Subway's Footlong Cookie makes a comeback

Subway's footlong cookie is back on the Subway's Sidekick menu after months of demand from customers. According to Subway, over 5 million cookies were sold nationwide after the item debuted in January.

Last month, the company announced the cookie's comeback and stated that it was a "much-needed morale booster." And, according to a nationwide survey, 70% of its respondents said eating a footlong cookie would "brighten their day."

The cookie, Subway said, is served warm with "gooey chocolate chips," and is priced at $5, but the price may vary by location.
