N.J. men sue Subway, claim they've been shorted on footlong sandwiches

Two New Jersey men sued Subway this week, claiming the world's biggest fast-food chain has been shorting them by selling so-called footlong sandwiches that measure a bit less than 12 inches.
The suit, filed Tuesday in Superior Court in Mount Holly, may be the first legal filing aimed at the sandwich shops after an embarrassment went viral last week when someone posted a photo of a footlong and a ruler on the company's Facebook page to show that the sandwich was not as long as advertised.
At the time, the company issued a statement saying that the sandwich length can vary a bit when franchises do not bake to the exact corporate standards.
Stephen DeNittis, the lawyer for the plaintiffs in the New Jersey suit, said he's seeking class-action status and is also preparing to file a similar suit in Pennsylvania state court in Philadelphia.

I just measured my foot and it’s only 10 1/2”. I’ve been putting one over on Subway for years! I’m getting 1 1/2” extra with each sangwidge.
I even got one the other day that was 12 1/4”.

Construction inspector for a while....diamter of an 8” pipe is less than 8”. People are just ignorant.And don't even get me started on that 2x4 thing. I could become a billionaire over that one.

I wouldn’t count on it being tossed as frivolous. In CA back in the 1990’s a guy won a class action suit against sellers of computer monitors — the claim that “17-inch diagonal screen” included the inch or two at each corner that was covered by the case was deemed to be fraud.

fortunately a foot is not necessarily 12 inches....my foot, for example is 10 1/2 inches long, the sandwich preparers may have been even shorter.....talk about a frivilous lawsuit, ....if I’m the judge, the plaintiff loses and his lawyer gets disbarred!!!!!!!

On the other hand, sometimes this kind of thing works in your favor. I payed a year of premiums on a Honda 750 at 750+ CC rates. After noticing in the manual that the displacement was actually 748CC I got the rates dropped a category.

I wouldn't call that a frivolous case. Televisions are traditionally (and likely legally) measured according to diagonal screen dimensions.
