ARE SUBWAY FOOT-LONGS A FOOT LONG

Food Travel USA with Elizabeth Dougherty
Album: The TRUTH About Food and Travel 
Episode #: 
Original Broadcast Date: 01/22/2013

In 2013, an Australian teenager posted this picture and a story online that his “Foot Long” sandwich from Subway wasn’t actually 12″ long.

So having a curiosity about such things (and the fact that we were hungry) we jumped into action!

We spoke with noted Tampa Bay attorney Joseph F, Pippen (himself a foot long customer) about a possible class-action lawsuit against Subway.  On the way to the radio station for the broadcast, we stopped at a local Subway restaurant and purchased a sub to measure it for ourselves.

OUR VERDICT

Subway agreed that the length of the sandwiches should be the same as advertised and settled with the 10 original plaintiffs. That prompted an appeal.

So where do we stand today in 2021?

We’ll have to stop for a sandwich for a proper follow up.

FOOD TRAVEL USA FAST FACTS

About the Show

Using the chassis of a food and travel show, Elizabeth Dougherty has carved out her own lane in Talk Radio, covering the contamination of the food supply and the travel restrictions placed upon us by an overreaching government. The show also covers data protection, self-sufficiency, and homesteading-related topics to help protect us from this evil, corrupt system. With Elizabeth as the host, the show has a very different sound from the typical male-oriented talk radio. In combination with terrestrial stations that carry the show, we reach people who don’t normally listen to politically-driven talk radio. In addition to the LIVE FEED of the show on Saturday afternoons from 5pm–7pm (Eastern) / 2pm–4pm (Pacific), we produce and distribute a dozen podcast segments each week.
