Subway: Flavored With a 7-inch Knife
John Agnesini bit into a foot-long Subway and discovered a little extra: a 7 inch serrated knife. It appeared to be baked into the bread.
"It's shocking. You see this metal knife. I mean, it's one thing seeing a hair or something," Agnesini said. "If I didn't look at it, could you imagine what would happen? I could've slashed the side of my mouth." (NY Post)
Despite not cutting himself, Mr Agnesini still came down with food poisoning - he claimed the knife was "filthy".
Agnesini is suing Subway to the tune of $1 million.
...another good reason to eat and chew slowly.

Weird. I wonder how that got in there? I also wonder how whoever baked the bread missed the knife being in there. Crazy.
ReplyWhoa! And another reason to eat at home more!
ReplyThis happens from time to time. Not the main reason to cook your own meals but a reason non the less
Reply6 inch sub, 7 inch knife...
Even the biggest pot head working behind the counter would have noticed that in there.
Reply(they cut the foot long subs in half)
ReplyThat's what I thought - but the picture above seems to show otherwise?
ReplyRead the story. He was eating a foot long sub, not a 6 inch one.
ReplyNow that's what you call CUTTING calories at Subway!
ReplySave money. Cut your own sub.
ReplyThat reminds me of the time a patient found out a few minutes after a surgery that the doctors who operated on him somehow left a whole tray of utensils inside his body.

Methinks that their bread bakers need a HACCP review.
ReplyWow that pretty shocking even for a fast food place.
It's pretty safe to say accidents happen and sometimes stuff falls in food but to miss a 7" knife in what your baking is pretty serious.
ReplyHaving worked for Subway in college, I can totally see this happening. Those knives are everywhere and could easily get bumped into a bread-form without notice.
It's a total fluke that it wasn't discovered between baking and sandwich making. And most Subway's cut the footlongs before they wrap them up.
I bet if they were still using the old U-gouge the knife would have been discovered. Cursed straight cut! :-)
ReplyI am a little scared to eat at a subway again, how can the bread baker have missed his knife going missing like that make you wonder what other items go missing into subways, even weirder that the man developed food poisioning from the knife surely all that equipment is cleaned properly.
ReplyHe probably got plastic poisoning (not food poisoning) when the knife melted into the bread during baking.
Replyrefund his money and go to McDonalds. Not worth a million dollars.
ReplyOkay..a clearly a mistake. A big mistake. Just hard to figure how this guy thinks a compensation of a million dollars is on the horizon. I wonder if he has been sued astronomical amounts for every mistake he has made. Or, is it possible he found the knife prior to biting into it and just made the claim?
ReplyMaybe subway should sue him for biting their knife.
ReplyThis is the trouble in life, nobody cares about other people, you can bet that the guy who baked the bread did it on purpose, i think it's sick that anyone could do this, where is the humour for someone in that, some people should get a grip, hopefully something bad will happen to him one day and see how he likes it..
ReplyI suppose the upside is that he probably didn't finish eating all 7 inches.... which seems to be too large a portion for one person!
And listen if a judge can sue a dry cleaner for $68 million for pain and suffering because his pair of trousers weren't ready when he needed them... well need we say more!
ReplyThis is very fishy. How do you put a seven inch knife into a six inch sub? Even if he bought a foot-long, they always cut them in half. The guy is an idiot. One million dollars? That's ridiculous! How traumatized could he be? I found a green twist-tie in my salad at a local deli buffet. I set it aside, finished my salad and went to get more. Before I left I discreetly showed it to the manager. He promptly offered an apology and refunded my $7.12. I was happy with that and have been back several times. No illness, no trauma! This guy is an idiot. Accidents happen!
ReplyMy parents ordered a pizza from Pizza Hut one day, and I had a slice. I was chewing on the crust when I bit into something hard. I spit it out and it was a plastic push pin. If I had bit into it wrong, it would have gone into my gums or the side of my mouth. Luckily, I wasn't hurt.
In visiting that Pizza Hut, I noticed that they have push pins on the main board at the front of the store where they take orders. Likely, they were tossing some dough here or the pin stuck to their uniform when they were making the crust.
Replyi found a rusty rusty machine spring in my cheese sticks a few easter's ago. it was my last one, and i had just ordered a lobster, but i lost my appetite. the place was planned to close down and we had gone their every easter so we we're just going for tradition. i think the cook was bitter that he was losing his job and decided to take it out on my molars.
ReplyJohn Agnesini is a homo. He should shut his face and not go back to that subway like any other normal human being would do.
Instead, his greedy ass has to sue subway for $1 million JUST because they left their knife in his sandwich.
Seriously.. Get real..
