This has to be one of the silliest issues of all time.

Do they advertise it as a 30.5cm sandwich in Europe? Enquiring minds want to know.

Too much time on their hands.

They probably just reduced the width of the sandwich.

I wonder if the MSM can be sued for leaving out relevant news coverage?

Let a woman measure next time.

Agree with #1. There have been footllong hot dogs since I was a child in the 50´s. I don´t recall advertising them as such ever being challenged. It is a catchy term of description not a contract.

So give everyone a coupon for another sandwich on the house while serving slightly bigger sandwiches.

If anything the new sandwiches could be slightly BIGGER than 12 inches.

ADVERTISING bonanza to follow

We ought to start calling 0bama President Subway; he consistently comes up short.

Wonderful. Now I have to wait an extra 10 minutes while the food preparer gets the tape out. Or will they go hi tech and use a laser.

More bread, less meat.

Add up one inch of meat filling times every sandwich..in every store for many years..equals millions of dollars saved by the stores.
Just think of filling your gas tank..suppose each gallon was 1 ounce short?
hmmmmm?

There must be a reason that some people are fixated on size. Compensation?

There´s a great joke that I can´t tell you here ....except to say that the punch line is:
"Still, I don´t use it as a rule."

Easier to stretch the bread than come up with a new jingle....$5 dollar 11 & 1/2 long....

These two doofuses sued over a 1/2 inch less bread.

The world is falling apart a & a dem worries about a non 12 inch sub....while repubs are busy working....

Doesn´t matter how long their sandwiches are, they are crap. Probably the worst sandwich chain in the country. Their sandwich bread tastes like it was made with chalk instead of flour. If you want a quality chain sandwich, go to Quiznos or Jersey Mike´s.


Girl´s Hubby

Penn Station makes the best subs I have ever tasted.....

Can I sue these characters for wasting taxpayer money and court time? Can I sue the judge for allowing the suit?

And are these guys just starting a cottage industry of suing over every ad slogan?

#2: No. The Euro-wiches are 305 millimeters. Huge, I tell ya!

#8: They´re being test-marketed here. I got one that was 12 and 7/64ths long! I´m gonna sue over the unasked-for extra bread because it puts me at risk for obesity!

#12: Sorry, not comparable. "Foot-long" is clearly an ad slogan. Gasoline is sold by state-regulated volume, to the point where [most? all?] states do calibration checks on gas pumps and apply stickers to them. But all is not lost. Buy a gallon of gas at the hottest time of the hottest day, then measure it again on a really cold day. It might be possible to prove a short-volume of a couple milliliters.

#15: Say -- maybe Subway should counter-sue, saying the $5 bill tendered in payment has less buying-power than a year ago, or two, etc.

#6, meet #14. #14, meet #6.

Disagree, #17, I´ve never gotten a bad Subway sandwich; but I think it depends on how you tell them to make your sandwich. Many times I see customers give their order then walk on to the register--as I watch and see the sandwich maker not fulfill what the person before me just requested. I wait to see until my sandwich is made to my liking then proceed to the register.

I like the Veggie delight on honey oat bread, toasted, with one squirt of lo-fat mayo, ranch dressing, mustard, and vinegar. Yum!

I don´t know what Subway bread tastes like but it sure smells bad when it´s cooking.

Now they will be sued for making people fatter.

Not quite big enough for you? Age old problem. Subway won´t solve it.

Oh gosh, another issue for Mayor Bloomjerk to exploit. Ban any sandwich over 12 inches as anything larger may causes excess weight gain.....

I put this in the class of the old Chesterfield "A silly millimeter longer" and the Winston "It´s not how long you make it, it´s how you make it long." slogans. Unimportant.

Anyone who shops there DESERVES what they get!

People should be BOYCOTTING Subway like I do ......... the owner gave money to Great Leader´s campaign.

Is it me, or do people just keep getting less intelligent, "measurably", as the days go on?

Look at the freaking photograph, let´s start from the top, call it #1, counting up pictures, only the ones with rulers..

#1, the bun is obviously squished together. Look at the left half, between 7 and 8 inches mark.

#2, some brain dead idiot is trying to convince us that the left part of the sandwich is aligned with the starting point of the ruler by using a gum box. However, the bun overlaps the box by a good 1/2 " or more. Not even considering the sandwich has a bite out of it, which would have probably compressed that half.

#3 Here, measurements start at 1/2", and end at 12 1/2", looks like a foot to me.

#4, marginal, looks like sandwich to me is not fresh, as in been refrigerated, which can cause compression.

#5 Starting the measurement at least at 1/2 inch, ended at 12 1/2, that makes a foot..

People are jerks. I´ve got an idea for these plaintiffs. Make a bar of nothing but pure chocolate, nothing added, no sugar or milk, and force it down their throats. There you go, something that is 100% as advertised.

Anyone who has accidentally bit into unsweetened chocolate knows what I mean....

I seriously doubt the extra length of the bread makes the sandwich taste any better. A silly issue. I suppose people will now grouse when they raise the cost of the sandwich by five percent.

Probably prebaked size. I will eat buy subway if the owner gave to Obama and I will buy Papa Johns/Whole Foods after the owners criticized.

Newsflash:Men lie about size

With all undue respect, in my opinion of course, post #27 has to be the dumbest post I have ever read.

This is a slippery slope. Next they may be sued for making it a little longer than twelve inches. They should change their advertising to "roughly a foot long".

This reminds me of a big box of cereal that´s only half full and there´s a disclaimer that contents may have settled during shipment.

Yeah, the bread is the issue? What about the skimpy filling inside?
