Subway – the fast food chain that is still legally allowed to call its sandwich wraps ‘bread’ an overwhelming majority of countries– found himself in a new legal / PR swamp this week, when a new lawsuit claimed the “tuna” in his beloved tuna salad sandwiches was not. The complaint, filed in Northern California, alleges that the “tuna” oozing out of your delicious footlong tuna salad sandwich, rather than that particular kind of flavorful fish, is a “mixture of different concoctions that do not make up tuna, yet have been mixed together by defendants. to imitate the look of tuna, “and, more devastatingly, would be” no fish. ” according to comments made by the plaintiffs in the case The Washington Post.
Subway, of course, has denied that the “different concoctions” in his sandwiches are anything but cooked tuna mixed with mayo, but we’re clearly already pretty solid in the “let’s deny it by the bastards” area here. Once someone has raised the possibility that one of your delicious drinking slurries doesn’t contain what you’re saying, it’s in it – and the general public is forced to really think about what power be in it – the battle for hearts, minds and stomachs is pretty much already lost.
Subway has at least one defender in the corner: Jessica Simpson, who – in a sense that’s not only funnier than just about every line of dialogue in any given Jessica Simpson movie ever, but everything we’ve personally thought of in about a year. – referred to her own notorious difficulties in identifying tuna with a tweet of solidarity for the sandwich chain.
Absolutely cruel.
