UPDATE: We called Subway (like we should’ve done at first) and the sandwich is called a “Super Stuffed Sub”. One of them is named, “The Feast.” In it, you get all the meats (turkey, ham, salami, pepperoni, and roast beef) plus bacon and cheese on “special double-braided bread” (aka challah bread), for $7.99. The sandwich is being test-marketed in NY. Here are some pics of some dudes trying to eat one. They look like they’re choking. Subway seems to be trying to one-up the the mondo-meal market pioneered by McDonald’s Supersize.
Somehow we don’t think Jared would approve.
While Subway opens up the calories on their menu on the one hand, on the other they’re launching a giant new sandwich we would expect more to see from Burger King.

Maybe Jared got tired of being thin and wanted to put on all that weight again in a hurry!
Regular size Subway sandwiches taste like crap. Why would anyone want even more of this stuff?
OK, I don’t eat at Subway, haven’t in years, but there’s nothing intrinsically wrong with big food with high calorie counts.
I don’t know, maybe you consumerist guys are on some crazy fad diet, but for those of us who aren’t trying to imitate Oprah’s latest yo-yo craze, more calories just means more food – and speaking as someone with a high metabolism and an active lifestyle, more food is generally necessary sooner or later.
Apparently most of the people in this thread have never stood behind a 400 lb man at Subway asking if he could get double double meat.
No one is forced to eat fast food!
subway rules, and now i want to go there more. meat is awesome, so why not add more? it’s like the burger king meatnormous breakfast sandwich. freakin’ great.
