A sandwich being a little bit small isn't a news story

Is a 'foot-long' REALLY a foot? Subway under fire after it turns out its famous sandwich is only ELEVEN inches

It was 11 inches rather than 12 - and caused "an uproar".  Said uproar being measured, as always in the Daily Mail, by the number of people commenting on and liking a picture on Facebook.   If only they were to look at the comments on their own site from time to time:

"... the sandwich looks squashed and the sandwich quite plainly has been cut in the middle, which suggests the possibility the sandwich has been "doctored" for want of a better word. Come on DM why are you wasting our time with this rubbish. It takes particularly low editorial standards to allow a story where the corporation looks like the victim of a hoax" - liked by (at the time of writing) at least three people.  Is that enough for "an uproar" yet?
