Do you folks think the cucumber story is bad? Check this one about cheese - they are changing the way they spread the cheese in the U.S., based on experiences from Subway NZ/AU: http://consumerist.com/2010/05/subway-to-start-tessellating-cheese-july-1.html

raab: Cucumbers are disgusting anyway, I hope they get diseased and die out completely.

Quoted for truth.

Not only do they taste like compelte arse, but they leave a residue which taints your food if you pull them out of a sandwich they come in.

Your opinion is wrong. Cucumbers are great!

Just had tea at the local Subway and the girls there were saying the first they heard of it all was when it was on the radio. Seems there is no shortage in the South.

That's nothing. I recall some years ago the front page headline panic was that the monthly banana boat had broken down, and the country was facing a banana shortage. Oh No!

If they made the slices 2/3 the thickness they could use the same number of slices! And we wouldn't think / realise that we were being ripped off!

A man walks into a doctor's office. He has a cucumber up his nose, a carrot in his left ear and a banana in his right ear. "What's the matter with me?" he asks the doctor. The doctor replies, "You're not eating properly."

A While ago Burger Fuel ran out of Kumara's - that was in the news as well. I think outlets are definitely a part of our lives and we do need to know whats happening in and around.

I went back into Subway again today, admittedly mainly to see what they did. I got 6 slices on my sub, as did the two people in front of me.

I expect that it's a bigger problem in the cities, which will of course have many more customers - and therefore more outgoing cucumbers - than here in Whakatane.

Whilst I share your dislike of Cucumber, i must point out that only pre-abused cucumbers will taste like arse.

Non-abused cucumbers will still taste like cucmber.

Went into Subway here in Christchurch and the signs were up, but the staff still seemed to be a bit blaazay about the whole crisis, there was another sign say they were also experiencing turkey shortages and your turkey order would be replaced with roast beef.

The Apocalypse is near people, this is just the start of much worse things to come.
