A Brooklyn customer named Anna Tollison claimed Subway's ads include photos of sandwiches with "200% more meat" than the subs customers are served.

Summary

Anna Tollison has filed a class action lawsuit against Subway, claiming its Steak & Cheese sandwich is falsely advertised to appear as if it contains 200% more meat than it actually does.

Tollison alleges that Subway’s misleading advertising causes consumers to overpay, which is concerning due to inflation.

Her lawyer said that while such cases often face dismissal, if this one proceeds, it could lead to compensation and class certification, allowing affected customers to seek refunds for the alleged misrepresentation.

    While I agree with your overall sentiment, an italian sub customized to my preferences from WaWa of all places is effing delicious every last time, and they do not skimp on the quantity of meat.

        It’s kinda more of a dairy and sandwich business with a gas station tacked on. Most of them didn’t even sell gas before 2000.

          Closest wawa to me has no gas which I prefer.

          The quesadillas are good. At 2am. When maybe not very sober.

          The ice cream section use to be bigger, they cut that down to like one cabinet and I’m sad. They use to sell dove bars!!

        Again, I agree with you. Doesn’t change the reality of that consistently awesome italian hoagie though. 😁
