That doesn't mean they're not right-thinking. There's marketing value here, like successful movie titles having three words. There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in copyediting philosophy; maximizing sandwich sales is more important to Subway than a quasi-redundancy "gotcha."Tahoe Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18245563650106285326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122549.post-56473336744216388962008-07-30T19:38:00.000-04:002008-07-30T19:38:00.000-04:00Terms can overlap, but for right-thinking people f...Terms can overlap, but for right-thinking people frankfurter + bun = hot dog.

A sign advertising Reuben at such an establishment may have people believing it is made with another product, especially considering they just recently had a pastrami sandwich available. As "tahoe editor" said, a Reuben can be made with that particular meat, as well as turkey in many areas.Sam Egglestonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16645184042803125875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122549.post-13957087315282427312008-07-14T15:15:00.000-04:002008-07-14T15:15:00.000-04:00What about Lean Cuisine's "panini sandwiches"?What about Lean Cuisine's "panini sandwiches"?Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06227626898934746695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122549.post-8214829973118987892008-07-11T12:53:00.000-04:002008-07-11T12:53:00.000-04:00I agree.

There are also a few variations of vegetarian Reuben, but those are "vegetarian Reubens."<BR/><BR/>I also agree regarding the stink of Subway restaurants. How can anyone make the baking of bread smell bad? But they manage to. I walk past a Subway kiosk every night at the bus terminus and the baking smells like rancid margarine.
