Subway Ad Serves Up Birdbaths Of Hamburger Grease And Hypocrisy

Subway's "Eat Fresh" campaign is all very well and good, but fast food is fast food. Sure, you can order a six-inch turkey sub loaded with vegetables and no cheese or mayo with a side of apple slices. Or you can get a footlong tuna salad sub that has more fat than a Big Mac and fries. Which do most customers choose? Yet Subway's latest ad slams burger chains for the unhealthiness of their food, showing kiddie pools full of burger grease. More »

Is A Footlong Sub Still A Footlong Sub With Only 6" Of Bread?

Ron has a problem that truly speaks to the dilemmas of our day. He wants to get a $5 footlong at Subway, but on a 6" roll to save carbs and calories. The sandwich artists at his local Subway insist that this is not possible, and that he needs to pay more than the price of a $5 footlong because he is really ordering a six-inch sub with double meat. It's an exquisite kind of fast-food logic where you pay more and get less. More »
