Detected Manipulations & Suggested Changes

Sensationalism

Use of dramatic language to enhance interest in the story.

The article uses phrases like 'Sink your teeth into this bit of stuffed submarine roll history' and 'scarfing down oversize cold cuts sandwiches,' which add a sensationalist tone to the historical account.

Use more neutral language such as 'Explore the history of the submarine roll' and 'eating large sandwiches.'

Unsubstantiated claims

Claims are made without providing evidence or sources.

The article presents various origin stories for the term 'hoagie' without providing substantial evidence or references for these claims, such as the story about an Irish immigrant named Hogan and the account from Al DePalma's daughter.

Provide sources or evidence for the origin stories mentioned, or clarify that these are unverified anecdotes.
