Subway’s Footlong Cookie Returns After Popular Demand

Subway’s popular footlong cookie is making a comeback, returning to the restaurant chain’s Sidekick menu after months of high demand from customers.

The oversized treat, served warm and packed with gooey chocolate chips, is priced at $5, though prices may vary by location. Subway announced the return in a press release on Wednesday, describing the footlong cookie as a “much-needed morale booster” for customers.

According to a nationwide survey conducted by the company, 70% of respondents said that enjoying a footlong cookie would brighten their day. To put that into perspective, Subway compared the excitement to another feel-good moment (cuddling with puppies) which 89% of participants said would lift their spirits.

A Nationwide Favorite

The footlong cookie first debuted in January and quickly became a fan favorite. Since its launch, Subway has sold over five million of them across the country.

“The Footlong Cookie has delighted millions of Americans since their first bites in January,” said Paul Fabre, Subway’s senior vice president of culinary and innovation. “Subway worked diligently to rush additional Footlong Cookie supply to satisfy cookie cravings at a great value and serve up a footlong dose of happiness this summer.”

With its enthusiastic return to the menu, Subway is once again giving customers a chance to indulge in the oversized, chocolatey dessert that quickly became a sensation.
