so it's "well we think you only need $50,000 for a lifetime of our food" when it's like "one thing every week" or something

If we assume $10/meal for easy math and another 50 years of life, that works out to 100 meals per year. While not strictly a guarantee of Subway whenever you want it for the rest of your life, that's still Subway 2-3 times a week, and I don't think I'd want more than that.

Though, saying that, Subway is just being cheap. 50 years of 700 $10 meals per year instead (twice per day) would cost ~$350,000, which is a trivial difference for a company of Subway's size and would easily be made up by the extra publicity this campaign will offer. That approach would, however, end up costing more in the long run because of inflation, but even so it wouldn't be a problem.
