Safety First! Beware the Giant Sandwich

April 6, 2010 4:57 pm · Posted by nancyeinhart

I often worry about how sandwiches will affect my waistline, but I've yet to consider what they'll do to my jaw. So thank goodness for this cautionary tale! According to AOL News, a man named Chad Ettmueller of Georgia (not pictured) dislocated his jaw while eating an enormous sandwich.

The incident occured at the Which Wich sandwich chain after the man purchased a "Wicked" sub, which has five different kinds of meat and three kinds of cheese. He made his a double, but after biting into his feast, Ettmueller's jaw locked, and he remained in this painful situation for more than 12 hours. How ironic that a cute pun like "wicked wich" led to something so sinister!

A devoted Which Wich fan, Ettmueller opted not to sue the chain, which is especially admirable considering that a couple of yahoos tried to sue Blimpie for sandwiches they claim are too small. Perhaps Chad should stay far away from the Double Down.
