Every year at my school's fall fest, an event where students can sign up for clubs and learn about some of the local business, Jimmy John's is there handing out free sandwiches. I am, of course, going to be all for free food, so I hopped in line to grab my sub. With the sub, you get a menu and a cup with all these fun facts. I always enjoy reading these facts while I am using the cup, so I felt like I should share the wealth. So here are 20 freaky fast facts from my Jimmy John's cup.
