Subway unveils a 180-foot-long “flying sandwich” airship
You could get trapped in this “sandwich”.
Subway recently unveiled a 180-foot-long promotional blimp in the shape of its new half-pound sandwich The beast – and it also serves as floating restaurant Floating 1,000 feet above the ground.
But the “Subway in heaven” — which will have traveled to three cities across the country by the end of the month — could leave a bad taste in your mouth.
“I had thought there would be more space inside the airship, which was described as “a dining experience in the skies.” Instead, I found myself trapped in the sandwich – two rows of four seats each, just a few meters behind the cockpit.” said Kansas City Star reporter Joseph Hernandez.
“There was just enough room to eat from the Subway lunch box with four of their signature sandwiches in it, if you were brave enough to eat.”
Before boarding, passengers receive a lunch box with samples of the chain’s four new products Deli Hero sandwiches – The Beast (pepperoni, salami, turkey, ham, roast beef and double provolone cheese), Titan Turkey, Grand Slam Ham and Garlic Roast Beef – which they can eat in mid-air.
Subway in the Sky landed at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, in time for the NFL kickoff game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Detroit Lions, and reservations sold out in 17 minutes.
