Remember Subway's "five dollar footllong" promotion? I think (memory fuzzy) that I worked at a Subway when that was going on. If you were savvy (and poor), you could get 2 meals for $5.

I'm not sure they ran that promotion here in DK, or if they did, it was before I made it here.

But food is food!

We did a whole series of these uber-ironic pics. I wonder how many folks took them literally!

Truth in advertising. McDonald's just started offering a meal at that price in the U.S.- though not anywhere else yet.
