Subway Add's An Inch

Subway Restaurants is apologizing today after a user on Facebook outed their little secret about the famous $5 Footlong Sandwiches. They weren't really a footlong. Australian Matt Corby posted a series of photos on his Facebook that called into question the validity of Subway's claim that his sandwich was a footlong. He took a measuring tape, laid it out on the table and proceeded to point out that it was a mere 11 inches, and not twelve. Only in America right? Well needless to say millions saw the photos as they quickly became viral and Subway was forced to respond. Now they're facing two lawsuits over the incident. Cheaters!

Subway officially responded in a way they thought would calm the masses: Well they aren't really footlongs that's just a catchphrase.

Today they caved and announced that they will ensure every sandwich from now on has that extra inch for your enjoyment. Their full statement:

For 47 years, customer satisfaction has been our top priority. We regret any instance where we did not fully deliver on our promise to our customers. We freshly bake our bread throughout the day in our more than 38,000 restaurants in 100 countries worldwide, and 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.

'Merica.
