Prices have inflated so much over the past 10 years that a $20 bill buys as much as $5 did back then.

subway footlongs are indeed $20 on the high end in major metro areas.

    Subway argued in court that "Footlong" is a trademarked brand, and does not mean it's 12 inches. Then they argued that the average consumer would KNOW this, and not be confused by these terms.

    Footlong is a subway branded term for their bigger sub. Foot long is a generic term that means one foot long.

    Yes, that's real. I'm not joking. They legitimately did this. Just like Fox News argued in court that their station is NOT a news network. It is an entertainment network, presenting purely opinion based stories. As such, they have ZERO obligation for their stories to contain even a shred of truth or fact to their stories. And "Fox News" is a branded term, not relating to, or presenting factual news reports.

    On a related note, would anyone like to buy "Bigger Penis Pills"? I mean, it's just condensed sugar in tablet form. But I've branded it as "Bigger Penis Pills", and selling it for $100 per pill.

    Okay, Subway trademarked the footlong, then they cut it in half if you order a 6 inch...

    Did they fucking trademark the size of an inch too?
