  Bananas are berries
context: I disagree purely on the basis that fruit sides when offered at such places are always shit. Blackened banana, tasteless apple, shriveled tangerine. At the end of the day at least there isn’t a quality concern with a bag of chips >
  
  Yeah people forget that fresh fruit is perishable and doesn't really fit into fast food supply chains.
  Now maybe some stuff like... I guess apple sauce maybe?  Something like that. >
  
  Chick Fil A figured it out. >
  
  Their fruit is kinda frozen tho. >
  
  That must be the answer then. >
  
  You could just not get the side. The sandwiches are already pretty calorie dense >
  
  That and stop going to crappy nationwide chains.  Typically you can find much better local delis and sandwich shops.  Hell even the supermarket typically does better sandwiches, typically. >
  
  Publix subs ftw! >
  
  While I do love a pubsub, my unpopular opinion is that they are quite overrated. They ARE good for a supermarket sammich, but I’d still rather eat a Jersey Mikes or Jimmy Johns. >
  
  Jimmy John’s is the most overrated sandwich chain. >
  
  I don’t hear many people ever claiming they’re great or even good. They’re everywhere, fast, and convenient. >
  
  So is Circle K. You insinuated that Jimmy John’s is on par with Jersey Mike’s and better than Publix. Jimmy John’s is mediocre at best. >
  
  No, you inferred that. I said I’d rather eat it than a pubsub. Quality wasn’t mentioned but thanks for stopping by. >
  
  Ok. Enjoy your terrible sandwiches! >
  
  Will do. Have fun changing my oil. >
  
  I skip the sides and just load my sandwich up with vegetables: spinach, cucumbumber, onion, green bell pepper, tomato, pickles olives etc. I either stick with brown mustard or salt and pepper and skip the high sugar and fat dressings. >
  
  Mustard is such a great condiment. Piquant, the only major concern with it is sodium, goes with almost everything. I usually need a little vinegar added for sheer moisture, though. Dry sandwiches get hard to chew. >
  
  Oftentimes the fruits are not fresh. >
  
  It’s possible, but it’s going to be ludicrously expensive. 
  At Panera, we sell fruit cups, but they’re not worth it. $4 for 3-4 1” cubes of honeydew/cantaloupe, 2-3 cubes of pineapple, and 3-4 grapes. It’s such a ridiculously small portion, especially considering the $4 up charge. Even if you do want two sides, say, an apple and chips, we only charge $1 for an extra side. So even if you buy a second or even third side, it’s still half the price of upgrading to a fruit cup. 
  We only sell like 5-10 per day, and it wastes so much prep time considering we only make a dozen daily. It’s almost an hour of prep time just to make $48 of merchandise that expires in 36 hours, even when keeping it refrigerated. 
  It’s just not feasible, not on the consumer end or the business end. Why wouldn’t you just go to a grocery store, and buy a quart of prepped fruit for more or less the same price, maybe $5-8 for quintuple the quantity? >
  
  Don't forget those cubes of melon aren't ever ripe! >
  
  That's exactly what I was thinking. The average fruit cup is 90% unripe melon.
  Edit: Plus one wimpy, overripe grape >
  
  I think OneWimpyOversizedGrape is the next username I choose for anything.  Thank you for your service. >
  
  if they sold regularly they would. trust me if there is a market for it the company will sell it.
  the issue though is fruit spoils and rots quickly and that's wasted revenue. that bag of chips and sealed cookie can sit there for weeks. >
  
  Unpopular opinion because it's not economically feasible. Fruits are significantly more expensive than potatoes, they spoil, and that cost would need to be made up in the menu prices. >
  
  I'm 90% sure there's apples at Subway. I mean, I don't get them... but like, I see them there.
  Have you had a chocolate chip Subway cookie? I have plenty of healthy options at home, I'm picking the cookie. >
  
  i have eaten at subway a lot and have never once seen an apple >
  
  There are definitely apple slices at Subway. They are in the cooler where the water is kept. I have always gotten apples with my sandwiches. >
  
  You probably just need to ask. >
  
  Most of them do? Atleast in my experience. >
  
  Exactly. I’m baffled by these comments. Maybe it is regional? All of my sandwich shops have at least one fruit option, even fast food restaurants have a fruit option. >
  
  Idk if it's by law or anything, but almost any place you can eat has fruits and veggies. Any sandwich place I've ever been to either has "fresh" fruit, or like, pre packaged apple slices or fruit cups or something >
  
  Yeah, that has always been my experience too. >
  
  Doesn't Subway have apple slices? >
  
  nah they’d give us the shitty bagged sliced apples that taste like pure acid. i’ll pass >
  
  Pickles go good with sammiches >
  
  Have you ever put chips in your sub? Total game changer, fruit on the hand, ew. >
  
  Avocado and Tomato are fruit!
