Abstract
To celebrate the longest day of the year yesterday (21 June), high street sandwich specialist Subway has created a ‘monster’ six-foot sub, which feeds 25 people and contains over 250 slices of meat!
It forms part of the company’s wider campaign to encourage Brits to “enjoy a long lunch,” after research revealed that the average worker takes just 34 minutes of their lunch break and 11% don’t take one at all.
At £116, the ‘super-sized snack’ has:
- 680g of lettuce
- 96 slices of tomato
- 96 slices of cucumber
- 96 slices of pickle
- 96 slices of olive
- 227g of onion
- 96 slices of green pepper
- 64 slices of ham
- 96 slices of pepperoni
- 96 slices of salami
- 64 triangles of American-style cheese
- Subway’s signature Chipotle Southwest Sauce
The first one sold was an Italian BMT and took the team of three 2.5 hours to eat.
Subway UK and Ireland marketing director, Sacha Clark, said: “Subway is delighted to be launching the Giant Sub, a sharing sub which can be made in any of our 62 million flavour combinations.
“We were dismayed to learn that so many Brits are cutting short their lunch hour and hope that everyone will take this opportunity to book in that long lunch.”
