After finding itself in the middle of a sub size controversy, Subway is responding with a claim that its famous footlong subs are just a trademark, not reality.
“SUBWAY FOOTLONG” is a registered trademark as a descriptive name for the sub sold in Subway Restaurants and not intended to be a measurement of length,” reads a comment posted to Subway Australia’s Facebook Wednesday.
“The length of the bread baked in the restaurant cannot be assured each and every time as the proofing process may vary slightly each time in the restaurant,” the post from Subway continues.
The post was in response to a debate begun Tuesday in Australia, when a customer, Matt Corby of Perth, posted a photo of an 11-inch “footlong” sub he’d purchased at a local restaurant on Subway Australia’s Facebook page along with the caption, “subway pls respond.”
The photo quickly went viral and sparked countless comments on Subway’s page, including one from Facebook user Sam Matthew who wrote, “So what is Subways official comment on the fact that their footlong a aren’t in fact a foot long??? Do we have the right to get what we ordered? I joined your Eat Fresh Club and all it’s just an excuse to send me advertising, so much for offers?! Now your subs are getting smaller, your prices are going up, you are charging up to $2 for Avo and I’ve gone from a 5 time a week customer to maybe once a month. Sam.”
