Subway Responds to 'Footlong' Lawsuit

Two New Jersey men have sued Subway because they said the sandwiches are not the full advertised foot. Now, Subway says it promises to ensure all subs are in fact 12 inches.

Bensalem residents who like to enjoy a Footlong from Subway can rest assured that the sub will in fact be 12 inches, according to a new pledge from the fast food chain. Earlier this week, news spread of a lawsuit filed by two New Jersey men who said they measured 17 Subway Footlongs and all of them came up short. Subway has responded to the allegations, pledging it will work to ensure all sandwiches are in fact 12 inches. Subway provided the following statement to the Chicago Tribune: "We have redoubled our efforts to ensure consistency and correct length in every sandwich we serve. Our commitment remains steadfast to ensure that every Subway Footlong sandwich is 12 inches at each location worldwide." Local Subway Restaurant Locations:

Subway Sued Over Sandwich Length

Two men from New Jersey have sued Subway because they say the footlong sandwiches measure less than 12 inches.

If you're headed to Subway bring your appetite—and your ruler. That's if you pay as close attention to the size of your sandwich as two New Jersey men, who are suing the fast food chain because they say the advertised footlong sub is just shy of 12 inches. According to NBC 10, the lawsuit was filed this week. The plantiffs, John Farley of Evesham and Charles Noah Pendrack of Ocean City, said they measured 17 Subway footlong sandwiches and all were not quite 12 inches.  The NBC 10 report goes on to say the plantiffs are seeking compensatory damages and a change in Subway's practices. Local Subway Restaurant Locations:   Do you think Subway's footlong sub should actually measure 12 inches? Tell us why in the comments.
