Subway customer whips out ruler and finds ‘6-inch sub’ is actually just 4 and a half inches

Gutted Karly Coulton ordered the sandwich for lunch but after opening it thought it looked a lot smaller than expected

Karly Coulton ended up with a 25% reduction in her sandwich length

A Subway diner was shocked when she measured her 'six inch' sub - and it measured just 4 and a half.

Gutted Karly Coulton ordered the sandwich for lunch but after opening it thought it looked a lot smaller than expected.

She then decided to whip out a ruler to measure the sub and found her suspicions were correct, Devon Live reports.

The sub, which she paid £3.80 for, turned out to be only four-and-a-half inches long - 1.5 inches smaller than advertised.

The sub Ms Coulton bought was only 4.5 inches long - 1.5 inches LESS than what she paid for. (

Karly, 33, said: "I popped out of work to grab a quick bite to eat and Subway was one of the nearest places to go.

"I chose a six-inch inch baguette but thought it looked extremely small, especially for the money.

"Naturally, once I was back in the office my colleagues and I decided to measure it up for size with a ruler, and as suspected, it was not six inches at all!

"I was duped out of an inch and a half. If I go back again I'll be taking my trusty ruler."

Karly. who is a broadcast journalist for Heart FM, says she bought her sandwich from the Honiton Road branch in Exeter, Devon, on Wednesday and then joked about its size on social media.

She jokingly tweeted: "Just got back to the office with my £3.80 "6 inch" @SUBWAY (where I've never bought from before) and just bloody look.

"As I thought, not 6 inches at all! I knew I knew my inches. Rippedoff Exeter"

A Subway spokesman said: "The goal of our Sandwich Artists is to always make a great sandwich for their customers.

"Bread that is baked fresh each day in the store can cause some variation, but in this case we acknowledge that the bread does not meet our standards for producing a Sub of consistent length.

"We apologise to the customer and request that she revisits her local store where the franchisee would be happy to refund and replace the Sub."

Embattled food chain Subway Australia has attempted to tackle the growing controversy over its “footlong” sandwiches not necessarily being 12 inches long by telling its customers that the name of the snack is not intended to be a description of its length.

The comments on Subway Australia’s Facebook page came after users began to post images of “Footlong” sandwiches that were not.

Subway Australia has responded to the controversy byclaiming that its use of the word “footlong” is not meant to refer to length. It posted on the Subway Australia Facebook page:

“With regards to the size of the bread and calling it a footlong, “SUBWAY FOOTLONG” is a registered trademark as a descriptive name for the sub sold in Subway® Restaurants and not intended to be a measurement of length.”

The furore has become an international story with the New York Post splashing with the story and even the Wall Street Journal covering it.

Perth teenager Matt Corby is reported to have been the first person to post an image.

The Australian Consumer Competition Commission was unaware of the issue when contacted by Mumbrella today but a spokeswoman said there were laws governing misleading advertising, and said consumers should make official complaints.

“The Australian consumer law prohibits conduct by businesses that is misleading or deceptive,” she said, adding her comments were general and were not specifically related to Subway.

“Whether the activities of a business raises concerns under these provisions depends on the circumstances in the case.

Enforcement of the law would aply if a breach was found.

“(Concerned) consumers should contact their local fair trading agencies or the ACCC.”

Meanwhile, a previous US ad for Subway, currently available on YouTube, tends to contradict the chain’s claim that it doesn’t link the word “Footlong” with length, featuring “1ft” hovering over the head of characters in the ad.

5pm update: Subway has issued the following media statement:

“Each Subway® restaurant freshly bakes bread in-store every day. We use bread forms that are approximately 30cm in length, however, due to the natural baking process, slight variations in the length of the final product can happen.
“’Subway Footlong®’ has been registered as a trademark and is a description of the sandwich only; length of the final baked product cannot be assured due to this natural baking process. We have policies and procedures in place to ensure that our products are consistent no matter which Subway® restaurant you visit.
“The photo of a Subway® sandwich that you referenced is not baked to our standards.
“We believe in this case that our procedures were unfortunately not followed.”
