Definitive answer the question - Subway 6" or footlong?

[NealBinnom-Williams]

The best part of a footlong is pretending half of it is for later.

Then you take one more bite, and another, and suddenly there's about three inches left. At that point it would be rude not to finish it.

There's a case for the 6 inch if you're pairing it with soup or another side.

On its own though, it rarely feels like enough unless you've got a very small appetite.

Family joke is that nobody ever regrets buying a footlong.

Regretting not buying one, on the other hand, happens surprisingly often once everyone else is still eating and your sandwich has disappeared.

Sometimes the mood decides more than hunger.

A quiet lunch where you're just grabbing a bite? Six inches. Weekend treat after a busy morning? Bring on the footlong.

The real winner is whichever one has the freshest bread that day.

A great sandwich on fresh bread beats a bigger one that's been sitting around a while. Everything else is secondary.

Years ago I tried convincing myself that a 6 inch plus two cookies was somehow the healthier option.

Looking back, the maths there was a little creative.

Can't remember the last time I ordered a footlong and thought, "That was a mistake."

Can remember plenty of times finishing a 6 inch and immediately wishing I'd gone bigger.

One colleague always buys a footlong and slices it into two proper meals.

Watching someone display that level of discipline is impressive. Mine usually disappears before I even get home.

Best Subway experience I had was splitting a footlong with a friend after a long day out.

Neither of us wanted a full one, so it worked perfectly. Everyone left happy, and there wasn't a single crumb left.

Simple rule: if you're already standing in the queue wondering whether a 6 inch will be enough, you've probably answered your own question.

Go for the footlong and save yourself the inevitable raid on the snack cupboard later.
