Social media buzzes at picture of 11

Social media buzzes at picture of 11,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
- What's in an inch? Apparently, enough missing meat,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], cheese and tomatoes to cause an uproar.
Subway,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the world's largest fast food chain with 38,000 locations, is facing widespread criticism after a man who appears to be from Australia posted a photo on the company's Facebook page of one of its footlong sandwiches next to a tape measure that shows the sub is just 11 inches.
More than 100,000 people have "liked" or commented on the photo, which had the caption "Subway pls respond." Lookalike pictures popped up elsewhere on Facebook. And The New York Post conducted its own investigation that found that four out of seven footlong sandwiches that it measured were shy of the 12 inches that makes a foot.
The original photo was no longer visible by Thursday afternoon on Subway's Facebook page,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which has 19.8 million fans. A spokesman for Subway, which is based in Milford, Conn.,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], said Subway did not remove it.
Subway also said that the length of its sandwiches may vary slightly when its bread,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which is baked at each Subway location,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is not made to the chain's exact specifications.
"We are reinforcing our policies and procedures in an effort to ensure our offerings are always consistent no matter which Subway restaurant you visit,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," read an emailed statement.
The Subway photo - and the backlash - illustrates a challenge companies face with the growth of social media sites like Facebook,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], YouTube and Twitter. Before,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], someone in a far flung local in Australia would not be able to cause such a stir. But the power of social media means that negative posts about a company can spread from around the world in seconds.
"People look for the gap between what companies say and what they give, and when they find the gap - be it a mile or an inch - they can now raise a flag and say, 'Hey look at this,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],' I caught you," said Allen Adamson, managing director of branding firm Landor Associates in New York.
Subway has always offered footlong sandwiches since it opened in 1965. A customer can order any sandwich as a footlong. fell into the recession, and has continued offering the popular option throughout the recovery.
An attempt to contact someone with the same name and country as the person who posted the photo of the footlong sandwich on Subway's Facebook page was not returned on Thursday,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
But comments by other Facebook users about the photo ran the gamut from outrage to indifference to amusement,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. One commenter urged people to "chill out." Another one said she was switching to Quiznos. And one man posted a photo of his foot in a sock next to a Subway sandwich to show it was shorter than a "foot,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]."
"I've never seen so many people in an uproar over an inch. Wow,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," read one Facebook post. "Let's all head to McDonald's and weigh a Quarter Pounder," suggested another poster.
The Subway footlong photo is just the latest in a string of public relations headaches for that were caused by a negative photo or event about a company going viral.
Last year, a Burger King employee tweeted with a picture of someone standing in sneakers on two tubs of uncovered lettuce. Domino's Pizza employees posted a video on YouTube of workers defacing a pizza in 2009. And a KitchenAid employee last year made a disparaging remark about President Obama using the official KitchenAid Twitter account.
