Maybe it's my cultural heritage, but for me a sandwich - at least the one I eat on a regular basis - has to be made from fresh ingredients.
I am not talking about the taste: I am sure you can make anything asymptotically tasteful, but I do not want to eat a sandwich that resists unaltered for weeks.

- lozenge 9y agoWith the volumes they are pushing, there is no chance that a sandwich has been on the shelf for weeks.
- muxator 9y agoMaybe you are being ironic. My point was about chemicals.

- Angostura 9y agoMaybe you're being ironic, but there are few if any preservatives in decent supermarket sarnies. Look at the list of ingredients and the sell-by dates.
- dageshi 9y agoI think most supermarket sandwiches are on the shelves for about 2 days max. On the second day if they've not sold then they cut the price drastically to sell them.

- stevekemp 9y agoYou don't want to eat chemicals? What's next, not wanting to eat atoms?
- ryandrake 9y agoBe sarcastic if you want, but atoms are no joke. Did you know that some most atoms are toxic in their pure form? You'd have to be crazy to try a spoonful of random atoms. While there are plenty of combinations of atoms that can be consumed safely, it's not true for all of them. You need to be very careful about what kinds of atoms you're eating. Also, "atom" is the root of the word "atomic." You know--as in atomic bombs? That alone should help you to reconsider whether you want to eat these things! The above clearly proves that "not wanting to eat atoms" is a perfectly reasonable opinion.
- foldr 9y agoSandwiches in supermarkets generally stay on the shelf for a day or two. They don't contain any preservatives AFAIK (except perhaps in the bread).
- PaulRobinson 9y agoIf you check the ingredients list you'll find they don't use many preservatives because there is little need, and so use of them would just increase costs. The ingredients you've bought and put in the fridge are no more or less likely to use preservatives than the ones that go into a supermarket sandwich. The cost and ability to make it your own in terms of ingredients is a good reason to make your own, but the preservative argument? That doesn't make sense to me.
