It's easier if you put it in a blender and drink it.
Compared to Subways, Dagwood's sandwiches had LESS bread and more goodies inside.

Dagwood Goes Into Sandwich Business (2006)
"After building his first skyscraper sandwich in a 1936 Blondie comic strip, Dagwood Bumstead - well, at least the man behind him - is finally making his daydream of venturing into the food business come alive.""The first in a planned chain of "Dagwood's Sandwich Shoppes" is due to open in Clearwater, Fla. in August."
"I have had this idea for 30 or 40 years," said company co-founder Dean Young, 66, who inherited the job of drawing Blondie from his father, creator Chic Young, in 1973.
"In the cartoon strip, Dagwood is a hapless member of the middle class, having landed there after marrying Blondie Boopadoop, a gorgeous flapper that his father - billionaire railroad tycoon J. Bolling Bumstead - disapproved of so heartily that he disinherited Dagwood from his playboy lifestyle."
"After moving into an average neighborhood, Dagwood has toiled well past normal retirement for J.C. Dithers, the tyrannical head of a construction company and a perennial candidate on anybody's list for Bad Boss of the Year."
"In the meantime, the Dagwood sandwich - which appears to contain just about everything out of the Bumstead refrigerator - has become a mainstay of the comic pages and a dictionary entry. As Webster's New World College Dictionary defines Dagwood: "a thick sandwich with a variety of fillings, often of apparently incompatible foods."
"But the chain isn't planning the slapdash approach to sandwiches that Dagwood prefers in his midnight kitchen raids." MORE
