Burrito supreme and a chicken supreme and a Cutlass Supreme

When you own a business that is part of a franchise you can do what you want but you must have certain things that are dictated by the company. For example, Subway is a franchise. In South Dakota they have breakfast subs. And they're cheaper than normal subs. Vegetarians can have egg on their vegetarian subs and it's cheaper than getting a vegetarian sub in the afternoon. What a deal. Also, in Chicago and South Dakota they don't have Italian dressing. Instead, they have vinegar and oil. I've also noticed in Chicago that they have fewer options for dressings. This is not a knock on Subways in Chicago. In South Dakota they have shredded cheese. This, according to Aaron, is a better deal because they give you more. They also have cheddar and pepper jack cheese. I'm sure there is a Subway in Michigan that has these cheeses, or more, but it's just something I've noticed comparing Ypsi/Ann Arbor Subways to the few I've visited in other states. They have Pibb Xtra, but that's just a regional thing. (Side note: Mr. Pibb is owned by Coca-Cola. Dr. Pepper is its own solo company. I like Dr. Pepper more.)

Putt-Putt was the same way. Not every Putt-Putt had an arcade room like the one in Ypsi. However, as I understand it, Putt-Putt owners have to pay dues for things like Putt-Putt brand cups to serve pop (or soda in other regions). Sometimes franchising is pretty cool because it's not the same thing everywhere (one thing that bothers me about American cultural expansion), but it can also kind of suck because I really like Italian dressing on my subs.

Burrito supreme.
