As part of their new Fresh Resolutions program, Subway will offer customers daily phone messages from their spokesman Jared Fogle. Yep, the man with the big pants will drop pre-recorded inspirational gems onto your phone at the time of your choosing for the month of January. Actually, customers just specify if they need more encouragement in the morning, afternoon or both. There will also be drawings of random dieters who'll receive live calls from Jared. According to a recent AP article, messages will include things like "don't let things at work get you down." Apparently Subway is also offering a free nutrition advice hotline for the rest of this week, as well.
