Perhaps three 33-cm sections? (grin)
I just wanted them to consider it.

Hi Paul:
If metric is the sole purpose of defining 1 m subs the idea is great.
Unfortunately, there is a physical logistics problem with the longer subs.
1 m won't fit into ovens let alone half metre. Subway bakes is breads in
on-site facilities. Nice idea though for promotional purposs.

Dear Subway HQ Staff,
The metric system is the preferred system of measurement for trade and
commerce
in the United States (Metric Conversion Act of 1975, amended 1988). So,
why not
whet your U.S. customers' appetites with metric-length sandwiches, which
could
be longer than those you currently make available?
Right now, in the U.S., you offer 15 cm and 30 cm -long sandwiches. Why
not 25
cm and half meter (50 cm)sandwiches, and for those dining in groups, a
one-meter sandwich? For the latter, your ad campaign could show 100 of
the
one-meter sandwiches extending across the length of a 100 m running
track.
The U.S. Metric Association is a non-profit, national organization
dedicated to
U.S. adoption of the metric system as the Nation's primary system of
measurement.
Also, personally, I love your variety of sandwich breads! Thanks for all
the
good eating, and I'd love to order a half-meter sandwich.
Sincerely,
Paul Trusten, R.Ph.
USMA Public Relations Director
