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.

I worked at a subway, and everytime we put new menu the images get more and more astranged from reality

Yeah, it's not really new. In the movie Falling Down from 1993 (weird, I thought it was late 80s) has the whole scene where he's complaining about the difference between the advert and what you're served in a fast food place (well also that they wouldn't serve breakfast because it was like a couple of minutes late and almost certainly had some still hot breakfast around, but that's another story).

It's been this way for a long time, all over the world. I'd be amazed if this turned into a world changing case after all this time.

"You see what I mean? It's plump, it's juicy, it's three inches thick. Now, look at this sorry, miserable, squashed thing. Can anybody tell me what's wrong with this picture?"
