a single fill site can handle so you need to factor in the extra emissions of trucks going to the canning site and then the filling site. Most plastic bottles are more vertically integrated and manufacture their own bottles and caps on site. Not that either are good but cans have a larger carbon footprint.


Lycid

To be clear - virgin cans have about double the carbon footprint on average vs plastic, but recycled cans have a similar footprint recycled bottles and the same footprint vs virgin bottles. Seeing as aluminum is infinitely recyclable while plastic bottles are often can not practically be recycled at all, and can't be recycled more than once - the comparative carbon footprint potential over the lifetime of the material used in a can isn't nearly that bad. Also, all of this carbon footprint business for aluminum has one huge caveat - it assumes all power generation is only coming from fossil fuels. Not only are there new technologies on the horizon that will allow for lower energy metal smelting processes without relying so much on the grid, but the energy mix of the world is shifting far greener. In a part of the world where aluminum cans are being made in an area that has a high number of renewables, the carbon footprint of making cans beats plastic. On top of this, we're not contributing to the massive ecological cost of using single use plastics that are as big of an issue on this earth as climate change is.

Zombeezee87

If it's plastic vs liquid death, liquid death wins.


CasualDefiance

The appearance being similar to a beer is nice if you're trying to stay sober but don't want to stand out.


southtocodeasunshine

This is why this exists. Everyone here seems lost on that fact.


CanIGetASourceOnThat

The plain ones taste metallic, the flavored ones are pretty good. That one's mango flavored, I like them better than other brands and the tallboy is nice to sip on through the day.


Zombeezee87

Ive only tried the lime and regular, the line taste like beer to me and the plain taste like the can. Maybe I'll give mango a shot tomorrow.


CanIGetASourceOnThat

I'm fairness I'm now realizing I've only ever had the mango flavor haha they're not totally sugar free like most other seltzers but I think it's much better than soda for people trying to quit.


Zombeezee87

If you have the money and are looking for a healthy alternative to soda look up olli pop. Their sodas (tonic?) Are so good, 5 grams of Suger 9 grams of fiber with probiotics. The root beer and grape soda are especially delicious.


CanIGetASourceOnThat

Ooo I tried that one, the root beer was really good! I actually forgot about those, I should find them again.


Automationdomination

*through the day* through the day??? it's 16oz of water


levilee207

I like it because I'm trying to wean myself off soda and it uses a sweetener that isn't sucralose/aspartame/ace k


dc456

How is it not soda? One is water, carbonation, flavourings and sweeteners. The other is water, carbonation, flavourings and sweeteners. What’s the difference?


avwitcher

Sparkling water isn't considered soda by anyone, are you one of those "a hot dog on a bun is a sandwich" or "cereal is a soup" people?


dc456

> Sparkling water isn’t considered soda by anyone It is when you add other ingredients. What do you think cola is made with? Sparkling water isn’t a special ingredient - it’s just another name for carbonated water. Genuinely, I cannot see any difference between soda and this stuff apart from branding.


SamuelRhath

I believe the difference is sugar, price, and exact ingredient content. Most sodas (at least to me as an American) are more expensive in store (around 2-3$ mark per 16 oz), contain much higher sugar contents, and contain many secondary ingredients that "maintain flavor," and are preservatives. Liquid Death afaik, contains very little sugar per can, isn't usually expensive in store (landing about 1.50-2$ per can), and as far as the ingredients listed, is usually just simple ingredients and basic flavorings. I could definitely be wrong, but Liquid Death to me, is logically a better choice (outside of taste).


Protoliterary

But sugar has nothing to do with it. Sugar-free coke is still soda. Price *really* doesn't have anything to do with it.


SamuelRhath

Most sparkling waters aren't high in sugar; most sodas are. Sodas need a "Diet" or "sugar free" to then appeal to a different crowd that the sparkling waters are already aiming for. That distinction of one needing a diet to match the other is a fair point in my mind. Price is enough of a factor for me personally to avoid soda when I can buy a cheaper alternative, but I'll concede it. Personal opinion. Ingredients are definitely an important factor though. Many people will avoid one item over another should it include things like sucralose, or any of the long list of preservatives used commonly in soda. LD is definitely favorable for it's lack of manufactured ingredients.


Heathen_Mushroom

Soda is literally any carbonated water, by definition. You are actually describing 'soft drinks' which are sodas with added flavorings and colors.


SamuelRhath

Honestly, I started getting pedantic about the definition of soda vs. Sparkling water. I started this to try and give some reasons as to why LD is discernable different from soda. It's my bad for forgetting my first comment.


Protoliterary

Sparkling water *is* soda. You can make up all sorts of things about how you feel about what soda should and shouldn't be, but carbonated drinks are basically always just soda. There are different types of soda, but they're all soda. LD is soda by definition. I'm not saying it's as unhealthy as coke is or anything, but it's soda. That's it.


SamuelRhath

Is any carbonated alcohol a soda then? Any beer or mixed drink that includes carbonated water? There's a distinction to be made between the two. Maybe the flavored LD's are closer to a soda than a sparkling water, but the brand itself and most sparkling waters have clear differences to most sodas.

dc456

Sprite and Fanta don’t have caffeine. And wouldn’t that make caffeine-free Coca-Cola no longer a soda?


Lycid

Its not actually popular it's entirely supported by a massive, massive VC funded "fake grassroots" marketing budget that forces it to show up everywhere. That's why it came out of nowhere but shows up by pallets at the stores and at venues. I remember last year one of the larger camps at Burning Man was supposedly "secretly" bankrolled by these clowns. They had one of the more impressive structures/setups at the event. Probably cost hundreds of thousands to build including cost of labor. The catch was everyone part of the camp had to be drinking this drink. Sure enough I go there and loads of people are just drinking it, sometimes painfully obviously so (I'm pretty sure employees of the company were there). This kind of thing is supposed to be a huge no-no at burning Man as corporate sponsorships are not allowed at all to the point where everyone is supposed to cover up obvious branding, including putting stickers over the apple logo on your phone. While generally most people don't care *that* much to cover up something like phone logos, the spirit of the rule is to avoid rich assholes turning the event into an advertising platform, which liquid depth obviously tried to do in a hush hush way. What's even more annoying is this camp had one of the worst rated camps for litter by far by the post event playa restoration team. You're supposed to do a clean sweep of your own camp before you leave to leave no trace of you being there, so when resto shows up they can cleanly walk right through without slowing down to clean up after you. These guys basically didn't clean up after themselves at all. I'll be seriously annoyed if they're allowed back next year. So yeah. The only reason you see them everywhere is some rich asshole(s) are throwing all of their money into bullshit marketing and forced deals which I suppose they can easily do as the product is fucking just water in a can. Honestly I wouldn't doubt if this post is secretly a /r/hailcorporate marketing post too.


boy____wonder

TIL about product marketing and corporate sponsorships. Next you're going to tell me that athletes don't really drink Coca Cola every day.


TimTebowMLB

Just get the store brand flavoured sparkling water for a fraction of the price. Liquid Death is a complete ripoff so that manly dudes can feel tough drinking sparkly water that doesn’t look gay and looks like a tough Viking drink. Grow up


UsernameIHardly

- Guy who knows everything about why people choose specific brands of water


TimTebowMLB

No, there are other scenarios. Like: they’re suckers and buy it because their favourite podcast told them to.
