we wanted to find out all the differences

between Subway in India and the US.

This is "Food Wars."

Subway sandwiches in India come in two sizes:

6 inches, 12 inches.

Subway in the US also has those two sizes,

6-inch and 12-inch.

Now, the website also says there's a 4-inch sub

called a chhota sub, chhota meaning small,

but mysteriously, it is unavailable.

We called four outlets. Wasn't there.

And now we shall measure the 12-inch sub

to see if it actually is 12 inches.

Joe: Keeping them honest, right?

That's 12 inches.

All right, Subway.

I'm getting more than 12 inches here.

Subway has given me a 13-inch sub.

This is why I love Subway.

Fun doesn't stop there, 'cause in the US,

Subway also offers catering options.

First, you can get this, a platter,

which is five foot-long subs cut into threes,

making a total of 15 pieces.

See? Boom, boom.

The discrepancies continue here in India.

The website says that we too have a platter option,

but we called a bunch of stores,

no platter option.

And on top of that, in the US,

you can get a 3-foot-long party sub.

Gush!

We didn't get it this time.

Graphics, you can go ahead and put a

3-foot party sub right in front of me.

Thanks, guys.

OK, is my ex-girlfriend running

the Subway and their website?

Because it's full of lies.

They not only advertise a 3-foot sub,

but a 6-foot giant sub.

And surprise, surprise, we called a couple of stores,

no 6-foot giant sub.

In fact, they said, "There are barely any 6-foot humans

here in India, why would there be a 6-foot sub?"

And I was like, "Yeah, sorry, I am the idiot."

Hang up!

OK, I am a short king.

175 centimeters.

This is how much I measure.

Now, this is a 6-foot sub next to me.

Why would this be a thing?

It's taller than me.

Well, Joe is 6 feet tall, so,

I'll go ahead and [grunts].

So, if graphics go ahead and make me a sandwich

in three, two, one.

You know, this is pretty comfortable.

Can we do the rest of the shoot like this?

Ah, this is pretty nice.

Here in India, Subway has actually opted out

of using a lot of plastic,

which is why they only stock these 330 ml cans,

which I am going to measure just to make sure

we are not being fooled by PepsiCo.

Mm. Smells like my teeth decaying.

Yeah, looks about right, 330 ml.

Subway in the US, we're still totally using plastic cups.

Small, medium, large,

and the large is supposed to be 40 ounces.

Why someone would want to drink 40 ounces of something

that's not malt liquor in one sitting is beyond me,

but if you want 40 ounces of soda, good Lord,

Subway has you covered.

I, of course, am curious to see

if there actually is 40 ounces in this drink.

Full "Food Wars" transparency,

I did have to fill up my own fountain drink.

Let's be honest.

Can we agree that if you had to get your own drink,

fill it up to go, you would probably get this much?

Now, keep in mind, the cap is recessed.

For everyone roasting me in the comments

for not filling it up enough,

like, you can only fill this thing up so much.

Oh, my God, not even close.

You know, I'm even gonna, like,

get the condensation on the cup in there

just to even, like, help tip the scales in their favor.

Right?

34?

6? You guys are ... [sighs].

Just say it's the 34-ounce cup. Or 35 ounces.

We're still gonna get it.

Still gonna get it.

Shame on you.

I saw that John Oliver episode.

Terrible, Subway. Shame on you.

What you're doing with the franchisees,

and what you're doing skimping on the sodas.

Here are all the Subway menu items from India

that you won't find in the US.

Here's all the Subway menu items

from the US you won't find in India.

Obviously, Subway lets you customize your sandwiches,

so we're not talking about

every single different combination.

We're just going on what is on the menu now.

Let's begin.

It's glorious.

This feels like a Subway buffet,

and I get to pick whatever I want.

First of all, the aloo patty.

This is basically potato which has been cut up into pieces

and then fried with breadcrumbs on top.

Mm.

This is not bad, but I think you can add

all the fancy sauces you want into this thing,

nothing will beat a humble Mumbai vada pav.

Corn and peas. That looks like a lot of mayo.

I don't think I shall ever order this sub.

This is a local legend, the hara bhara kebab sub.

This is the first thing a vegetarian will order

at an Indian restaurant,

because it's this delicious mishmash

of spices, vegetables, and potato,

fried, tangy, delicious.

Next up, we have a Mexican patty.

I would like to extend an apology

to all my Mexican brethren watching

that their great culture has been reduced

to a patty of aloo and beans.

Paneer tikka, beautiful pieces

of cottage cheese, as you call it.

Is it weird for me to bite a Subway

right through the middle?

Would that upset you?

It's nice.

I wouldn't go with this particular combination

of vegetables and sauces.

Also, I just want to point out there are literally

three pieces of paneer in here.

When I used to go to Subway in college,

I would make sure that they put in a lot of protein.

This is despicable.

Veg seekh kebab.

Seekh kebab, typically, is minced meat

that's sort of pressed onto a skewer and then grilled.

But this is a veg version.

It has a lot of different mixed vegetables and potato.

Mm!

That's pretty yummy.

I love the onions. The sauce combination is great.

And the seekh kebab itself, lot of flavor.

Next up, we have the vegetarian shammi kebab.

As you can see, they're nice round little balls.

Shammi kebabs are from Lucknow here in India.

They have a very crispy exterior

and a delicious melt-in-your-mouth interior.

They're typically minced meat,

but this is a vegetarian version.

Let me try this.

Mm.

Oh!

Best one so far.

♪ I'm so full ♪

Next up, chatpata chana Subway.

What a fun name.

Chatpata means full of masala,

zingy flavor, really delicious.

Chana is lentils.

It looks kind of like a dirty diaper,

but I assure you this is going to be absolutely delicious.

Oh, yeah.

That's pretty good.

Now we're on to the nonvegetarian subs,

starting with this one, the Indian chicken tikka.

Looks pretty good.

I just took a mouthful, and there was absolutely no chicken.

Every bite should have a bit of everything.

Chicken kofta.

Kofta is basically meatballs,

and this is chicken-flavored.

You can see the meatballs right there.

Whoa, that's actually really good.

Whoever picked the sauces on this one,

this is the way.

Barbecue, sweet onion, bit of ranch,

a bit of mint mayo.

This is the best sub out of all of them.

I actually think it's the combination of sauces

that makes the sub what it is.

It's leaking flavor.

Peri-peri chicken.

Ever since McDonald's released peri-peri fries

here in India,

there has been a peri-peri revolution over here.

A peri-perevolution, as I like to call it.

Lot of chicken, lot of meat, not a lot of veggies.

What happened here?

Some olives would've been nice.

And finally, this rejected Subway over here

is tandoori tofu, which I refuse to eat on principle

because we also have paneer over here.

It looks pretty much the same, and I'm sure it tastes great.

You know what I realized?

Subways opened up like this

don't really look all that great on camera, do they?

Oh, my God.

This looks like somebody's organs.

US-exclusive sandwiches.

You know what they say?

Greatness is in the agency of others?

Well, I'm here to say greatness is in the agency

of other sandwiches.

I've tried almost none of these.

Starting over down here,

we have something called the mozza meat.

Let's take a look at this, Yuelei.

Oh, I don't think I've ever seen this before.

Look, they even got the little, like,

the fresh mutzarel.

Has what looks to be all the Italian meats.

Oh, by the way, unless otherwise important to the sandwich,

I got everything with lettuce, tomato, and onion

and no sauce unless it includes a sauce. So.

Some mercy on the people who had to wake up

two hours earlier to make these sandwiches.

It's just like, yeah, just put the same junk on all of them.

Moving on.

Supreme meats.

Oh, yeah. This is up my alley.

Salami, the other salami, ham. No turkey though, huh?

Is this capocollo? What is this? Provolone cheese.

This is something that I would probably get at Subway.

The Baja turkey avocado.

Gonna open it up for you here.

Turkey. Oh, yeah, hey, they were generous

with the avocado I think, right?

Going right in the middle.

No big deal.

Moving on.

Honey mustard rotisserie-style chicken.

Oh, yeah.

I like the flavor of that better than the regular chicken.

The all-American club.

Ham, turkey, bacon.

The Baja chicken and bacon.

It was, like, weak.

Even the bacon doesn't have a lot of flavor.

Let's get into the steak.

Baja steak and Jack cheese.

Black Forest ham.

Buffalo chicken.

Oh, yeah, look at that.

Wow, they were generous with the Buffalo sauce.

Chicken bacon ranch.

What does it say if the strongest flavor in this

is the tomatoes?

You guys don't have the cold-cut combo?

That looks like bologna.

Then we have this next one.

Whoa!

The meatball, right?

India, I assure you, this tastes way better than it looks.
