A few months back, So Good ripped Kellogg’s for their gutless decision to cut Michael Phelps as a spokesperson after he was photographed smoking from a bong (yet didn’t seem to mind his previous DUI when hiring him).  We also praised Subway and other sponsors, such as Speedo, for standing by Phelps, as well as [...]

Update #2: Since many people don’t seem to believe that Quiznos didn’t play a role, or at least didn’t have an understanding that the video was being made, I placed a call to Playboy to see if they could shed some light on Quiznos involvement (or lack of involvement) in regards to this video.

“Domino’s received a letter from Subway demanding it cease and desist from running advertising featuring the independently researched claim.”
The advertising referenced is Domino’s new [...]

That’s what Domino’s is alleging, with the release of a new commercial from Crispin, Porter & Bogusky touting that their four new oven baked sandwiches beat Subway in a taste test “two-to-one.”  The ad goes on to show humorous comparisons of just how big a “two-to-one” margin is:

Domino’s CEO David Brandon didn’t mince any words [...]

Potbelly’s has had success with keeping their menu simple and uncluttered. But just the other day, they announced the first new sandwich addition to their menu in over five years: The Clubby.

The Clubby will consist of ham, turkey, bacon, provolone cheese and ranch dressing.  The most interesting aspect of it though, is that Potbelly’s [...]
