Subway, the popular sandwich chain, faced criticism after a sign at one of its Georgia stores appeared to make light of the tragic implosion of the Titan submersible. The Titan submersible, which was descending to the ocean floor to view the wreckage of the Titanic, suffered a catastrophic implosion resulting in the death of all five people onboard. The sign at the Subway restaurant in Rincon, Georgia, read “Our subs don’t implode,” drawing backlash for its insensitivity. Subway has since removed the sign and issued a statement expressing disapproval of the comment.

Clever. But a bit insensitive given the recent incident.
Saw that. I don’t give a damn.
That was pretty good.
Only those that are offended decided it was the crappy homemade sub they were referencing. It was never actually mentioned
Shows you what a piece of crap that sun was. Don’t even have to name it. Just mention the word implosion = crappy Home Depot sub
Lol
Our subs will sink to the pit of your stomach
Our subs will sink to the pit of your stomach
“Our subs will sink to the pit of your stomach.”
That’s better than “Our subs will come back up”.
Yes it is in bad taste ...
I thought it was funny.
I agree. In bad taste. Still, their subs suck too.
I don’t buy Subway subs, but the “joke” was in poor taste.
Whatever. Subway isn’t worth the price they charge.
Especially when it’s not difficult to make a good sub at home.

Especially when it’s not difficult to make a good sub at home. For a lot less.
Stupid but not as stupid as hiring Jared Fogel as a spokesman.
That’s not nice.
