Biography of Matt Corby
Matt Corby is an Australian citizen hailing from Perth. He gained unexpected fame when he posted a picture on his Facebook page of a Subway footlong sandwich next to a ruler. The famous footlong sandwich was found to be only 11 inches (27.94 cm) long, making it shorter by almost one inch (or almost 2 centimeters).
Subway's Global Franchise
Subway is renowned worldwide for its fast-food restaurants, known not only for their taste but also for their standardized sizes. With franchises spanning nearly 100 countries, Subway offers a famous 30-centimeter sandwich, known as the footlong size, which measures 12 inches.
The Viral Picture
Matt Corby's photo quickly gained immense popularity and circulated widely on the internet. The comments on the picture varied greatly, from demands for compensation for each missing inch to dismissing the whole issue as trivial compared to more significant matters in life.
The Investigation
The photo caught the attention of reporters from the New York Post, who decided to investigate further. They conducted measurements of Subway sandwiches in various locations across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. It was discovered that the Australian's photo was more of a rule than an exception. Almost all the measured Subway sandwiches turned out to be either 11 or 11.5 inches long. The implications of this finding for the Subway franchise's future and whether an official investigation will take place remain uncertain. However, one thing is clear – every Subway customer will now have the inclination to measure their footlong sandwich.
