1985 Subway restaurant commercial reairing in 2006

This commercial first aired in 1985, but recently, a marketing genius in the Minneapolis area decided to resurrect this nearly 20-plus year old commercial, big hair, whore makeup and all. Avid fans of this commercial tell me that a short line of the song missing. I suspect this is so the local franchise could tack on their blurb touting the footlong special at the end.

And no, that is not Parker Posey next to the conveyer belt--that is the word from her manager, according to a recent article in the St Paul Pioneer Press (see comments below).

BumpyJohnson and x7b, as is clearly explained in the previous comments and the video description, this video originally aired in 1985 and was repurposed by a Minneapolis-St Paul area Subway franchise and is reairing in 2006, thus the 2006 copyright and the $8.99 special tacked on at the end of the commercial.

this is a joke the commerical at the bottom of the screen says 2006 your a liarrrrrrrrrrr

[afterglide]

Kianna777, it says 2006 because they are rebroadcasting it in 2006. The last segment on the commercial was tacked on by the local franchise. This commercial originally aired in 1985. See this article: http://www.twincities.com/mld/­twincities/entertainment/14784­627.htm

It really bothers me that they removed the "I wanna savor every bite / I want a treat tonight" line in this most recent edit.

[afterglide]

Someone else mentioned that part was missing, too. I'm sure the local franchise lopped it out so they could fit in their plug at the end.

It was Eat Fresh in 1985 but then in the 90's its was The Way A Sandwich Should Be and now its Eat Fresh again.

You sure this is 85? Seems more like early 90s to me.
