My response would have been a terse “BLOWME (TM).”

And if they refuse to put the $5 into your Pay Pal account - does that make you the Angry Inch Worm?

Ahhhhh, I see what you did there to circumvent my patent.... ‘inch’ and ‘worm’ as two separate words.... you’ll be hearing from my lawyers! (I’m going to spend $100K in legals to get ‘my’ $5)

Unlucky for you, I AM a practicing lawyer. Bring it on Sparky! ;)

I’m shocked it took 28 replies for that. This thread should have dived for the gutter by reply 3 IMO.

Subway should be ordered to cease and desist calling what it serves “food”.

"What a stupid corporate move. Their advertising has given them the "footlong" association they want. Taking it this far will only lose business for them." <<<
I agree with you!! Who'd think up something this utterly stupid, oh right, I suppose it's another weirdo MBA from Haaaaarvard Business School.
Each time I see a Subway Sandwich Shoppe, I will immediately think of this frivolous manueveur by Subway, it's NOT a wise business move to alienate your customer base.
LOL
This is almost a "textbook" case, it is so preposterous.
