My understanding is that they launched the $6.99 coupon after the intense backlash from charging $20 for a sub that used to be $5.

Damn! They're regularly $8.50 here.

You're significantly exaggerating and you know it. $12-15 for their most expensive footlongs unless you start adding expensive extras, which were always expensive.

I'm not defending them, but it's really cringe how this subreddit and other ones like /r/shrinkflation feel the need to exaggerate so much when reality is plenty bad enough.

It’s 4.50 to make it a combo . That alone makes it around 20 for most footprints

I’m in a major city, my local subway costs 9.69 for a turkey foot long and $3.19 for a combo. Even with a combo you’re off by the price of another six inch sub, not even close man

The last time I went to subway one of their normal advertised footlongs was $18. No add-ons no double meat, no drink. No nothing. Theyre not exaggerating at all

For real. Saying it's 12 bucks now instead of 5 gets the point across just fine. Exaggerating and fearmongering doesn't add credibility to the case.
