Subway's Halloween ad knows that fitting into a costume is no easy task. The ad encourages you to put down the unnecessary carbs and cals, trading them in for the company's healthier foot-long sandwich.
If you were thinking it's time to bulk up for the winter, think again! You're never going to get into that Sexy Sailor/Nurse/Maid/Teacher outfit with that attitude. Even if you're no longer a college co-ed, dressing up for Halloween is something you never really grow out of.
The ad is focused pretty exclusively on the ladies, but it would have been nice to see a dude wanting to get fit for the sake of his Halloween costume as well -- yes, there are skimpy dude costumes out there!
