/ck/ - Food & Cooking

So what are your examples of the schroedingers cat effect in the food & cooking area? (stuff that indicates that we live in a alternate universe)

For me it's "subways". It was always called "subways" but if you check the internet right now you'll only see the company being called "subway" and any traces of its former real name are vanished.

>Hungry after work, decide to give Subway a try
>Never been there before, heard they have some sandwiches, figure I can just go in and ask for one
>Walk in, check out the menu
>Tell the guy over the counter I'd like a spicy italian since it sounds nice
>Apparently I misunderstood what the point of the menu was because he goes to the counter and asks what I want on my bread, so I look at the ingredients and am not really sure
>"Uh, a little of everything I guess?" thinking that 'everything' meant all of the available ingredients for the spicy italian which is what I asked for (thinking turkey, ham, salami, etc)
>He looks like I just popped a balloon in his face and tells me to pick
>"s-sorry guess I can't do that here"
>Have him throw some stuff on there, move to veggies and all that
>Final product isn't really much of a spicy italian at all but Im nervous and embarrassed
>Sandwich wound up being something like 9.50$ without a drink or side dishes and there wasn't even much on it

I feel like an autist but I also feel like something didn't go quite right. If I ask for a specific sandwich off the menu, don't they just make it that way? What's the point of asking for a specific kind of sandwich if you have to build it ingredient by ingredient anyways? If I wasn't autistic and on 8 different stimulants I'd have been more embarassed but the whole process felt dumb.

10 bucks, I could have bought a loaf of bread and my own ingredients for that much.
