Change Your Name to "Subway" and Get Free Subs for Life

This gimmick wouldn't work for Jimmy John's because your name would still be somewhat normal . . . Subway is giving one lucky fan free sandwiches for LIFE . . . if they commit to legally changing their first name to "Subway."

As always with these things, it's not really UNLIMITED subs, but it's a lot of them.  The winner will get $50,000 worth of Subway gift cards.

 If you had one sub a day . . . every day . . . that would last you anywhere from 10 to 20 years, depending on which subs you got.

 If you had Subway for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day, it would only last a max of about seven years.  But don't worry, because if you're eating cured meats morning, noon, and night . . . you might not live another seven years.

 You'll also get $750 to cover the cost of changing your name.

Heinz Says Their "57" Number Was Random, and It's Meaningless

Here's something everyone knows:  The best ketchup is Heinz.  I'm not getting paid to say that . . . it's just a fact.

 Here's something NOT everyone knows:  The famous 57 . . . in "Heinz 57" . . . doesn't mean anything.  It's not a year, or a number of ingredients or "varieties."

Andrea Payne, the head of marketing at Heinz, says, "The '57 varieties' label was surprisingly selected at random by founder Henry Heinz in 1896 . . .

 "The number itself technically has no real purpose . . . even back then, and there were more than 57 varieties." The company has talked about this before, and there's a quote online about how Heinz said he chose "5" because it was his lucky number . . . and the number "7" was his wife's lucky number. However, he's also said the number "7" was selected specifically because of the "psychological influence of that figure and of its enduring significance to people of all ages" . . . whatever that means.
