In fact, they were so vocally opposed to the deal that they eventually managed to convince the corporate team to get rid of it altogether. The initial success of the $5 Footlong promotion was astounding. In its first year, it brought in $3.8 billion in revenue and bumped Subway into the top 10 of American fast food restaurants. Stuart Frankel himself claimed tha
Subway's biggest mistake was selecting Jared Fogle as the company's spokesperson. Fogle, who reportedly lost a significant amount of weight eating basically nothing but Subway sandwiches, helped position the brand as a healthier option. However, in 2015, Fogle was charged with child abuse and possession of CSAM, creating a disastrous public relations nightmare for Subway.
While Ovi has a designated Subway employee who personally delivers his food to his car before road trips - hey, you gotta avoid the crowds on such a tight schedule - he's kept things about the same as you and I would with haircuts, which blew the minds recently of his Capitals teammates. Ovechkin - a former Hair Cuttery spokesman - made the revelation inside
Finding a shortcut to put a good Thanksgiving meal on the table is always welcome, and starting this month Subway is offering a quick-and-easy sandwich variation on one of the most complicated holiday centerpieces: the Turducken. Normally made by stuffing a chicken inside a duck that is then stuffed inside a turkey, the Turducken has become a quirky holiday tradition for many over the past few decades. While the Turducken's origins are a bit of a mystery, it has always seemed like more of a novelty than a great way to cook a dinner, but there is no denying its meaty appeal.
This year's theme, "Potluck," invites everyone to bring something to the table-costumes, creativity or just good energy-because, as the organizers put it, "when we do it together and care for one another, there is enough for everyone." Expect a dazzling, chaotic mix of 50,000-plus zombies, witches, robots, Jedis and other creatures of the night marching up Sixth Avenue from King Street to 15th Street between 7 and 11pm.
When people joke about a chain having a store on every corner, the butt of the joke is usually Starbucks or McDonald's, but neither one is actually the country's largest chain restaurant. Of those two, Starbucks is the bigger one, having almost 17,000 stores in the U.S. at the end of 2024.
A hole opened on a crumbling sidewalk near Battery Park that briefly gave passersby a peephole into the subway - and a reality check about how thin the ground actually is. The baseball-sized hole in the asphalt of Battery Place and State Street opened sometime last week, according to a hair-raising Instagram video, but it has since been covered with an orange traffic cone bolted to the ground.
When sold with a drink and a cookie, the round sandwich formed what was known as a Kids' Pak for just under $2.50. Another version of the Kids' Pak was advertised for $3.69 and included the round sandwich, fruit punch, and a Fruit Roll-Ups snack served with a toy. "I used to order them all the time as a kid," wrote one Redditor. But children weren't the only ones enjoying this treat - some recall eating the sandwiches as college students or with their grandparents. Now, however, the item has become one of those fast food classics we may never get back.
California is the US state with the most Subway locations, at 1,985 as of July 2025 (via ScrapeHero). Not far behind is Texas with 1,813 stores.

My dad and I would take the Metro into his office in D.C. on long summer days (I was under the guise I had a job, but I'm sure he was just giving my mom a break) and, in lieu of packing lunch, we'd walk down to the corner Subway store around noon. I don't frequent the chain as much in my adulthood; when a sandwich craving hits, I'm more likely to make my own Italian sub.
Moving hundreds of daily riders exclusively by elevator slows passenger flow, reduces the station's capacity to handle rush-hour demand, and increases wear-and-tear on elevator systems.
