Tuesday, November 3rd is National Sandwich Day. And to celebrate Subway is offering two sandwiches for the prices of one. There is a small catch! The offer is only valid when you purchase a 30-ounce fountain drink.
November 3rd is also the birthday of John Montagu, he’s the 4th Earl of Sandwich. It’s rumored that the 18th century English noble wanted something easy to eat at the gambling table. So he made his servants bring him meat between two slices of bread.

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, August 1 – To help celebrate the SUBWAY® brand’s 50th

tasting, affordable, made-to-order sandwiches,” said Suzanne Greco, SUBWAY president. Greco, who
