When a Foot’s a Not Foot

You may have heard of the Sub-Zero kitchen appliances, and sub 4, the under four minute mile, but lately Subway’s foot-long sandwiches have been discovered to be, well sub-foot. As a result there seems to be trouble a-foot. Subway Sandwiches is being sued because they don't seem to measure up to a couple of customers' expectations. Two people seem to have a beef about the buns they have and accuse the franchise of leaving them with shortbread. It may sound like a lot of baloney and perhaps someone is just trying to ham it up but lettuce take a moment to spread the facts. The two New Jersey men have hired a lawyer to sue Subway because in 17 stores they tested, the bread for their "$5 foot-long" sandwich meal did not measure exactly 12 inches and routinely was at least a half an inch short. Their attorney pointed to MacDonald's advertising that their quarter pound hamburger is weighed as a quarter pound before cooking and want Subway to be similarly honest as to what lengths they go too to produce their "foot-long" bread. (Could it be their loaves ARE 12 inches before baking?) They say some honesty in advertising is kneaded.

Accordingly, the attorney intends to garnish up a class-action law suit that may leave Subway owners in a pickle. Maybe the company will send some hot tomato over to offer them an olive branch instead of having to appear in front of some crusty old judge. So far Subway hasn't commented so maybe they're trying to ketchup to the facts. Hopefully, Subway bakers will rise to the occasion and take the bake. We've all heard of frivolous law suits and this one seems pretty cheesy. Personally, I think they're in it for the dough.
