How To Fit More Toppings On Your Subway Sandwich Using A Clever Hack

There is more than one way to slice a bread loaf at Subway, and the way it is cut dictates just how much can fit inside. For the most toppings, request a "V cut" for your bread.

This approach essentially notches a long U or V into the top of the loaf, usually making one long cut then circling back around, and removing the top of the bread.

What's left is more or less a bread boat with a hollowed-out center, ready and able to hold far more toppings than a normally sliced loaf in a much neater way.

Also called the "canoe cut" or "U gouge," the technique was mainstream at Subway shops in the '90s and seems to have been phased out in the years following.
