News: Subway - June Featured $5 Footlong

Subway's Featured $5 Footlong for June is the Oven Roasted Chicken with Spinach, which features a base of oven-roasted chicken and spinach plus your choice of bread, condiments, and veggies.

It looks like they're doing away with the $3 Six-Inch Select Sub this month (perhaps because it was the Oven Roasted Chicken the last two months and that would be a bit redundant with the Featured Footlong this month).

Looks like putting a hole in the middle of your pizza is becoming a little bit of a thing. Over in Sweden, Pizza Hut is currently offering the limited-time Pizza Sun. 

While it doesn't resemble the sun anymore than any other pizza, it does have a hole in the middle where a mixed green salad can be found (i.e. stuff that needs the sun to grow).
