There are not many problems a footlong sub won't fix. Especially if you make it a meal deal.
Brits and their service stations is a love much greater than what we see in films and read in books. They're a quintessential part of any road trip, and can be the difference between a terrible journey and an incredible one.
There are more than 2,000 Subway stores dotted across the country, making them a popular service station choice. But two lads were left utterly baffled after coming across a rare sighting of a Subway drive-thru. However, there is an annoying catch that quickly crumbled their high hopes.
Kevin and Kieran D'Arcy are twin brothers who have amassed more than 87,000 TikTok followers due to their travel and food videos. In a recent post, they came across a Subway drive-thru located in Guisborough, Yorkshire, whilst driving down from Glasgow.
"I'm so bloody excited for this. Why is there not more Subway drive-thrus?" they said. "Now I don't even know where the hell we are, but if this is your local Subway be proud of it."
Subway could be sold in huge move that would affect thousands of restaurants
However, the siblings' excitement was dampened slightly after they realised all of the salad toppings and sauces were missing from the menu. This meant the Subway employee had to go through every single option for them to build their sandwiches.
"It turned something that was supposed to be fast into something that took forever," the content creators added. "That is right, they went through every single salad option and every single sauce."

People took straight to the comments section to praise the drive-thru, with one user writing: "That's amazing... [I] never knew this was a thing." Another commented: "Shut up, that's crazy." While a third added: "I'd be here every single day. I'm addicted to Subway salads."
However, many criticised the arduous task of not having the salad toppings or sauces clearly displayed on the menu. "How long did it take?" one person asked - while another said they felt sorry for the employee having to read all the options out loud.
Whilst not hugely common, the first UK Subway drive-thru opened back in 2019 in Swindon. Other outlets include Rochdale, Salford, Wakefield, and Belfast.
