Let the record show that Blimpie sandwiches aren't all they're stacked up to be. In the first sandwich-centric lawsuit I've encountered since starting this blog, two Illinois residents have filed a class action lawsuit against the sandwich chain, claiming that its Super-Stacked sandwiches do not have twice the meat of a regular sub, as advertised. And they've done some serious research, according to Above the Law:
The class claims a 12-inch Blimpie’s Best sub contains 50 grams of protein, and a 12-inch Blimpie’s Best Super Stacked sub contains 73 grams of protein, so it does not have twice as much meat . . .
Lawyers on the case have estimated damages at up to $75,000 per person. I have never been a huge Blimpie fan, but I have a hard time imagining that a 12-inch sub would leave anyone hungry. I take my sandwiches very seriously, but I'm usually on the side of deleting meat, rather than adding it.
You know what could get me into sandwich court though? A poorly constructed or soggy sandwich. Now that is an injustice.
