Tuna and the Subway Footlong

Another hilarious yet meaningful economic lesson from Elaine Schwartz's Blog. You can read here.

Excerpt:

"Footlong eaters sued Subway.

During 2013, an Australian teenager posted on Facebook a picture of his 11-inch Subway Footlong. Feeling cheated (I guess), two New Jersey guys sued, others followed, and we wound up with a class action suit. Subway said the problem was inconsistently stretched bread. Eventually a court threw out the case. (An attorney said that everyone ate the evidence.)

Now, Subway is back in court."
