Subway Reveals New Footlong Menu Item —And Next Week, It's Free for Fans

First came the sandwiches, then the cookies. Now, nachos are the newest footlong offering. Subway's latest menu item is crunchy, cheesy and 12 inches: Doritos Footlong Nachos. The new addition is a limited-time option and combine the chips people know with the Subway toppings fans love. The $5 footlong snack, available starting Thursday, April 3, pours out a bag of Doritos Nacho Cheese chips. The chips are topped with cheddar cheese sauce and shredded Monterey cheddar cheese, chopped tomatoes, onions, pickled jalapeño slices and a drizzle of the sandwich spot's Baja chipotle sauce. Customers looking for a punch of protein can add rotisserie-style chicken or steak at no additional cost or can pay extra for a scoop of smashed avocado. PEOPLE got early access to the 12-in. snack and were pleasantly surprised by the item. The chips stayed crunchy and the toppings were fresh because they are stacked for each customer as they order. Testers preferred the rotisserie-style chicken to the steak because the former topping crisped up in the oven and provided a nice textural contrast to the gooey cheese sauce. Unsuspecting testers thought the nachos came from Taco Bell (considering the Mexican-inspired snack and that Taco Bell serves other Doritos items, like the Doritos Locos Tacos ) but the distinct Subway sauce made the item recognizable. The one complaint was that the footlong promise made some testers expect a 12-in. chip but were disappointed that it was just the usual Doritos just served on a 12-in. plate. The nachos join a lineup of other long snacks including the footlong cookies, Cinnabon churros, Auntie Anne's pretzels and meat and cheese wraps called Dippers. Subway released another limited-time treat, the footlong Oreo cookie, earlier this year but it is no longer available. Related: Dairy Queen Has 85-Cent Blizzards for 2 Weeks Just in Time to Try Their Summer Menu Reward members can celebrate the new menu items on Thursday, April 10, with a freebie. Customers can try the nachos for free with the purchase of any footlong sub. The offer will be available online or on the Subway app. Reward members can also redeem the deal in-stores when using the phone number associated with the account. Rumors swirled about the cheesy menu item back in December 2024. Popular food blogger @snackolator posted on Dec. 11 that Subway was testing and will soon be serving Doritos-based nachos. "Subway is getting wild with the footlong menu with Doritos Footlong Nachos!" the blogger wrote on Instagram, explaining that the item was 'being tested in a number of stores around the country.' At the time, PEOPLE reached out to both Subway and Frito-Lay for comment but did not receive an immediate response. Read the original article on People

32 Valentine's Day Gifts That Are Perfect For An At-Home Date Night

We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Turns out it's super easy to make pottery and recreate the scene from "Ghost" at home. 1. First thing's first: A decision-making dice cube that should honestly be a mandatory purchase for all indecisive couples. There's one that chooses a type of cuisine for you, or you can get one that'll tell you what activity you should do for the night! Say goodbye to the nights of endless "What do you feel like?!" while scrolling through Uber Eats. Amazon Promising review for the food dice: "This is perfect for an indecisive couple 😂 it's a nice sleek look, and it's pretty durable, which is good if you use it a lot, lol. Everything is legible, especially for its small size. It's easy to use as someone who needs it constantly, lol." — Destiny P. Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in three styles). 2. A pretzel-making kit so you can both feel like Auntie Anne herself and whip up some twisty carb-filled treats. The kit is technically for kids, but anyone can appreciate its perfectly portioned ingredients, easy-to-follow instructions, and tasty results. The kit includes flour, yeast, pretzels, salt, and a shopping list for wet ingredients. Promising review: "This kit was the perfect Christmas gift for our 6-year-old! It was packaged well and clearly labeled, the ingredients were fresh, and included very cute and easy-to-follow directions! It was a great activity for all of us to enjoy together! We did half the regular salt pretzels and half with cinnamon and sugar; both were delicious!" — Austin Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (also available in five other cooking kits like bagels and cinnamon buns). 3. An at-home wine and painting kit with easy step-by-step instructions — meaning you can keep the wine flowing and still end up with something presentable. This set comes with two 8x10 canvases, four brushes, two aprons, two sets of acrylic paint, two step-by-step instructions, two reference photos, two heart-shaped scented candles, and a tablecloth. Promising review:"My boyfriend and I celebrated our one-year anniversary with this AWESOME painting kit. It was romantic with adorable lovely candles, great instructions on how to paint, and even adorable questions that let us bond more :) I loved that the instructions encourage you to paint each other's canvases, allowing the painting to blend together. This was so sweet and well put together. The packaging was professional, organized, and adorable. It has been hard keeping quarantine romantic, but this 100% helped!" — Shira Math Dip N Paint is a New York-based Etsy shop that sells a variety of step-by-step paint kits. Get it from Dip N Paint on Etsy for $64.99. 4. Or a set of two mini easels with paint if you would both rather have a blank canvas with no prompts. Try painting portraits of each other if you're feeling brave, or give each other a challenge and see who the better artist is. The kit includes two wood easels, 10 small paintbrushes, 12 tubes of paint, and two palettes. Promising review:"When our dog got sick, we had to resort to creative indoor date nights. We did a 'paint your partner' night, and it was super fun! It came with everything we needed, and the quality was great, especially for the reasonable price. Would highly recommend!" — Tatiana Get it from Amazon for $24.99. 5. The Couples Game, which is meant to get you laughing while learning a little bit more about each other. The cards will challenge you to either match each other's answer, get creative to see who can come up with the best answer, or simply decide which person the prompt most relates to. Promising review: "Hubs and I spent an hour during a date night playing this game. My goodness, we laughed. I don't even remember what we were laughing at. This really IS a couples game that's fun. Less about getting into the weeds of your marriage and more about remembering how to have fun as a couple. We also learned that we really DO know each other so well. It's a fun way to spend time together and reconnect. I suppose you can do it with others, but we had fun just the 2 of us." — nina Get it from Amazon for $18.36 (expansion pack and "Late Night Addition" also available). 6. And a box of fun conversation starters ranging from "What's your most embarrassing memory from junior high?" to "What would be the absolute perfect day?" You might just learn a thing or two about each other. Amazon Promising review:"My boyfriend and I have been together for two months and literally have felt like we have known each other since the day we met. I wanted to find some more ways to get to know him better as I've asked every question I could possibly think of, LOL. I didn't look at a single card before we played and it really helped further strengthen our relationship. The different categories make sure you leave no part of your significant other's life unturned! I highly recommend it!" — Braxton Get it from Amazon for $26.95. 7. An air-dry pottery starter kit if you want your date night to end with a little memento you can use forever! It comes with enough clay for each of you to mold your own creation, and reviewers say it's super beginner-friendly. The standard kit includes 4.4 ounces of air-dry clay, a five-piece tool set, white paint, matte varnish, pottery sponge, detail brush, and starter guide. Promising review: "I bought this for Valentine's Day because my partner and I had been craving something creative, and it was so fun to do! They have tons of 'How To' videos online, and we watched a couple while we worked, and it was sooo easy! We are total beginners who have never done pottery before, but honestly, since that one time, we have fully invested in pottery supplies and do it almost daily now. Warning: Doing this activity is a little messy BUT easy to get off any surface." — Lydia Charles Get it from Amazon for $65+ (available in seven styles). 8. A sushi making kit so you can roll up some restaurant-worthy creations — or go rogue and fill it with experimental ingredients you might not find on your favorite sushi spot's menu. You'll have to supply your own ingredients, but everything you need to mold and roll your sushi is provided! The kit includes two bamboo mats, a bazooka roller, two temaki rollers, a rice mold, sushi knife, five pairs of chopsticks, two chopstick holders, one rice paddle, rice spreader, two sauce dishes, one sushi cutting mold, and one guide book. Promising review:"This came with everything you would think you need to make sushi, plus more! It gave you detailed instructions for how to use everything and even included some recipes! Perfect for a date night!" — Tyler J. Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (also available in two other styles). 9. The latest Lego bouquet featuring daisies, cornflowers, eucalyptus, elderflowers, roses, and more. You can each tackle a few flowers over a glass of wine — and there's enough to extend over two date nights if you want to tackle it in doses. Amazon The set includes 15 buildable flowers, including daisies, cornflowers, eucalyptus, elderflowers, roses, ranunculus, cymbidium orchids, a campanula, and a waterlily dahlia. Promising review: "This set is absolutely stunning. As a huge fan of the botanical sets, I was excited to get this one in, and I have to say that this one is the most detailed and realistic in the series. My favorite feature of the set is definitely the boat orchids overall, I am pleased, and this has to be my favorite set." — Leiruagetro Get it from Amazon for $59.99. 10. Or! A classic Lego rose bouquet if you want something even more romantic. It comes with enough pieces to build 12 roses in three different stages of flowering. And unlike real roses, these won't die in approximately 1.5 days. This box includes bricks for a dozen roses (four in full bloom, four blossoming, and four buds) and four sprigs of baby's breath. Promising review: "I ordered these Lego roses for my 4-year anniversary, and my fiance absolutely loved them. It took us about an hour and a half to put together whilst watching YouTube. We probably could've finished sooner, but we were taking our time and enjoying ourselves. Unlike real flowers, these will last forever. I plan on ordering a puzzle vase next to put these in. I highly recommend this product, especially as a gift for anniversaries, birthdays, Christmas, or what-have-you." — Rome Volpe Get it from Amazon for $58.54. 11. A hot sauce-making kit for the spicy couple that loves to heat things up... in the kitchen, of course! It comes with all the sauces and peppers you need to whip up seven bottles of your own concoctions, and the recipes are fully customizable, so you can tailor them to your personal heat tolerance. Amazon The kit includes three glass and four squeeze bottles, a funnel, apple cider vinegar, a spice blend pouch, gloves, various pepper bags including Carolina Reapers and Ghost Peppers, an instruction card, woozy reducers, bottle tops, and label stickers. Promising review: "Great date night fun. Teaches you how to make hot sauce, turns out it's super simple and easy to do. My wife and I had a lot of fun making it together. The flavor is far better than store-bought hot sauce, the heat is better, and it hasn't given me heartburn like store-bought hot sauce. I definitely recommend it." — Zach and Lauren Get it from Amazon for $44.99 (also available in deluxe and premium versions). 12. The Adventure Challenge: Couples Edition — each page of this book has a scratch-off panel that reveals a new activity, so you'll never be short of spontaneous date ideas. There's even a space to put a photo and a few quick notes, so it doubles as a cute scrapbook when you're done! And here's an instant camera you can gift along with the book if you don't have one. Promising review:"I bought this for my boyfriend as a Valentine's Day gift! We both suck at choosing dates, so this helps decide for us. We tried one last night and had an absolute blast! I feel like the way these dates are tailored helps so much in bonding on a deeper level, and it is helping to strengthen our relationship. I cannot wait to choose another date soon!" — Kaycee Lee Get it from Amazon for $47.98. 13. A truly unique romantic scavenger hunt with customizable clue cards so you can make it a totally unique experience that's tailored to your relationship. It comes with step-by-step instructions to help one of you set it up — and both of you will probably have a few laughs while the other tries to interpret the clues. Scavenger Box The box includes eight customizable clue cards, customizable message in a bottle, disappearing ink pen, paper and pencil, "I Spy" jigsaw puzzle decoder message and glasses, glow-in-the-dark letter stickers, secret compartment book box, treasure box and heart lock, 100 faux rose petals, six LED candles, heart-shaped balloon, pink scrabble letters, red envelope and wax seal, customizable "scratch and win" lotto card as a final reward, and four heart-shaped scratch stickers. Promising review: "Great product. Everything came as described, the lock worked perfectly, and the suggested layout was helpful. I had a lot of fun putting this together with a little help from our daughter, and my wife said, 'LOVED it, so fun!' She really appreciated the time and thought we put into it, with help from scavenger box." — Garrett Griffin Get it from Scavenger Box for $84.99 (originally $99.99). 14. Mystic Maze — a jigsaw puzzle with a ~surprise twist ending~ designed by magicians! First, you'll put the puzzle together (it comes with two art cards so two people can work on it at the same time!), then open the sealed envelope to reveal the magic surprise. Fun fact: This was the most funded puzzle on Kickstarter at the time, raising over $3 million. Promising review:"Just got this puzzle for something to do at home over the holidays. Seriously... I have never seen a puzzle quite like this! It's very impressive and exceeded my expectations already. The packaging is beautiful inside and out. Everything about it shouts quality. I particularly liked the envelopes inside for the puzzle pieces and mystery. Heavy weight and substantial. The one holding the 1,000 puzzle pieces stays closed with Velcro! How cool! And the secret mystery envelope has a cool string loop tie. Makes you remember you can't open it until the puzzle is done. The whole vibe of The Mystic Maze is quality and fun, and it also looks like a challenging puzzle. Looking forward to getting started on this. Certainly a good stay-home fun activity. Highly recommend!" — Kyle Fletcher Get it from Amazon for $22.97. 15. And a puzzle board so you'll have a handy place to store the pieces instead of dumping them on the table and hoping they don't get lost. It's big enough to fit a 1,500-piece puzzle and has four drawers to hold all your pieces. Amazon Promising review:"My husband and I recently purchased this as a Christmas gift for ourselves! During the winter, we puzzle in place of gardening! We just finished a 1,000-piece puzzle on it and loved it! The drawers slide right out for sorting, and the puzzle table is easily moved. A great gift for retired folks!" — Karen G. Get it from Amazon for $69.99. 16. A fun indoor s'mores maker for the couple who prefers glamping to actual camping. Now you can bring the s'mores goodness indoors and say goodbye to googling "how to light a campfire." There's a flameless heater in the middle for roasting and four compartments for all your ingredients. The kit doesn't come with ingredients, but you can pick up everything you need in this set! Promising review:"Quality family bonding time together is difficult to come by. Not sure how long this gadget will last and how many times we will use it, but we surely did have some good laughs and enjoyed a good time together around these chocolates and marshmallows." — Xpert Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in five styles). 17. A wireless, Bluetooth-enabled karaoke mic so you can serenade each other without the embarrassment of signing in front of complete strangers. It can easily connect to your phone, so all you'll have to do is hit play on "All Of Me (Instrumental)" and get to crooning. Promising review:"You don't understand — TikTok made me obsess over this microphone. As a 30+ year-old woman, I resisted purchasing it. I finally broke down and bought it because it was haunting me in my sleep. I'm so glad I did. When I am in a bad mood, I start karaoke in my house and am instantly better. It has 'ruined' my teenage son's life because my performances can be heard through his Xbox microphone. This is a must-have product." — Zane A. Undercoffer Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 14 colors). 18. An art kit that activities into a super unique work of art. It comes with the canvas and some body paint to slather on before getting to work. But be warned, everyone will ask where you got your new artwork from, so you might want to practice your answer ahead of time 👀. The kit comes with plastic sheeting, white cotton canvas, black nontoxic washable paint, disposable slippers, and a body scrubber. Promising review:"I got this as an anniversary gift, and it was absolutely perfect! We had so much fun spreading the colors on the canvas, making our piece of art, and then cleaning it off of each other afterward. It was messy, sexy, and so much fun! We will definitely be getting more of these kits for other rooms in our house." — KORSIFER Get it from Uncommon Goods for $60. 19. A fondue pot set so you can dip your own chocolate-covered strawberries — because, let's face it, there's no snack more romantic than chocolate-covered strawberries. The electric warming base will keep your chocolate (or cheese if you're feeling savory) smooth and dippable, and there are four compartments for other snacks like marshmallows, cookies, or anything else you want to dip. Promising review: "This was such a perfect addition to our date night at home this Valentine's Day! ❤️ The chocolate melted in a timely manner and our Louisiana strawberries were just absolutely delicious dipped in it!" — Holly C. Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (available in two colors). 20. A TikTok-famous microwavable popcorn popper, in case you need something to snack on during your Netflix-and-chill session. The lid doubles as a kernel measuring cup, so you can easily scoop some inside, place some butter in the lid if you'd like, and then microwave for three minutes or less. Promising review:"I love this thing so much! I have avoided bagged popcorn for years because of the weird film it has, plus it just doesn't taste as good as stovetop. But cooking popcorn on the stove is messy, and it takes forever, and it's hard to judge the oil-to-kernel ratio. This is the best of both worlds. The little top gives you an idea of how much to use, and you can cook your popcorn in the microwave in a few minutes. It's really the best, and it tastes just like stovetop popcorn. You can add whatever toppings you like and make it as light or as buttery as you wish. This would also make a great gift for friends and family who are missing movie theater popcorn." — Rhianna Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in six colors and two sizes). 21. A movie night kit featuring popcorn kernels and some fun seasonings so you can truly recreate the theater experience at home without the outrageous ticket prices. From caramel corn to spicy sriracha, your taste buds are about to go on a journey. The kit includes three bags of kernels and five seasonings. Promising review: "The amount of seasonings and different kinds of popcorn kernels was exciting for my boyfriend and me on Valentine's Day... The popcorn alone tastes fresh and clean, much better than store-bought popcorn packets! The seasonings are high quality and have a great clarity to their flavor, I would definitely recommend this package as a gift to someone and would repurchase for someone in the future. We love our popcorn and movie nights, so this gift was perfect for my boyfriend for Valentine's 💕" — Leah Get it from Amazon for $22. 22. Or a box stuffed with tons of snacks, so you'll basically have your own at-home concession stand. You can take your pick from Cheez-Its, Air Heads, mini Oreos, and more. Promising review:"I love Crave Box. I buy these for my son, daughter, and hubby for birthdays and Christmas, and they always love them. They are filled with a great variety of snacks, and they love having their own box of snacks! Great quality, fresh, and nice variety." — Stacy Cacciatore Get it from Amazon for $31.95. 23. A hands-casting kit because it's one of the few at-home art kits with results you'll actually want to display in your home. It comes with the bucket and all the materials needed to make molds of your hands — and it's bound to be a conversation starter when guests come to visit. This large-size bucket will fit two adult hands, two adult hands and one small child, one extra-large adult hand, or two to four child hands. There is an extra-large version if you want to cast two extra-large hands or have three or more people who want to participate. Promising review:"This kit is amazing. I got it for my husband and I to do for our 10-year anniversary. It is very easy to use, and it came out amazing!! Every single detail of our hands came through, even our nail beds, the veins in his hands, etc. It dried quickly and came apart nicely. We are waiting for 14 days for it to completely dry so we can paint it. Worth every cent I paid. I highly recommend this to anyone!!" — ItTakesAllOfUs Get it from Amazon for $39.99. 24. A fancy charcuterie board that looks elegant enough to serve the finest cuts of meat and perfectly aged cheese — though we won't tell if you actually fill it with Lunchables. Promising review:"I love love this board! It is beautiful and sturdy. The utensils work perfectly to cut cheese and pick up meats. Because of COVID-19, my hubby and I celebrated our 15-year anniversary at home this year. I wanted something extra special and figured a charcuterie board would be perfect, and this board was beautiful when I put all our goodies on it." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (also available with personalization options). 26. A candle-making kit so you can craft your own personalized scent that you'll be burning long after date night is over. You can mix rose and sandalwood for a floral-woodsy moment, or try lemon and lavender if you want to be transported to a fancy spa. Amazon The kit includes 0.45 pounds of soy Wax, candle melting pot, four candle tins, four candle jars, six scents, eight wax dyes, three dried flowers, ten wick holders, thermometer, candle labels, wicks, and a stirring spoon. Promising review: " This kit was better than expected! It came beautifully packaged. It had more than enough wax to make all the included vessels for candles and more. Quality was top tier in comparison to other arts and crafts kits I've done with my kiddos. Instructions were easy to follow. Came with all the things needed to complete the project. Highly recommend!" — Alicia G. Get it from Amazon for $39.99. 27. An escape room in a box — which might just bring out your competitive side if you make it a double-date night. This one can connect with your Amazon Echo Dot, so Alexa can be your host for the evening. Amazon Promising review:"Bought this for a stay-in date night. We had done a couple of escape rooms before in larger groups, and the puzzles were just as fun as a duo. Took us about an hour and fifteen minutes ... He kept raving about it today, so we are definitely looking for more in the series." — Iron Angels Get it from Amazon for $28.07. 28. Or an unsolved mystery game so you can finally put all those hours you've spent watching true crime documentaries to good use. It'll basically turn your home into a real-life Clue board. Amazon Promising review:"I bought this for my husband and me to have a date night in, and it did NOT disappoint! We were both surprised by the quality of the clues and the amount of detail for the low price. Definitely ordering more cases." — Megan Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 29. A customizable flight board (yes, the mini stem glasses are included!) to help you host your own private wine tasting. Fill it with four of your favorites, or blind buy four bottles and discover something new. My Personal Memories/Etsy Promising review:"I purchased these for my sister's virtual wine tasting as a gift for our friends and family, and they absolutely loved it!! Not only are the paddles made with a gorgeous wood, but the personalization adds the perfect touch." — Odessa P. Hines My Personal Memories is a woman-owned business based in Florida that specializes in personalized items. Get it from My Personal Memories on Etsy for $39.99+ (available in two finishes and eight engraving styles). 30. A picnic set so you can have a romantic candle-lit indoor picnic whether you're in the living room, backyard, or on the balcony. West Elm The kit includes two porcelain plates, two knives, two forks, two spoons, two goblets, and one corkscrew. Get it from West Elm for $99.95. 31. A 14-piece cocktail kit, because why go out to a crowded, overpriced bar when you can bring the bar to you? It even comes with cocktail recipe cards so you won't have to waste any time looking up ideas online. The kit includes a cocktail shaker, velvet bag, recipe book, two liquor pourers, mixer spoon, muddler, and double jigger. Promising review:"Great shaker with a precise and solid build. Does not leak, super easy to clean, with a great muddle stick and mixing/pouring spoon. I'll be grabbing another for a gift." — Jonathan Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in four colors). 32. A pair of magnetic hand-holding socks so your feet will feel more connected than ever when you curl up on the couch for the Netflix portion of "Netflix and chill." Amazon Promising review:"My sister and I have had so much fun with these socks!!! They are super cute and the magnetic hold really well. The magnets are a bit big so you do notice them but overall super fun and cute." — addison fullmer Get them from Amazon for $8.58+ (available in four colors and in packs of four).
