One could say this case has more substance than a subway sandwich.
Don't those photos always have a small print disclaimer on them that says the actual product may not look like that or something along those lines? Is that enough to protect them in a lawsuit?
Fun fact I've been told by laywers in a different industry (software ie EULA and licenses): most of that stuff doesn't do anything. It's a front door lock. But it's ok because for most companies you're also restricted by what lawyers say is ok (oh no we can't use this "git" stuff, it's GPL and GPL is literally going to murder you in your sleep it you use it!?!).
serving suggestion. Picture contains ingredients from 8 actual sandwiches
Glad the subway by me went out of business
I worked at a subway, and everytime we put new menu the images get more and more astranged from reality
Yeah, it's not really new. In the movie Falling Down from 1993 (weird, I thought it was late 80s) has the whole scene where he's complaining about the difference between the advert and what you're served in a fast food place (well also that they wouldn't serve breakfast because it was like a couple of minutes late and almost certainly had some still hot breakfast around, but that's another story).
It's been this way for a long time, all over the world. I'd be amazed if this turned into a world changing case after all this time.
"You see what I mean? It's plump, it's juicy, it's three inches thick. Now, look at this sorry, miserable, squashed thing. Can anybody tell me what's wrong with this picture?"
Grinder vs real life?
Zootopia has a scene that shows this issue on microwave meals.
Coincidentally got subway yesterday for the first time in years. Immediately noticed that the bread is less than half the width of what it used to be.
Why can't Subway just give this woman the meat she paid for?
She should have went to Arby's.
Arby's | We Have The Meats
Even Arbys has shrunk things down. And don't get me started on them removing potato cakes!!!
