Subway’s Amazingly Stupid Response To Footlong Controversy
It’s begging for legal action.
Perth, Australia, teenager Matt Corby is reported to have been the first person to post an image of a less-than-a-foot-long Subway Footlong (above).
Via Subway Australia’s official Facebook page.
THIS:
“With regards to the size of the bread and calling it a footlong, “SUBWAY FOOTLONG” is a registered trademark as a descriptive name for the sub sold in Subway® Restaurants and not intended to be a measurement of length.”
That’s not what their advertising suggests. See below.

littleBIGstormy 4 months agoI work at Subway. If I had a single dollar for every time I have been asked if I have heard about this guy measuring his sandwich I would have enough money to put my future children through college several times.

Fred Gehelmiholtzenstein 4 months agoI once asked the Subway employee to make me a sandwich that looked like the one on their bags/in their ads/in the graphics on their walls. They refused, and so did the manager. They have rules about meat and cheese, rules which evidently don’t apply to the sandwiches they photograph. I’ve written them off. Bait and switch.

Subway could of his it better though like
“Congratulations you found the 11 inch sub!
You get a free footlong!” And they better
Make sure it’s a footlong the next time,
What kind of masochistic person, tortures
Them selves and thinks “hey, before I eat
This sub imma go find a tape measure and
Measure it, cause you know, I can wait to
Eat it, it ain’t that good” -

When i get a bagel in the morning for breakfast sometimes its a littke smaller than other mornings. but it still costs the same. im sure the hero at your local deli isnt always the same length either. as a previous comment said. its only one inch…..get over it

Is a six inch sub not really six inches either? My whole world is upside down. Black is white. Or maybe it’s just almost black?
