The habit gets a new name.
People expect food to be food. Not cloth. Not gauze. Not whatever this is.
Hygiene is a trend now. Or at least, it should be.
Somehow, a sandwich became a mystery. A mystery with a flashlight.
It’s not a new trend. It’s just a new way to be gross.

What Was In This Jimmy John’s Sub?
In the comments, many users made their own unusual assumptions.
“That is 3D printed food,” one wrote. “It’s real look it up.”
“They wash and soak their lettuce in bleach btw,” a second said.
“That is a disposable washcloth that got scooped up with the lettuce as it was being chopped,” a third guessed.
Others were just plain disgusted.
Jimmy John’s Customer Receives Unusual Little John
This isn’t the first time a Jimmy John’s customer has ended up feeling less than satisfied with their order.
Back in March, TikTok user Emily (@emilyswiftie1699) showed viewers the Little John sub she received from Jimmy John’s. Usually, as the name implies, Little Johns are meant to be a lighter, 300-calorie snack compared to their usual sub sandwiches.
As she held her sub—which was enveloped in bread and had sparser ingredients—to the camera, she said, “Hey, Jimmy John’s. What is this? Yes, it’s a Little John, but what is this?”
In the video, she also mentioned that she felt the sandwich was too small compared to what she thought she was getting.
Still, shrinkflation is nothing compared to potentially finding what looks like medical-grade gauze in your meal.
