Mercedes Scelba-Shorte in Subway Commercial

Mercedes Scelba-Shorte is in one of the commercials from Subway’s “Five Dollar Foot Long campaign.” The campaign features campy situations where various instances, like a cop stopping a woman on a moped, inadvertently indicate a foot-long sub. I think the commercials are cute and fun, but I’ve seen it too many times.

Mercedes isn’t in the main commercials of this campaign, but rather one that features construction workers, firefighters and secretaries singing the five dollar footlong song.

It’s nice to see Mercedes getting work in a national campaign. The fact she’s recognizable takes away from the purpose of this commercial-we now know they are actors, as opposed to real people asked to sing-but that’s minor!
