Yeah, I've still got that shit stuck in my head a decade later, but now when I yearn for a sandwich I look at a menu featuring $13 options pre-tax. Suck me off with that Subway. Fuck you and your pedo sandwiches.

It's been almost two decades
When the $5 dollar footlong was no longer $5, I lost my faith in the American project
thought about posting this in c/badposting, but then immediately recognized humility can be a mistake and blew out the back on that traphouse
Replacing the dollar menu with $7.29 before tax menu
And just like that a dying neuronal pathway was resurrected and reified. Powerful posting
quietly changing the name of the 'six dollar burger' after a brief period of being literal
imagining a world where they kept the price $5 but kept making it shorter
We used to have a restaurant called "Sevens" because everything was $7. After a while they upped the prices and changed the name to the owner's name instead.
I always wished they would have just updated their name to reflect inflation. So like 2 years after they opened they should have changed the name to "Eights" for example.
The had bangin' mozzarella sticks too. They were just whole ass string cheese sticks with deep fried tempera batter. Probably one of the most American foods I've had.
They completely squandered their opportunity to become Elevenses
New viral Subway campaign:

ONE DOLLAR
ONE DOLLAR PER IIIINNNCH
It wasn't even a foot long too. Average sandwich sizes even in the day were closer to 11 inches.
At a certain point we're going to have start making excuses for the lack of terror
I usually add an inch to my measurements, no one can usually tell and I haven't been sued for false advertising yet
It's going to be even more confusing when the Yuan rises and China forces us to use metric
I'd argue that it shows how even international businesses don't understand basic monetary and macro economic concepts. Its existence should be a reminder to you that your fiat currency is losing value every moment you hold it. 2% year over year is the US Fed's target, and what is in the basket has changed many times

Not long until it will be flavored, textured sawdust.
