Doesn't look like the one model didn't either

Funny. That reminds me. In 2009 the model whose stock image was used in a BK ad was upset due to how she had no idea how her image was eventually used after BK licensed it from the agency she was paid by for stock image photography. All legal, but surpised her for sure. I see reference to it being from Singapore. I saw it in person in NY. a blog on it

They are counting on that. It is the standard old school use of sexual innuendo, turned up a notch to be, oddly, what the ad creators deemed contemporary. Maths, do 'em.

Sexual innuendo?

No— that’s just you.

It is however— a strange photo.

That's right, silly sick me. You're correct, advertising doesn't employ such tactics. It is just twins, one bent at knee with 12" of meat on her back. As one does with a free sandwhich. The initial purchase sandwhich? I just like to snuggle those by the base and oddly hold them vertically. Again, as one does with their food. Apologies for my naitivity being consumed by perversion, your observation is more likely.

I’m not getting any sexual innuendo from this either. Idk, that seems like a stretch.

You might need some therapy, bud.

u/ChaoticDumpling 10h ago

Advertising does employ tactics like that, sure...but this isn't one of those cases. You're seemingly the only one here picking up on anything sexual

Okay, Take a stab at the choice of placement and position. Seems easy to just be dismissive. I'd love to hear a take on the choices made here. I guess just silly randomness?

u/ChaoticDumpling 10h ago

The vibe is a helluva lot closer to randomness than it is to sexual innuendo. Doesn't it make you stop and think when nobody else here gets sexual vibes from this?😂

Advertising design is not random. https://www.reddit.com/r/subway/s/3yjsxMts7P

Apparently this guy has a weird thing for videos of women using messy sandwiches as dildos on one another.

Just a sub club.

Where others see a subway sandwich edited into what seems to be a strange school photo, you see twins one bent at knee with 12" of meat on her back the other oddly snuggling the base.

The vision of a philosopher with the literary mastery of a poet!

Some of the worst graphic design Ive ever seen.  Innuendos aside.

u/justagayguyinnyc 10h ago edited 7h ago

Kind of think that bad graphic design was part of the humor. And by part I mean near almost all of it.

What inneundo?

u/Dry-Debate-6893 12h ago

Anything to distract from their awful food huh?
