I Won’t Be Making Any Cracks About The Subway Footlong Fiasco

A friend of mine recently mentioned running across an article about the whole Subway footlong fiasco and asked me when I’d be blogging about it. I just wanted to go on record as saying that I will not be exploiting this particular topic because the jokes are just too easy. They’ve been done and there’s nothing for me to work with.

For those that don’t know, here is an article. I don’t know whether or not this is the article she saw (there are many), but I figure it give you the gist. Surprise, surprise, Subway footlongs may not be exactly 12 inches. Some guy actually sued because his footlong was less than 11 inches (yeah, he actually sued).

But, getting back to the point, there just aren’t any more jokes to make (most of them are pretty simple and crude anyway). I won’t be saying anything like:

- No one is ever telling the truth when they say it’s twelve inches. Why should Subway be any different?

- Give Subway a break! It’s cold!

- Who cares if the footlongs are only 11 inches? Don’t you realize this means that the six inchers are only 5 and 1/2 inches? Man, get your priorities straight. This is the real shocker!

- Footlongs not being actually a foot long? What’s next? A Starbucks grande not being grand ? (I know, it means large even if it doesn’t.) Where will it end?

- I really think it is more of a reflection on the customer if the sandwich doesn’t reach a full twelve inches.

See? It’s all been done and it’s all too easy. I’ll be concentrating on other topics instead. Hope everyone can live with that.
