Unfortunately my original thread was locked because of mischief.

It was based on the following story.

Subway Customers Claim False Advertising for 11-Inch Foot-Long Subs
http://www.delish.com/food/recalls-reviews/subway-sells-11-inch-foot-long-subs Report

Just saw on MSN that there is now a lawsuit over it

    They should sue Subway for false advertising... Their sandwiches hardly qualify for food.

    It's not the size that matters...it's the motion of the ocean. But it takes a long time to get to England in a rowboat...

    Do you really notice that one inch when you're still getting 11inches.

    If they say a foot, it should be a foot but honestly is it worth making a lawsuit over an inch of food that really isn't going to fulfill you that much more? SMH

    Does it really matter that there is 1 inch missing from SOME of the bread that is baked - don't ppl go there for the things in the bread, not the bread itself?

    Only stupid greedy people would sue a company over a baking variance.

    It's gonna be fun to watch subway claim that 'footlong' is a brand name _not_ a unit of measure. Look everyone who goes to subway gets ripped off, I'm glad someone is finally taking them to task.

    BTW I also enjoyed the 'taco filling' thing with taco bell last year :)

    If someone can sue Subway for their sandwich being shorter than advertised and expected, does that mean I can sue my exes?

    I just like the fact that someone called them out on it. Lawsuit or not, it is false advertising. All they need is a little disclaimer saying approximately a foot. I just think it was another way to screw the consumer, they are saying it's the "name" of the sub and not the measurement of the sub. Either way it doesn't matter .... I don't eat that crap.

    PPL are sue happy. I use to bake a lot, everything does not come out exactly the same everytime, especially bread

    This guy explain you are still getting the same amount of ingredients per sandwich

    Best part of this thread!

    Makes you wonder-are they lieing about their 6 inch subs too? Does someone get 6 inches and someone else gets 5? Doesn't seem fair :grumble:
