No, No, NO! Not Cosi!

My non-blogging friend Sara (as opposed to my friend Sara who blogs) recently mentioned off hand that Cosi bread is atrociously unhealthy. Not that I go to Cosi often, but every once in awhile I do crave me a nice flatbread sandwich. They give baby carrots on the side, so how bad could it be?

I'm sure you know that questions like, "how bad could it be?" should never be posed because the answer is inevitably "very bad." If you were in my apartment with me when I decided to look up the nutritional information of various Cosi sandwiches, you would stop me, noting, "Ignorance is bliss." Then you would gently pat my hand and we would laugh. So where the fuck were you yesterday afternoon? (I know, I know. I can't really blame anyone for the impending disaster except for myself.)

My favorite Cosi item, the tuna sandwich with excellent cheddar, is nearly one thousand calories. Help me! My eyes are bleeding in horror! (Fortunately, the blood is metaphorical so that I can see to type this.) Dude, if I am going to consume 956 calories and 55 grams of fat from one item, it is going to be from a big, fat slice of cheesecake (the kind with a thin layer of sour cream on top - yum), not a motherfucking tuna sandwich!

This really ruins everything. Pout.

  1. At TGIF, I ordered "low fat" chocolate angel food cake swirl. How bad can that be,right? Low fat AND angel food cake. 500 calories, 10 grams of fat. There is no escape.

  2. I feel the same way about Europa that is the most frequented location I visit when I'm working. I even think that the salad has extra added fat.

  3. Ah, the lox, cream cheese, and cucumber sandwich on marble bread at Europe. Another one of my downfalls.

  4. That is disheartening. Let's boycott.

  5. Cosi's method of cutting back my calories is to forget to bring me my food.
