Subway will start making its sandwiches bigger after a lawsuit claiming the chain's footlong sandwiches are shorter than advertised, according to a settlement proposal announced Monday. Subway came under fire two years ago when a photo went viral online showing a footlong sub next to a tape measure that showed the bun was actually 11 inches. The photo prompted a class-action lawsuit from Subway consumers who said they were cheated out of an inch of their sandwiches.
Subway has now agreed to start requiring franchisees to measure the bread they serve to ensure that footlong subs are 12 inches and 6-inch subs are no less than 6 inches, according to the settlement agreement. Nation's Restaurant News first reported on the settlement. Subway has also agreed to start compliance inspections to make sure restaurants are adhering to the new rules, according to the agreement. The restaurant chain will edit its training materials and franchisee protocols, "which had previously allowed for a small tolerance in the size of a footlong sandwich," to require that a footlong must be at least 12 inches.
A hearing for final approval of the settlement is scheduled for January, according to Subway.

I wish I coulda remembered without looking it up so I coulda pinged the FReeper who is ALWAYS ragging on Mark over that inch. I enjoy Mark’s show, greatly... but he shoulda tossed the republican party as a whole in the dumpster by now.
We like Jersey Mike’s.
We eat at Subway a few times a year. The missing ‘inch’ is not missed............................
They’ve always been made in France.
Yeah he’s such a fraud. Nothing but an entertainer.
The national GOP is a sham and the sooner we can admit that the better.
Yeah! Where’s my wood?!!?!?!?!?!?............
I’ve started going back to Arby’s. They have several new sammices that are very good! My favorite is Chicken/Bacon/Swill. A lot better than a Sub.
“Heck with the roll. Put more ingredients in the sandwich, mainly meat.”
Years ago they could make a cheese sub. Now they can’t even put on a couple whole slices of cheese. Bread, shredded head lettuce and a few pieces of white processed cheese. Crap.
Being in construction for years as an electrician I noticed that the steel stud is becoming more prevalent than before, especially in commercial construction.
“And walking down a line like a seven-year-old at school got old really fast.”
LOL
My family started going back to Chick-Fil-A!
And that $100,000,000 Lotto Jackpot. Only if you are willing to take small payments over 30 years.
Well then screwez la France. Their lighters suck.
Huh—never heard of them. I see they’re not up my way (yet).
What, are they going to make them edible?
