The Gist: A Rincon Subway franchise stirred up controversy this week when a seemingly insensitive remark was displayed on their sign.
“Our subs don’t implode,” the sign read, a jab at a devastating recent submarine disaster near the Titanic wreckage which led to the loss of five lives.
What Happened?: Visible from Highway 21, the sign’s message quickly sparked outcry online. It even incited a debate online, garnering thousands of comments.
What’s Next?: In response to the criticism, the Rincon Subway franchise removed the offending sign. When contacted by local news station WTOC, the store manager declined to comment further on the matter.
The form you have selected does not exist.
