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

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.

'Lilo & Stitch' stars reflect on film's success and are eager for a sequel
SAN DIEGO -- A few things have changed for the stars of 'Lilo & Stitch' since the movie became the breakout hit of 2025. For 8-year-old star Maia Kealoha, it's meant no more Doritos – she's learned she has to keep her teeth clean, especially when doing interviews. Kealoha, Sydney Agudong and Tia Carrere have been doing lots of those, taking a victory lap with 'Lilo & Stitch' at Comic-Con 2025 and promoting the film's release for digital purchase. Another change? Kealoha says with a big grin that she's been recognized at stores 'like five thousand times.' Agudong says the movie 'an ode to Hawaii' and it's been really cool to 'see how much the world has taken to it and how much impact 'Lilo & Stitch' really has had as just this lifelong and timeless story.' She says she's been fortunate to celebrate the film's success with family and friends and despite premieres and whirlwind interviews, she still gets to 'go to the beach and have fun all over again and I'm just the same.' Kealoha and Agudong are the breakout stars of the film, which is the biggest blockbuster of 2025, earning more than $1 billion. 'Our little blue friend Stitch is now a billionaire and we couldn't be more excited about it,' Carrere says excitedly. As for a sequel, Agudong says the trio are feeling 'hanna hou,' a Hawaiian term for repeating or doing something again. 'Though, of course, we cannot confirm or deny the existence of any such project in this universe or the next. Sorry!' Carrere cheerfully noted.

MLB Crowd Record at Speedway Classic in Bristol? Big Draw Set for Braves-Reds
Officials are expecting a record crowd at Bristol Motor Speedway to watch the Cincinnati Reds play the Atlanta Braves in the MLB Speedway Classic on Aug. 2. "We can't wait for next Saturday night ... when that first pitch is thrown out and the stands are full," Jerry Caldwell, Bristol's president and general manager, said Friday. "We'll be setting records, we'll be having attendance records. We'll announcing all those details later on, but we'll be there, I know we will." The largest crowd ever to see a baseball game was 115,300 for a March 2008 exhibition between the Red Sox and Dodgers at Los Angeles Coliseum. Bristol packed in 156,990 for the Battle of Bristol college football game in 2016. Officials showed off the work Friday with a baseball field now sitting on top of the infield inside the half-mile bullring where cars and a building once sat for NASCAR races. Workers still have some finishing touches to put on the field inside the racetrack. Murray Cook, an MLB field and stadium consultant with BrightView, said he's excited to be at this point in the process of building a ballpark. Final touches still remain for the clay along with all the padding and branding, which should be in place by Wednesday at the latest. Crews also held a light check Thursday night to make sure the Musco lights meet MLB standards. "We've had a blast building this," Cook said. Even though the Braves play the Reds in Cincinnati on Aug. 1, the day before the Bristol game, fans are being encouraged to settle in for the big party planned both outside and then inside the racetrack for game day. Caldwell said fans should show up by noon on game day to enjoy the attractions outside the track, including music, a 110-foot Ferris wheel, a food truck row, pitching tunnels and batting cages and team mascots. Once fans head inside, Tim McGraw and Pitbull are scheduled to perform. Demolition started in early June with heavy construction now in high gear to transform Bristol Motor Speedway into a ballpark for the first MLB game in Tennessee. This game features grandstand seating for fans along both baselines. Both teams will be wearing NASCAR-inspired uniforms with details like flames on the brim of the Braves' caps and a finish-line checkerboard for the Reds' caps. The MLB Speedway Classic also will be included in the "MLB The Show 25" video game after an update scheduled for Tuesday. Caldwell said the project has been long in the works. "We're ... thrilled to be able to welcome everyone to Bristol and partner with Major League Baseball, the state of Tennessee and so many others to be able to pull this off," he said.
