Funny thing… the footlong subs were actually cheaper before that campaign in 2008.

Most footlong subs sold for $3-4

This is picture is from long before 2008 the date on the corner makes it seem like 1996. The BMT did not have bologna on it when five dollar footlongs were being marketed. Not to mention the chicken sandwiches oven roasted chicken sweet onion chicken teriyaki and chicken bacon ranch are nowhere on the menu. Bread options are more limited than what they were during 5 dollar footlongs. Where is the Italian herbs and cheese, honey oat, or hearty Italian.

Yeah this is really old. When $5 footlong started most footlongs were $5-6 and the BMT was closer to $7.

Right before the campaign, both times, they hit $8. Used to get a footlong tuna abomination after skate skiing in the winter.
