Fourfootlong

Fourfootlong is a term used primarily in internet culture to describe a hypothetical sandwich length of four feet (48 inches). It is derived from the well-known marketing term footlong, which has been used by sandwich chains to indicate a 12-inch sandwich. Fourfootlong functions as a humorous exaggeration or parody of portion sizes and marketing language. There is no official product or menu item named “fourfootlong” offered by major sandwich chains.

Origins and usage

The phrase began circulating in online communities as a meme in the 2010s and beyond. It typically appears in memes, jokes, or captioned images to illustrate absurdly long food portions or to critique marketing terminology. In discussions, people may say “fourfootlong” to joke about wanting more than a footlong, or to imagine fictional promotions featuring a four-foot-long sandwich.

Status and perception

As a meme, fourfootlong reflects casual internet humor related to consumer brands and product sizing. It is not a real offering in mainstream fast-food menus. Variants such as four-foot-long or 4-foot-long are also seen, but the concatenated form fourfootlong is commonly used in memes or search labels.
