The Onion’s fake coupon offended Subway and its customers, but one store accepted the coupon.
The Onion published a story about a fake September 11 promotion at Subway last week.
Youtube user Travis Northup uploaded a video Thursday where employees at one Subway location accepted the fake coupon.
I played a prank on my friend and convinced him that The Onion's satirical 9/11 deal was a real promotion, and when he and my other co-worker (who was in on it) went to grab the food Subway actually honored the promotion. I gave my co-worker a blown up version of the picture that The Onion made for their article and they accepted it. I have a receipt showing a subtotal of $9.11 before taxes. My mind was blown.
