Subway argued in court that “Footlong” is a trademarked brand, and does not mean it’s 12 inches. Then they argued that the average consumer would KNOW this, and not be confused by these terms.
Footlong is a subway branded term for their bigger sub. Foot long is a generic term that means one foot long.
Yes, that’s real. I’m not joking. They legitimately did this. Just like Fox News argued in court that their station is NOT a news network. It is an entertainment network, presenting purely opinion based stories. As such, they have ZERO obligation for their stories to contain even a shred of truth or fact to their stories. And “Fox News” is a branded term, not relating to, or presenting factual news reports.
On a related note, would anyone like to buy “Bigger Penis Pills”? I mean, it’s just condensed sugar in tablet form. But I’ve branded it as “Bigger Penis Pills”, and selling it for $100 per pill.
Good, fuck Subway, and that’s even considering I used to work for them, in security camera maintenance, before this whole AI/enshittification era though…
In Finland there’s a product called “Meter pizza” that’s about 60 cm long, but then there’s also a “centimeter pizza” that’s way longer than a centimeter.
subway footlongs are indeed $20 on the high end in major metro areas.
Also, make sure to bring your tape measure, shrinkflation is all too real…

Didnt fox news have to change their name to fox entertainment?
Fox News Entertainment I thought
A group of business and law school people got paid to peddle that bullshit.
It’s part of how our own money is used against us.
Okay, Subway trademarked the footlong, then they cut it in half if you order a 6 inch…
Did they fucking trademark the size of an inch too?
No. That was one of the things being sued over.
