New York (AP) - What's in an inch? Apparently, enough missing meat, cheese and tomatoes to cause an uproar.
Subway, the world's largest fast food chain with 37,000 locations, is facing criticism after an Australian man posted a picture on the company's Facebook page of one of its famous footlong sandwiches next to a tape measure that seems to shows it's just 11 inches.
More than 100,000 people have "liked" or commented on the photo, which has the caption "Subway pls respond." Look-alike pictures have popped up elsewhere on Facebook, and The New York Post conducted an investigation that found four out of seven foot-long sandwiches were shy of the 12 inches that makes a foot.
