The Incredible Collection Of Ingredients Found Inside Subway's Footlong BMT

Subway has been one of America's favorite sandwich shops for nearly 60 years and it's not hard to see why. Founded in 1965 by Fred DeLuca and Dr. Peter Buck, the sandwich chain now operates over 37,000 locations worldwide (via Subway). Part of the fun of ordering a sub from the unofficial submarine sandwich authority is having the freedom to create your own totally unique sandwich. Instead of being restricted to preset menu options like at most restaurants, Subway allows guests to completely modify any order on the menu, either by choosing toppings from their buffet-style sandwich counter or by removing ingredients that don't strike their fancy. 

Despite all the flexibility that Subway allows, most guests probably don't know that the restaurant has a so-called secret menu that in-the-know sandwich lovers can benefit from. Much like the secret menus at other chain restaurants such as McDonalds or Starbucks, the entire menu is the creation of online Subway enthusiasts and isn't officially endorsed by the restaurant. 

To access the secret menu, guests simply need to order a certain combination of ingredients for their sandwich that are said to transform any mundane sub into anything from a breakfast taco to a delicious piece of pizza on a bun. 

If you've ever wondered what would happen if you ordered every single item off of a restaurant's menu, this Subway secret menu item was made for you. Known as the Subway Footlong B.M.T., the sandwich combines (you guessed it) every single item Subway offers on top of one massive sub. 

For those keeping track, the sub includes 9 pieces of bacon, 16 pieces each of assorted meat and cheese of your choosing, every single vegetable Subway carries, sauce, and optional salt and pepper all sandwiched (literally) between two pieces of your favorite Subway bread (via Rather Be Shopping). 

Before you head out to your nearest Subway location to create your very own version of the Footlong B.M.T., be warned that the sandwich might be harder on your pocketbook than you might expect. According to The Sun, the DIY sandwich reported costs a whopping $86! All that meat racks up quite the bill.
