They called the ham sandwich fat


Subway is now suing Quiznos for false and misleading advertising. Subway says Quiznos is responsible for the negative comments people posted online about their product after
Quiznos made a TV challenge to audiences in 2006 asking fans to submit videos comparing the two sandwich makers. Quiznos argues it can't be responsible for people's opinions.
Not since Hostess squared off against Lil' Debbie in the famous Twinkie Libel Suit of 1983 have I felt so compelled to yawn because of a frivolous lawsuit. And how can you really control people's opinions if they say the sandwich sucks. I just don't think our country in the midst of the ongoing Iraqi conflict and darkening economic times, needed this right now - for our two bastions of sub sandwiches to be flinging the mayo. Until you're both done, I'll be taking my business to Arbys. Take that, fat Jared.
