A Subway employee\u2019s routine closing-shift video has gone viral online, giving the public a rare look at how the sandwich chain\u2019s iconic bread is made.<\/p>\n
The video, posted with the caption, \u201cPOV: you work a closing shift @subway,\u201d showcases the rhythmical, clattering, and strangely satisfying sounds of restaurant prep and clean-up.<\/p>\n
However, it\u2019s the opening sequence, showing the preparation of the raw bread dough, that has captured the internet\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n
In the clip, the employee is seen throwing long, pale, unbaked sticks of frozen dough onto metal baking trays. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The dough bounces and thuds against the metal with a distinct, loud slap before the trays are slid into a large proofing rack to rise overnight.<\/p>\n
While the video was intended as \u2018ASMR\u2019, a genre of videos meant to induce a relaxing, tingling sensation through repetitive sounds, some fast-food fans were left stunned by the less-than-gentle handling of the frozen loaves.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are so many things wrong in this video I don\u2019t know where to start,\u201d one person commented. <\/p>\n
\u201cBro pls tell me that ain\u2019t the bread,\u201d another wrote in disbelief. <\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s NO WAY that\u2019s the bread,\u201d a third claimed. <\/p>\n
While many were shocked by the reality, others chimed in, claiming everyone else is ignorant for thinking the bread is not made from frozen dough. <\/p>\n
\u201cDo people not understand the process of making bread? It\u2019s frozen bread; it has to rise for ages; they can\u2019t whip up bread in 10 minutes,\u201d one person wrote. <\/p>\n
\u201cPeople not realising that bread is made from dough is insane to me,\u201d a second chimed in.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy is everyone so shocked by frozen dough?\u201d a third questioned. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s frozen dough which doubles in size as it thaws and then gets baked. Can\u2019t get any fresher than that,\u201d another shared. <\/p>\n
However, former Subway workers quickly flooded the comments section to reminisce about their old workplace.<\/p>\n
