Subway Fail: No One Votes in Saddest Twitter Poll


This is either a huge embarrassment or the most unexpected marketing scheme that we"ve seen in a while.


So, the Twitter account for Subway restaurants in Canada tweeted out a pair of polls.


Everybody loves to vote in polls, and people on the internet tend to have strong opinions about anything. Movies, rebooted children"s cartoons, politics, and yes, fast food.


Somehow — and this has stumped quite a few people — this social media account, with 135,000 followers, managed to get zero votes on both polls.


People like to make fun of Subway, even though their food is delicious (it is; maybe you"re just ordering the wrong things). Possibly because their most famous spokesperson turned out to be a monster.


But is their popularity really hurting so badly that no one even noticed a pair of polls untilt he results — 0 votes in all categories — had been posted?


Or is this a new and strangely genius social media marketing scheme?


Take a look:




1. First came the Bread Bae poll

Though the obvious correct answer is 9-Grain Honey Oat, the poll somehow garnered ZERO responses. From 135,000 followers.



2. They tried it again, this time with greek ingredients

Since feta is bad and tomatoes are inedible, the obvious answer was tzatziki. And yet, again, they garnered no votes.



3. Followers took notice

This person appears to have been attempting to … neg … Subway?



4. Others wondered how it could be possible

We’ll notice that their social media engagement is fine.



5. This person tried to "vote" in a reply

A reply after the fact is not the same as a vote. For examples, see Brexit and the 2016 American election.



6. While some tried to troll, others showered Subway with compliments

People who don’t vote SHOULD be shamed.
