Subway to ensure foot-long subs actually a foot long

The sandwich company's foot-longs have been falling short.

Subway’s foot-long sandwiches are actually gonna have to be 12 inches. 

The company has settled a lawsuit, agreeing to make their subs the advertised length. The lawsuit was prompted by pictures that went viral showing a foot-long sub coming in at an inch short.

The whole thing turned into a class-action lawsuit, culminating in hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees — all for an inch of sandwich.
