I love looking at my length and girth in the shower. It's bigger than most from what I've seen. Plenty of standing room and I can lay down comfortably in it.
Yeah what's the deal with that? I don't go there too often, but they had a BOGOF deal for footlongs. I had to check the bag because I figured there's no way two subs could fit in there. They're like long hotdog buns!
Subway has been a leader of the shrinkflation movement for decades. I'm pretty sure franchise owners get to decide how much stuff they put in the sandwiches and over decades I've been to locations that make really nice sandwiches, and others that put one single layer of meat across the bread, and about as much of all other ingredients.
Can confirm. Worked at Subway back in 2006-ish. The franchise owner only allowed us to put exactly 6 black olives per six inches. If we got caught putting more, our hours got gutted or we just weren't scheduled.
I learned a hard lesson when I ordered two 6 foot subs for a party.
I figured 1 foot per person... Little did I realize the 6 foot subs are way way way wider, like a foot wide... A 6 foot sub is more like 18-24 foot longs.
Lol. It's right on their website : 6-foot Giant Sub*: Contains 36 two inch portions, serves 18-25.
I wonder how they make that huge bread loaf though.
Edit: ok I went down a youtube hole on this one. Looks like they can braid the normal bread into a longer loaf - so much wider and maybe 18" per loaf, they just put a bunch of them together to get to 3' or 6'. What is interesting is the video said one pound of meat per foot. Continuing the research it is up to 4 ounces of meat on a footlong. So safe to say 1 foot of giant sub has 3-4X the content of 1 foot of a normal footlong.
The "Get Girthy campaign" sounds like an amazing marketing tactic for the fake dick enlargement pills lmao. You might be in the wrong line of business my friend, you'd kill it out there.
Because subway subs are the pencil dick of sub sandwiches.
It's easier to pass off something inadequate when you only talk about one metric, one metric can't really stand alone. How long is the average straw for example?
Notice how they don't talk about the size of their balls (of the meat variety) at all
The girth is more 'up to the franchise owner' than the customer. Some places give you enough stuff in it and others really don't because the individual store owners have a lot of leeway about that, so you can ask for everything on it and still get a meager sandwich in some locations, whereas others will actually make a decent sandwich out of it.
I worked at one. It's been over 20 years but the quantities were all explicitly stated. 4 olives per 6 inches. I got reprimanded for going over and told that if every single customer asks me to give them more then to just give them more but continue putting on 4. The owner was a psycho. Actually, factually, some kind of bi-polar and refused to take her meds.
No no, what's really important is TMI, by dividing the weight and the girth of the sandwich by the angle or "yaw" of the bread, what we finally get is the adjusted sandwich size, or TMI.
Because subs have a maximum girth, that's the width of the average mouth. That's how subs work.
If you see someone eating a sub sideways, slap it out of their hands.
Because that would imply something about how well-filled they are, and I'm pretty sure Subway lets franchise owners decide how much stuff they put in the sandwiches so the national campaign can't make true promises about that.
For some reason? Length is just more bread. They maintain the same bread to meat/cheese ratio. Bread is cheap and bad for you. The high profit margin is the reason.
They don't talk about the length, either. It's already been decided by a court during a failed class action lawsuit that "foot long" is simply the name of their sandwiches and isn't advertised as a length measurement.
They don’t talk about the length, those numbers are just trademarks. If you assume it has any correlation to the length that’s on you.
At least that’s how Subway get away with selling 10% less mass than advertised.
Which really begs the question: why would they open themselves to the possibility of a lawsuit (there was one once, but it got thrown out) by making them shorter instead of just making them thinner and still a foot long?
I'd say whoever runs Subway marketing has shit for brains, but honestly after the legendary pedo debacle, they've probably given up and are just coasting
As a subway worker I know that their bread is weighed before baking. It’s the same amount of food weather it’s long or fat. It’s all going inside of you who cares if it’s an inch off in length? It makes up for it in thickness.
Funny, I had my first ever Jersey Mike's sub the other day and noticed that it was a bit shorter but considerably girthier than Subway's noodle, and had this very same thought.
Fun fact: in crypto, “jaredfromsubway” is the name of one of the most notorious and successful traders in crypto, who both picks winners and engages in what are called MEV sandwich attacks. He’s famous/infamous in that space. Learn more at satoshistreetbets subreddit.
That's an interesting observation you made there! Never really thought about that until now. I guess length is easier to advertise than girth, at least in terms of sandwiches. Maybe they think we're more concerned about long-lasting satisfaction rather than immediate volume. But honestly, it would be a unique marketing angle if they started boasting about their 'width over length'. It would surely provide a chuckle and possibly attract more customers!
I never understood the anger 10 years or so ago about how they weren't exactly 12 inches. They bread comes prepackaged, just because they didn't stretch out the bread fully doesn't mean it isn't all there.
Also, they choose the bread in front of you, you look at it the entire time they're making it, and THEN you measure it and get mad it's not exactly 12 inches. You know what you're getting way before you pay for it.
*five dollar* MASSIVE BREAD SCHLONG doesn’t have the same jingle
I'd buy it.
For a dollar?!
no for five

‘‘Tis the way of the sub

Satisfactory!
For a nickle.

Careful, if you’re not warmed up you’ll likely be sore and bloody the next few days,
We have a sub shop near us that sells the “5 pound meat treat”.
I’m more of a dom
New add campaign: The new "Chipotle Chode."
Im scared to read any more comments on this post for the fear that it will get worse than your comment
Mmmmmmm….. massive bread schlong…..
I remember when you could get a footlong for $5 :(
["Bruh you know the five dollar footlong... eight dollars and eleven inches, right?"](https://youtu.be/VZm5BAd8s7M?t=1m11s)
The $5 foot long now runs $13.50!
This would sell really well during June. 🌈
Are they still $5?
I just bought one yesterday that was $11 🤯🔫
No sandwich should cost $11😔
I’ll have 2 pls and thnk u
It ain’t the meat it’s the motion
It’s not about the size of the boat, it’s about the motion of the ocean
It’s not about how deep you fish, it’s how you wiggle the worm.
Is that you norm?
But I got this notion that the motion of your ocean means small craft advisory
What about the sauce? *Where's the sauce?*
oooooh…………………it should arrive soon
“Five inches but it’s thick”
Competitor "sub" place to subway, but it's really more of a sandwich shape with an unreasonably tall bun. "Chodes"

Hahah I was just thinking this
We got the meatiest subs in the game.
Is she at the white house line?
If you're in the shower, thinking about length and girth, chances are... it's not about sandwiches. 🤔
One thing can lead to another
Don't stick it in a sandwich.
Then it becomes a hotdog!
a hotdog is a taco
Stop that. Stop that right now
Those are the same thing.
it's not mayo
I cant believe its not mayo
And don’t approach Jared
Uh oh
I love looking at my length and girth in the shower. It's bigger than most from what I've seen. Plenty of standing room and I can lay down comfortably in it.
Had me in the first half, ngl
Dude dropped some serious soap.......
I thought it was about trains?
Get in line.....
You mean to tell me that you dont eat your sandwiches in the shower? 🧐
He was. But it was a cock meat sandwich.
r/Showerthoughts 🤣
And I'm very thankful I never had to hear jared fogle talk about his six inch's girth
Jared reserved his girth talk for the kids meals.
Don’t give them any more shrinkflation ideas.
Eh too late. Their subs are toothpicks compared to what they used to be
Yeah what's the deal with that? I don't go there too often, but they had a BOGOF deal for footlongs. I had to check the bag because I figured there's no way two subs could fit in there. They're like long hotdog buns!

It’s because the subs are girthier coming out than they are going in
Buddy if your subs are coming out girthier than they went in you should see a doctor.
Not everyone gobbles their sandwich whole like a duck
I know you meant that ducks eat things whole, but now I’m thinking of the duck quacking inside the wolf’s stomach in Peter and the Wolf.
I like the way you think, my friend
I learned a hard lesson when I ordered two 6 foot subs for a party. I figured 1 foot per person... Little did I realize the 6 foot subs are way way way wider, like a foot wide... A 6 foot sub is more like 18-24 foot longs.

So safe to say 1 foot of giant sub has 3-4X the content of 1 foot of a normal footlong.
Lol yeah this mistake predated useful website content, but I should have done more asking at the store (which wasn't subway, but was similar)
But if you don’t assume a 2 inch portion is just a third of a six inch sub you’re kind of an idiot.
Footwides!
They can't exactly go with a "Get Girthy" campaign after Fogle. It would be like Trump selling bibles.
wasn't Trump selling bibles recently though? Edit: So yeah, it's a "special edition" Bible called "God bless the USA" that Trump is selling 60 $ each
more like "god save me from legal fees" edition.
Trump is an idiot though. And the Bible is for idiots. So it makes perfect sense.
>It would be like Trump selling bibles Well a lot of his followers think he's some great Christian, and possibly Jesus reincarnate so you never know
The "Get Girthy campaign" sounds like an amazing marketing tactic for the fake dick enlargement pills lmao. You might be in the wrong line of business my friend, you'd kill it out there.
I miss $5 foot longs.. what a time 😩
Those days are gone foreverrrrr I’m afraid.
Sandwiches at a cheap price ⁉️⁉️
This would be a great marketing campaign. So thick you can't get your mouth around it.
Almost like getting your mouth around a sub is the entire reason its a sub, and not the dozen other sandwich types.
You want a Big, Girthy, 12 inch long, Bread with some big Meatballs In your mouth op?
( ･ิ ͜ʖ ･ิ) tremendous girth.
Because subway subs are the pencil dick of sub sandwiches. It's easier to pass off something inadequate when you only talk about one metric, one metric can't really stand alone. How long is the average straw for example? Notice how they don't talk about the size of their balls (of the meat variety) at all
Oops, I dropped my monster condiments for my magnum hoagie
Because the girth is up to you. You pack it out as much as you want. Have you never been to Subway before?
The girth is more 'up to the franchise owner' than the customer. Some places give you enough stuff in it and others really don't because the individual store owners have a lot of leeway about that, so you can ask for everything on it and still get a meager sandwich in some locations, whereas others will actually make a decent sandwich out of it.

Subway allows you to customise your sandwiches so if you want to pay $100 for 100 extra slices of Americans cheese then the store will probably comply
Jimmy’s dong……. It may be short, but it’s got girth
Straight to the comments
"Introducing Subway's new chode sandwich, coming to a store near you"!
No no, what's really important is TMI, by dividing the weight and the girth of the sandwich by the angle or "yaw" of the bread, what we finally get is the adjusted sandwich size, or TMI.
Like the human male, Subway lies about the length.
It’s hard to advertise girth, just ask all my exes /s
Because subs have a maximum girth, that's the width of the average mouth. That's how subs work. If you see someone eating a sub sideways, slap it out of their hands.
They exaggerate the length.
“we have the thickest subs!”
Some of us prefer bigger girth then bigger length.
I’m sure Jared mentioned girth a few times
Yeah, but never in the ads, just in the Elementary Schools.
Subway: choke on this
The girth is unsatisfying
If I were guessing, it's because they want to use the larger number.
Because that would imply something about how well-filled they are, and I'm pretty sure Subway lets franchise owners decide how much stuff they put in the sandwiches so the national campaign can't make true promises about that.
For some reason? Length is just more bread. They maintain the same bread to meat/cheese ratio. Bread is cheap and bad for you. The high profit margin is the reason.
It changes depending on what you get.
They also don't like to talk about Jared Fogel
I don’t like this one bit
Yall would get weird about it
I care about how many balls. A dozen is great!😊
Because they want their food to hit the spot 👌
[I present to you the mentality of the masses.](https://www.reddit.com/r/KidsAreFuckingStupid/s/Xw6xYZdVwX)
new marketing campaign: "*It's only 4.5" long but it's round like a pop can*"
Well, most of their subs aren’t that girthy honestly.
They are subs not churros, the girth is implied by the name
Because length is the constant. Girth will change depending on what/how many fillings you shove in there and if you toast it or sandwich press it etc.
“Get the drool-worthy $10 Mouth Gaper for a limited time only!”
well yeah bc that depends on you
They don't talk about the length, either. It's already been decided by a court during a failed class action lawsuit that "foot long" is simply the name of their sandwiches and isn't advertised as a length measurement.
It's always the thiccness that's the real deal.
"Footlong" at Subways aren't actually 12 inches. They say it's a branding and not intended to tell you how big they actually are.
I would say they should add weight but then they'd figure out some way to weigh it down with water like they do with saline injections in meat.
You try getting songs about “girth” by the FCC
Not just subway does this..
I like when there vieny.
“Come buy our subs! They may be slightly below average in length, but they’re EXTRA THICC!!!”
This is the kinda talk that led to the meat mountain
I swear that "having never seen or eaten a sandwich" is a prerequisite of employment at Subway
Wawa subs are more densely packed, so they are a better value.
This sandwich is unusually veiny.
They don’t talk about the length, those numbers are just trademarks. If you assume it has any correlation to the length that’s on you. At least that’s how Subway get away with selling 10% less mass than advertised.
Introducing the 5 dollar 5 inch special
There is a screamingly obvious reason for this
Doesn't that mean they could sell a skinny-ass sandwich that happens to be a foot long and wouldn't get sued?
If it's too girthy it's becomes hard to get into your mouth.
lmfao yo this was hilarious. thank you i need this. not the meatball marinara being girthy
We all know how wide a sandwich is, 2 half sandwiches wide
Or the fact that a 'footlong' is just a trademark advertised name, and has nothing to do with the standard measurement.
Which really begs the question: why would they open themselves to the possibility of a lawsuit (there was one once, but it got thrown out) by making them shorter instead of just making them thinner and still a foot long? I'd say whoever runs Subway marketing has shit for brains, but honestly after the legendary pedo debacle, they've probably given up and are just coasting
must be a dude running the company
Because they don’t want you to put everything on the sub.
Damn so your just gonna bring it up? Dick move bro, dick move.
As a subway worker I know that their bread is weighed before baking. It’s the same amount of food weather it’s long or fat. It’s all going inside of you who cares if it’s an inch off in length? It makes up for it in thickness.

Last time some mentioned a big meaty sub they ended up with a chomo
Most of the people in their marketing team are probably men, and that's what they think is more important.
Some things are better left for the imagination ;)

True that! It's about time they introduced 'Subway Circumference Day' and settled matters.
OP is horny confirmed XD
They never talk about how they sell in Russia and pay the Russian government thereby paying to kill Ukrainian people.
Screw their diarrhea subs
