Subway foot-long subs are actually several inches longer than my foot. But I'm sure they are as long as somebody's foot. Therefore...

If the bread is correctly thawed, proofed, baked and holding times are enforced, they actually are a foot long. I think the holding time was 2 hours for baked bread. Any longer than that, the bread starts to dry out and shrink. The forms they are proofed and baked in are 12 inches.

Did you know a 2x4 really isn't 2" by 4"? I feel ripped off everytime I buy one.

I say we give subway the benefit of the doubt, and say their footlongs are actually 18 inches.
