What's funny is that when the story first broke about this guy, they called the thing a "hoagie", which is what we call them here in Philly (as a regional name for something in a long roll)... But I know Subway basically calls theirs "Subs", which is more common in much of the country. I know in New England, they'll heat them and call them "grinders" (and I think Subway also calls them that if they run them through an oven).

So I guess to solve that problem, they just started calling it "a sandwich" and dubbed him "Sandwich Guy".
