Does that look like a foot to you? Photo via Flickr user Rusty Clark
A recent class-action lawsuit has ensured that Subway will start selling $5 footlongs that actually measure 12 inches, the Guardian reports. The case of the missing inches began back in 2013, when an Australian boy’s incriminating photo of an 11-inch “footlong” sub went viral.
Eat fresh? More like eat lies. Subway, everyone’s favorite purveyor of cheap, overcompensating sandwiches, promised this week to finally give customers every single inch of food they’ve long been promised.
Subway is making a major change to its sandwiches, all because of a photo that an Australian teen posted to the company’s Facebook page years ago. The photo was posted by Matt Corby. It showed a Subway footlong sub next to a tape measure that indicated the sandwich was only 11 inches long and the caption “Subway pls respond.”
