How was it a lie?
Because 12 inches and one foot are the same thing.

A "footlong", as Subway intentionally branded it specifically to get away with lying on television, is one of a couple of sandwiches, and does not refer to any 12" sub, even as they appended "ANY ANY ANY" to the end of their jingle:

But the better 12" subs didn't count as "footlongs" because for some reason they were allowed to get away with that.

It's exactly the same semantics as Chick-fil-A thinking they could get away with saying they invented the chicken sandwich, by simply branding their chicken sandwich as "chicken sandwich." Except in this case, it got you in the door expecting to pay one price before getting bait n switched.

And I'm not even talking about special orders or substitutions. I'm talking a 12" sub on the menu at like $6.50 or whatever.
