Subway Not Exactly Double Dipping in the Tuna Subway is in trouble — again. An ex-employee leaked how the sandwich chain’s tuna is really made. An independent lab tested 20 SoCal Subways, specifically its tuna, and 19 out of 20 contained no tuna or tuna DNA. How long does food last when it’s left out at a dinner party? According to food experts, two hours is already too long. Open-air buffets might be the filthiest way to eat. The dump dinner is making a comeback thanks to TikTok. Cover the table in foil or plastic, skip the plates and silverware, dump the food right in the middle, and eat with your hands. It’s less about manners and more about having a good time and making memories — plus nobody has to clean up. But with the price of Reynolds Wrap these days, it’s not as cheap as it sounds. It’s cold and flu season — should we really be sharing food like that? The price of OTC cold and flu meds at CVS and Walgreens is through the roof. ? Say It Isn’t So!
