What do we want? Big bottles. When do we want them? Now. Could it be that the era of the Ziploc bag with all your liquids is coming to an end? Maybe!

Are you adventurous? Do you like sandwiches? If your answer is yes to both, you’re going to love Subway’s latest challenge. The company is daring people to ride the world’s first dip ‘n slides.

That means you can go down a 37-foot-high slide and sloosh through a “lavash flatbread tunnel” to wind up in one of three different sauces: Baja chipotle, peppercorn ranch, and honey mustard.
