WORKER SHARES REAL REASON SUBWAY RELEASED FOOTLONG COOKIE, CHURRO, PRETZEL

Subway employee Milad (@miladmirg) discussed the three new menu items. The pretzel is from Auntie Anne’s and the churro is from Cinnabon. But why the Subway collabs with other fast food chains?

“I learned something pretty crazy about this,” he said. “Subway was acquired for $10 million from a company called Roark Capital.”

As the worker correctly notes, Roark owns a bunch of other brands: Auntie Anne’s, Cinnabon, Arby’s, Baskin Robbins, Buffalo Wild Wings, Carvel, Dunkin’, Carl’s Jr., Jamba Juice, Jimmy John’s, Sonic, Nothing Bundt Cakes, Moe’s, Cheesecake Factory, and more.

When the content creator saw these three new items, he believed it was just the beginning of a new era of cross-chain promotional food gags. The video racked up over 650,000 views, where viewers shared the partnerships they wanted to see. “Subway x Baskin Robins would go so hard,” one viewer wrote.
