This MMB spot for Subway, which rolled out a few weeks ago (and has upset official Olympic sponsor McDonald's), shows Michael Phelps en route to the Winter Olympics in Vancouver. (Does he know swimming is a Summer Olympics sport?) He crashes through the wall of a pool and "land-swims" through a field of wheat, though of course some have joked about it being a field of "weed." There's also a bag of baked chips at the end, and some have joked about "baked" being code for "toasted."
