Summary

Anna Tollison has filed a class action lawsuit against Subway, claiming its Steak & Cheese sandwich is falsely advertised to appear as if it contains 200% more meat than it actually does.

Tollison alleges that Subway’s misleading advertising causes consumers to overpay, which is concerning due to inflation.

Her lawyer said that while such cases often face dismissal, if this one proceeds, it could lead to compensation and class certification, allowing affected customers to seek refunds for the alleged misrepresentation.

Likewise, I can’t imagine that still being taught today. Seems like it would be one of the first casualties of the modern American way of defunding education.

        Fair point. I’m honestly glad to know it’s still being taught, what with the defunding of education in America and everything. It will serve you well.

        But seriously, shut your mouth and learn from your elders. You don’t know what you don’t know, and you’re over-confident about what you think you do. You know how I know? I was you, twenty years ago.

      We learned things a long those lines a couple times when I was in highschool not that long ago, but I also went to a weird highschool so I’m not sure how much that generalizes
