- "Subway is to sandiches what Dunkin' is to doughnuts. So why are both chains exploring - Pizza?"
- "It's because fast foodies find it tough to resist sticking a gooey finger in the $28.5 billion pizza industry at a time when the pie biggies - Pizza Hut, Domino's and Papa Johns - have seen growth stall."

- That's "fast food + ie", not "fast + foodie". A fast-food company. Equinox ◑ 23:50, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
