Anna claimed that the amount of meat in the submarine she purchased for $7.61 was far from the ‘image of a full stomach’ in the advertisement, and that the actual amount of meat was at least twice less.

Anna also said that these exaggerated marketing techniques have a particularly serious impact on low-income people, who are currently facing a background of economic pressures and rising prices.

Subway, which was acquired by private equity fund Roark Capital in April of this year, has not yet shown any response to the allegations.
