Subway, a well-known sandwich shop, is a popular business, especially here in Madison, Alabama. Many students stop for a sandwich at the shop on Hughes Road after a long day at school and after their practice or games.

Subway is known for its most famous type of sandwich, the footlong. Subway advertises the $5 foot-long.  They even have jingles about it. 

Just recently Fox40, a website with updated news stories, posted a story by Sam Cohen on a lawsuit against Subway, claiming that footlongs are not actually 12 inches long. Cohen stated, “The lawsuit filed in Chicago is seeking $5 million.”

“I think the Footlong is actually 12 inches long,” a Subway employee at the Hughes Road location replied. “I don’t think it is falsely advertised, either.”

Many customers still enjoy Subway’s Footlongs regardless of its actual measurements.
