The power of the people has triumphed with Subway announcing the return of a sandwich that fans have been campaigning to bring back for two years.
Customers of the fast-food chain were shocked to learn it was no longer going to sell its popular Seafood Sensation after it was removed from the menu in late 2018.
However, since fans began bombarding Subway’s Facebook page demanding it become a permanent fixture on the menu, it was hard for it to turn a blind eye.
“When Seafood Sensation made way for new flavours, we had no idea how many secret seafood-lovers would be shattered by the news,” Subway PR manager Amanda Templeton said in a statement.

“Not a single day goes by without super-fans calling for the return of Seafood Sensation.”
An average of one comment a day has been posted on the Subway Facebook page for the past two years, alongside hundreds of direct messages to the eatery pleading for the sub’s return.
“I love seafood subway it would be great to have it back,” one person wrote on Facebook
“I used to only eat the seafood sensation. The day I asked and they said they don’t have it I went to two other stores to be told same,” another customer explained.
“I haven’t had Subway since, I just didn’t crave any other flavour never did.”
“Same!! I tried so many others but nothing compared,” a third person added.
But since announcing its return on Monday, fans have rejoiced, with some saying “it’s about time”.
“Thank god was annoyed that it was taken off the menu in the first place. Looking forward to getting rolls now,” one fan wrote.
“They always say don’t go back to an ex, even when they say they have changed … but Subway, I’m coming back for your 6 inch,” another person joked.
Others said they had stopped eating at Subway altogether since the seafood sub was removed.

Following fans’ tireless campaigning, the sub will now become a permanent fixture of its menu at the bargain price of just $5.
“The people have spoken and we’re giving them what they want! This sea-foodie favourite is back and it’s here to stay,” Ms Templeton said.
“But if that wasn’t enough, Subway has also agreed to bring back the seafood-sidekick: Thousand Island sauce.”
The Seafood Sensation six-inch sub hits stores on Monday, November 30.
