Subway has been the most popular sandwich shop in America for decades. However, the home of the footlong sub is no stranger to controversy regarding the quality of its food. There was that 2021 lawsuit alleging that Subway’s tuna blend is made of ingredients “that do not constitute tuna” (which was dismissed in 2023 FYI), accusations that meatballs are made in the microwave, and another lawsuit claiming that the chain is guilty of “grossly misleading” customers by advertising sandwiches that contain at least three times more meat than they actually do.

It’s easy to stick to the same skin care routine you’ve had for years. The reality is, though, your skin won’t always glow or bounce back like it once did, so you may want to think about switching up products every now and then.
