Editing Subway (restaurant) (section)

===Sandwich size===
On February 2, 2007, [[KNXV|KNXV-TV]] (with the help of the Arizona Department of Weights and Measures) reported that three of Subway's "Giant Sub" sandwiches, normally each {{convert|3|ft|cm}} long, were actually only {{cvt|81|,|81.9|, and |82.6|cm|ftin|frac=4|order=flip}} long. Under Arizona regulations, objects cannot be more than 3% shorter than their advertised length; a "three-foot" sub must be at least {{convert|2|ft|10.92|in|cm}} long. The report also showed the boxes designed to store these sandwiches were {{convert|2|ft|10+3/4|in|cm}} in length; shorter than the maximum allowable variance. In response to the report, Subway said it was reevaluating its advertising, training, and packaging materials with regard to the specific or implied length of Giant Subs and was advising its franchisees to only discuss with customers the approximate number of expected servings and not a specific length of measurement.<ref>{{cite web |author=Joe Ducey |date=June 26, 2007 |title=Sub-Standard |url=http://www.abc15.com/content/news/investigators/story.aspx?content_id=cf4c217c-1910-4040-9a33-0102fdd135c7 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070818130828/http://www.abc15.com/content/news/investigators/story.aspx?content_id=cf4c217c-1910-4040-9a33-0102fdd135c7 |archive-date=August 18, 2007 |access-date=April 8, 2008 |publisher=[[KNXV-TV]] ([[Phoenix, Arizona]])}} [https://web.archive.org/web/20070820190407/http://consumerist.com/consumer/videos/subways-3-foot-subs-are-shorter-than-3-feet-276511.php Video]</ref>

In January 2013, an Australian teen, Matt Corby, complained on [[Facebook]] that Subway's "footlong" sandwich was only {{convert|11|in|cm}} long, rather than {{convert|1|foot|cm}}. Subway responded by saying, "With regards to the size of the bread and calling it a footlong, '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." [[Discovery (law)|Discovery]] during a subsequent class-action lawsuit revealed that most Subway sandwiches were the advertised length. A $530,000 settlement was thrown out of court in 2017 for being "utterly worthless" to consumers.<ref>{{cite news |title='Worthless' Subway 'Footlong' sandwich settlement is thrown out: U.S. |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-subway-decision-footlong/worthless-subway-footlong-sandwich-settlement-is-thrown-out-u-s-court-idUSKCN1B52H2 |access-date=February 12, 2018 |work=[[Reuters]] |date=August 25, 2017 |archive-date=February 12, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180212142215/https://www.reuters.com/article/us-subway-decision-footlong/worthless-subway-footlong-sandwich-settlement-is-thrown-out-u-s-court-idUSKCN1B52H2 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Subway foot-long settlement 'utterly worthless' to customers, 7th Circuit says|url=http://www.abajournal.com/news/article/subway_foot_long_settlement_utterly_worthless_to_customers_7th_circuit |access-date=12 February 2018 |work=[[ABA Journal]]|date=30 August 2017 |language=en |archive-date=February 12, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180212142140/http://www.abajournal.com/news/article/subway_foot_long_settlement_utterly_worthless_to_customers_7th_circuit |url-status=live}}</ref>
