Feilding makes 30ft sub for international sandwich day. Made with funding from NZ On Air.
It wasn't a world record ... but it's not every day you see a 30-foot sandwich.
And that's what a takeaway restaurant chain, with a desire to help feed the needy, produced yesterday.
Subway restaurants in Whanganui and throughout New Zealand took part in World Sandwich Day, handing out bonussandwiches to customers and donating proceeds to charity.
And down the road in Feilding, they took things a bit further. Actually 30 feet further.

Feilding Intermediate's year 8 leadership team were gloved-up and poised to begin the task of filling the giant sandwich with cheese, lettuce, cucumber, red onion and a dousing of mayonnaise.
The filling complete, the top of the sandwich was added.
Then Feilding police constable John Samuela was joined by Palmerston North's newest police recruits Dan Molloy and Andrew Butcher to slice up the mega snack which the students shared with the community at the Manchester Square event.
