Quiznos sandwich franchise chain launched a controversial advertising campaign in May 2009, entitled, 2 Girls, 1 Sub. Playboy teamed up with the sandwich shop franchise to create a commercial based on the Internet meme, 2 Girls, 1 Cup. The meme features two women acting out several sexual fetishes, including defecating into a cup. Advertising insiders have questioned Quinzos' marketing logic in associating the sandwiches with eating human excrement.Mediabistro: Playboy + Quizno's = 2 Girls 1 Sub (May 19, 2009)
