Conquering the Cold Cut: A Braces-Friendly Guide to Subway
Ah, braces. The rite of passage that gives you a killer smile and, for a while, the chewing prowess of a sloth on a sugar crash. But fear not, fellow metal-mouthed marvel! Subway doesn't have to be a danger zone for your orthodontic masterpiece. With a little know-how, you can become a sub-duding ninja, navigating the treacherous terrain of bread and fillings with grace (and minimal bracket breakage).
Gearing Up for Greatness: Choosing Your Weapon (Sandwich)
- Bread is Your Battlefield: Forget the hard baguettes, my friend. Soft Italian or honey oat are your best bets for a pain-free (and bracket-free) experience.
- Meats of Glory: Stick to the sliced meats like turkey, ham, or chicken. Avoid the salami or anything that requires your inner caveman to emerge and rip and tear.
Conquering the Cube: Taking Down That Sub
QuickTip: Don’t rush through examples.
- Divide and Conquer: Don't try to be a hero and take down a whole footlong in one go. Cut that sub in half, or even thirds, for manageable bites.
- The Art of the Side Chew: Forget about chomping straight down. Become a master of the side-to-side chew. Those molars in the back are your new best friends.
- The Fork is Your Friend: Don't be shy! Embrace the fork and knife technique. Elegance and efficiency, all rolled into one.
