Nothing more perfectly illustrates inflation happening in front of our collective memory better than this advertisement.

We’ve truly fallen from grace when a $5 bill no longer gets you 12” of questionable meat on something that can’t legally be called bread.

Oof. It use to be $5 footlong 😂

The song just hit..

‘5 dolla, 5 dolla, 5 dolla foot long!’

This is also my personal marketing slogan

😯

But but... I thought it was $5 for 12 inches?

No, I charge you 6 dollars for that.

For half that.

I had to look it up, but that's bad.

FYI, the $5 footlong promo last ran 7 years ago. To get to $6 6" from $5 12" in 7 years is just over 13% annual inflation.

Do you still believe the CPI numbers?

$5 footlong wasn’t that far back. Or maybe I’m just imagining things.

Try like 20 years ago 🙃

Launched in 2008, ended in 2012.

No way! Is this for real!!!? 🤯

Didn’t you get a foot long for the same price before? I dunno since I haven’t had subway in years

Yeah, used to be $5 footlongs

This is not the halving you are looking for.

That is really crazy. Wouldn't pay that for a Sub!
